The Seven Deadly Sins of CAD and BIM Management.
Are you a glutton for the perfect CAD/BIM standard? Do you lust after other CAD/BIM managers who have the authority to get things done? Do project teams become greedy about their own standards, wrathfully rejecting the standardized and more efficient ways you proudly implement? You need not despair. This class will focus on ways to put yourself into the enviable position of having users who listen to you. Combining more than two decades of CAD, BIM, and IT support and management experience, plus years of working with numerous companies to help support their technical managers and staff, we will discuss the things nobody likes to talk about—the sins CAD and BIM managers commit while doing their jobs. What sins might you be guilty of, and what’s the path to righteousness? Join this session to learn some of the common pitfalls, missteps, and misconceptions that come with the job, and uncover why they happen, and learn how to avoid them.

Light as a Cloud: Is over-modeling dragging down your BIM 360 project?
Have you ever had a project that loads painfully slow? Have you ever received over-designed models from vendors that had an LOD greater than the agreed upon contract? Everything adds up, and though the sky is the limit, there are limits on time, money, and capacity of the Cloud. This discussion is centered around how we can make BIM 360 work for large-scale construction projects. It explores best practices and tools to work efficiently. It is a place for Project & BIM/VDC Managers to share ideas on managing vendors, subs, and all contributors to the project. We will review many solutions, from adjusting contract language all the way to custom API solutions. This class includes both classic BIM 360 and Next-Gen best practices. Though intended for management-level AEC professionals, all BIM contributors are welcome, provided they are experienced in basic workflows and processes.

Kicking It Off Right—Let’s Group Build a Better BIM/VDC Coordination/Kickoff Meeting
A BIM/VDC kickoff meeting is a crucial (but often neglected) component on any multidiscipline/multifirm project. This session will give attendees a chance to build their own BIM/VDC coordination kickoff meetings. We’ll discuss and put together a one-size-fits-all type of agenda (to be used as a starting point for your organization) for a typical BIM/VDC coordination kickoff meeting. As part of this session, we’ll discuss who needs to attend, what topics need to be covered, how to track the information that is discussed, and how to best document the meeting itself. A final result of our discussion will be a group-sourced, distributable, BIM/VDC coordination document that works for any project type. This session is intended for BIM/VDC managers, BIM/VDC coordinators, BIM/VDC job captains, project managers, and anyone else typically involved in the initial project BIM/VDC kickoff meeting.

Автоматическая инсоляция и KEO в Revit с прохождением экспертизы

Я Мехонцев Андрей Bim-manager компании Altec Systems наша миссия создать экосистему сервисов для строительной отрасли которые позволят строить продуманные здания и комфортные для жизни города. Совместно с экспертизой и проектной компанией создали плагин который позволяет выполнить полноценную инсоляцию и КЕО в Revit-модели с последующим созданием отчета пригодный для прохождения экспертизы с бим-моделью и без бим-модели по традиционному методу. Мы считаем что наш плагин существенно увеличит жизнеспособность использования информационной модели для прохождения экспертизы в формате IFC и тем самым ускорит процесс перехода строительной отрасли на Бим-технологию.
