Autodesk’s cloud-based collaboration services—BIM Collaborate and BIM Collaborate Pro (formerly BIM 360 Design software)—are empowering teams to work within an integrated document management and review solution, providing permission-enriched workflows, and enabling teams to execute projects with unprecedented access and control for team integration. This class will highlight the evolving possibilities of these Autodesk services, all of which can be managed through a web interface and mobile applications. Looking at the functionality of each service module, we will walk through common project workflows and discuss the best approach for migrating your next project to the cloud. We are one of the leading consumers of Autodesk’s Construction Cloud services, with more than 3,000 active projects. We will discuss our success and the challenges we encountered along the way.

Are you interested in using BIM Collaborate Pro (formerly BIM 360 Design software) for multidisciplinary projects? This class is for you! Following a quick product overview, we'll dive into a live project for a whirlwind tour. We’ll start in the authoring tools—working with files from Revit software, Civil 3D software, and AutoCAD Plant 3D software—and show you how to share those files to the cloud. Next, we'll jump into design collaboration, where each design team will create and share its work packages. We'll then move over to model coordination and review any 3D clashes that have popped up. From there, we’ll visit BIM 360 Docs software and see how all project stakeholders have roles to play in model viewing, sharing, markups, issues, and more. Finally, we'll wrap up our journey in Insight building performance analysis software, where we’ll track the health of our project at a glance. This fast-paced course will help you in your decision about whether to adopt BIM Collaborate Pro within your own firm.

Understand requirements for setting up a Civil 3D project in BIM Collaborate Pro; including entitlements, software required, and recommendations for success. We will cover project setup and administration as well as migrating Civil 3D projects to the cloud, checking, and resolving your file dependencies. Lastly, we will understand the role of Desktop Connector and importance of data hygiene.

Many ongoing projects were affected during the pandemic, requiring changes to our design teams’ traditional workflows. Keeping all teams connected and motivated while social distancing has been an enormous challenge for our industry. Autodesk Construction Cloud has evolved to provide the greatest efficiency for cloud collaboration and team integration. In this class, attendees will learn how to use Revit Cloud Worksharing applying a standardized workflow that’s easy to understand and effective for fast-track projects, including project creation, worksharing process, and publish settings. With this workflow, we’ve been able to reduce communication lags, avoid local server failures, and optimize the sync process of our models by up to 50% compared to the traditional local server workflow.

As we work through projects, information is constantly being generated. Unfortunately, we almost never get to see it, much less capture and analyze it, thereby missing many opportunities to inform future projects or help with current ones. Buro Happold is a global engineering firm that's decided to tackle this problem at an enterprise level by finding ways to automatically collect, share and analyze this constant stream of project information. We've taken a multi-faceted approach to mining project data for insights by using a mixture of internally developed tools, Revit, BIM Collaborate Pro, ACC and external tools like Power BI and Kinship. This class will cover the methods and strategies that we are using to mine all the data generated daily by each project. We'll look at how the firm is using internal BIM Radar tool with mixture of external tools. We'll also discuss how to integrate new tools into project teams and how to approach enterprise-level adoption and analysis.

What is a single source of truth and why it is important in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry? In this class, we'll learn the best practices of maximizing Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro, Revit software, and other various tools to create and maintain a single source. We'll also go beyond the usual single source of truth implementation by exploring the innovative data-focused approach to ensure data consistency and compliance achieved by combining the cloud, central project requirements repository, model authoring tools, and API automation capabilities. Regardless of whether you're involved in project planning, execution, monitoring, or closing, you'll find multiple interesting ideas, workflows, and implementation examples of using the latest technology to enhance your capabilities and achieve success.

We all have to start somewhere, and getting started is often the most difficult endeavour of all. As a result, in this class, we'll begin at the beginning and look at how anyone can get started with the Autodesk Construction Cloud. How it's more than just a construction tool for organising and sharing project data. We'll look at Autodesk Docs and see how it may be used as a CDE that follows ISO 19650 procedures and follows the information management method defined in the standards. With BIM Collaborate and BIM Collaborate Pro, we can work collaboratively with the Autodesk Construction Cloud. Also, have a look at Build's toolset for managing all of our project information, as well as Autodesk Takeoff's real-time estimation view.

Building projects are already realized with the innovative Autodesk Construction Cloud, a data and collaboration platform enabling different planning disciplines and teams to work together in a common data environment. In a factory planning project those planning disciplines are enhanced with teams needing to integrate complex production lines, conveyor systems, steel structure and even logistics equipment. Hidden behind firewalls, software installed and running on-premise forces teams to handle time consuming & inefficient data exchange, disconnected collaboration tracking processes and inadequate viewing & reviewing tasks. This class demonstrates how Autodesk’s cloud services make it possible to efficiently exchange data between on-premise systems and cloud solutions (off-premise). We showcase and provide a best practice approach, how to set up a model coordination space in BIM Collaborate Pro to manage a holistic factory model, its clashes & issues and its review tasks.

Join us for this followup panel discussion of the AU class MP3169 Get Your BIM Head Out Of The Cloud. Come have a discussion with various panelists from the industry about how the cloud services can be used in a BIM collaborative workflow.

This class will introduce a wide range of Autodesk cloud-based tools, from quick exchanges with the shared views feature for 3D models and 2D documentation to BIM Collaborate Pro (formerly BIM 360 Design software) for multiteam collaboration. Learn about how connecting workflows, teams, and data can reduce risk, minimize rework, and maximize efficiency when designing and detailing a steel structure.

Multi discipline collaboration is key when using different tools for each discipline. Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro helps different teams who are using different design tools from different locations to coordinate design and engineering work more easily and efficiently. We will solve the challenge of combining Revit for architectural, structural and MEP design and Plant 3D for industrial piping design. We will share specific workflows using Autodesk Construction Cloud that address both simple sharing needs (for consultants and owners for example) as well as co-authoring controlled and coordinated design.

BuildX Studio designs and builds spaces that promote dignity, health, and environmental comfort in Kenya. Time and cost efficiency are key to keeping up with the pace of rapid development in the region. With the introduction of Revit, the industry has experienced a digital revolution allowing for multidisciplinary work-sharing through central models hosted on an individual firm’s Local Access Networks or through BIM Collaborate Pro. Recently, BuildX conducted a survey to determine whether it should migrate its entire design team from AutoCAD onto Revit. Two projects were used for comparison: through a short time-lapse video, you’ll see first-hand the 2x more efficient process with Revit. A housing project in AutoCAD took 3115 hours, while a similar project in Revit took just 1478 hours. Join us to hear about the powerful outcomes BuildX experienced in migrating to Revit, how we upskilled the team, and how your firm can benefit too.

The architecture, engineering, and construction industry is often disconnected. Processes, data storage, and priorities vary between design firms, general contractors, and trades. This fractured environment can lead to missed opportunities and expensive rework. But what if there were a way to connect these stakeholders directly in the tools they’ve been using for years? In this session we will hear from industry leaders about round-trip issues workflows from an easy-to-use collaboration workspace into Revit or Navisworks for resolution—all in a common data environment. Improve accountability through tracking and communication features within the issues layer and accelerate project timelines through continuous collaboration. The future of design-build delivery systems unites teams and tools by unlocking the controlled flow of information between them.

This industry talk deep dive will explain how Dane Architectural streamlined their workflow with Revit to Inventor and back again. When the world of Architects and Manufactures come together it's important that the company has the correct tools to do the job. Dane Architectural have been utilising the Autodesk platform of software, Revit and Inventor for many years and have a small army of CAD-based users. Graitec were surprised to hear how it was taking Dane Architectural design team over 30 days per project to create the Manufacturing models in metal work. This was impacting the company greatly, and we were then asked to find a solution. This didn't take us long, utilising the tools Dane already owned. Working closely with both the Architects and Manufacturers we managed to streamline to design process from an astonishing 30 days down to an unbelievable 3 hours. Throughout the industry talk we will discuss the workflow and how this streamline affected Dane's ability to win more projects. We will also show workflows up to the BIM collaborative model sharing with Architects. "The Revit and Inventor consultancy provided us with a significant improvement in our workflow which took a project of work from an average of 30 days to 3 hours."

Want to learn more about how to manage data with maintenance in mind? This class is exactly for you! We will go deep into the life of assets showing you some secrets when dealing with data that all over the place. Discover how to explore critical assets throughout the project lifecycle from design to maintenance when managing and coordinating multiple 3D models. This workflow starts by preparing models with assets in mind, while collaborating across the cloud. Then we leverage the assets database during the build phase following up on their installation statuses. Finally, we will describe how to maintain these assets after commissioning and handover. Overall, this workflow describes a lossless transition of asset data from design into construction, then to maintenance.

Collaboration for Civil 3D has been around for some time now and as Civil/Infrastructure community have started embracing the technology we will share some useful techniques and best practices for implementing and streamlining project collaboration and connected workflows. This class is for you if you are new or an existing user of this technology. We will start with a quick overview of the product and its components and share tips and tricks on project configuration, migration and Review process.

Effective Building Information Modeling (BIM) collaboration cloud environment is one of the key things that emerges as a time-saver in terms of communication and with respect to team members collaborating on model changes in the central cloud that the entire team is accessing. A360 BIM collaborative environment really helps to reduce direct communications and email chasing between clients and BIM service providers because models can be viewed directly in clouds without any software installations on the systems. Any type of updates, by team members or from clients, can be easily seen and replied to directly in the cloud at any time. This is a very good environment for holding client meetings to mark up and track live projects without using software, even when you are in mobile access. This guarantees that all team members—both on-site and at the desk—will have access to the correct files, project data, and designs. It’s a time-saver even when team members are using various Autodesk, Inc., stand-alone software during modeling, as changes are recorded in the A360 cloud environment. This session features A360.
