The Future of the Construction Workforce
Construction has a labor problem, a skills gap, an image issue, and diversity issues. The adoption of technology in construction presents new opportunities to reinvent our image, and our presence, into one that is much less caveman-esque: One that embraces diversity and technology and values its people. This tech adoption also presents us with new challenges as we navigate how to do this without alienating our current workforce who holds much of the knowledge about how we build. The industry cannot afford to push past the existing workforce, nor can it afford to give in and let the industry operate at status quo. Construction needs to adopt new paradigms that encourage the buy-in and support of the current workforce while attracting new talent from labor pools that are traditionally not attracted to the industry, including women and young workers who are just entering the workforce. There are issues in the industry that need to be explored and addressed in order to achieve these goals.

Create Compelling 2D Sections, Details, and Auxiliary Views from AutoCAD 3D Models
This intermediate-to-advanced hands-on lab offers AutoCAD 3D software veterans a chance to explore the 2D model documentation of 3D models from AutoCAD 2018 software. After creating base views and projected views from 3D solid or surface models, we'll explore sectional views. Using 3D models, we'll create full, half, offset, and aligned sectional drawing views. We'll also create circular and rectangular detail views. We will apply editing techniques of the 3D models to then update the derived drawing views. We will also explore Undocumented Auxiliary View features from 3D models. Exporting the 2D sectional drawing views into model space using the EXPORTLAYOUT command will give us true size and shape geometry to edit and annotate as needed. If you've used AutoCAD 3D software in the past to create 2D multiview drawings from 3D models, attend this class and get ready to be surprised.

Creating Transparency in France with Dynamo
A week after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, Norwegian architects Snøhetta were announced as the winners of the competition to design the new Le Monde headquarters in the French capital. The winning proposal aligned with the wish of both the client and the French society to counter the terrorist attack with transparency and openness-a wish recently reinforced by the election of Emmanuel Macron as the country's new president. In this presentation, Håvard Vasshaug will show you how the Snøhetta design team used Dynamo software and Revit software to create a glass façade that will communicate transparency in a monumental way-by automating the combination of multiple layers of variations in materials, orientation, placement, size, transparency, and reflectivity, while containing both complexity and cost. The project will be a landmark in Paris. Learn how Dynamo was used at the center of the design.

The ABCs of Transitioning to AutoCAD Electrical and Best Practices
Are you using AutoCAD software or some other program to represent your electrical controls designs? The problem is that they are individual drawings with text and lines but no intelligence. It is up to you to make sure the drawings are accurate, and there’s no way to get information from them. Attend this session to learn why AutoCAD Electrical software is a better solution for documenting electrical controls. Even without fully implementing AutoCAD Electrical, you can save 25% more time than when using standard AutoCAD. Additionally, you’ll be able to run audits to verify your design, and extract information from the drawings like BOMs and wire reports.

Power Dimensioning in AutoCAD Mechanical: Adding Power to the Mechanical Designs
We've been dimensioning in AutoCAD software for what seems like a century. You will learn how the multipurpose AMPOWERDIM command automatically recognizes objects and defaults to the appropriate dimension type. Discover how to create multiple dimensions with minimal input, resulting in instant groups of appropriately spaced ordinate, parallel, or symmetrical dimensions. You will also learn how to automatically force overlapping dimensions to automatically space themselves appropriately. You can use the same command to place linear, angular, radial, diameter, baseline, and chain dimensions. Learn how to integrate tolerance and fit list information into the drawing. In a layout or scale area, power dimensions automatically adjust their linear scale based on the points or geometry selected.

CAM Society Case to Build "Design & Make Ecosystem" in Technology Schools
India annually produces 01 million tech graduates, but many are considered unemployable due to a lack of skills in comparison to their academic knowledge. Integration of design and making skills can solve this problem with tools like Fusion 360, which is freely available to schools. Fusion 360 synergizes design and manufacturing, enabling students to bring their creative ideas to fruition. However, a heavy content-based curriculum in graduation limits this integration. Established in 2014 at MNIT Jaipur, Autodesk CAM Society is a student-driven club dedicated to teaching and learning manufacturing technology beyond the scope of the curriculum. Their goal is to enhance design & manufacturing skills at an early stage. In one decade, the Society has helped thousands of graduates not only with placement in core companies but also with startups, patent filing, publishing research papers, and winning student competitions. In this session learn more about the tactics and accomplishments to help graduates to enhance their skills and be more employable.

AEC Digital Innovation: Up for Adoption
This topic was nominated as the focal topic for Autodesk CEO’s investor relations AEC Q1 earnings call on May 28th. The pandemic has accelerated the use of technology in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As we all settle into the “new normal,” there has been significant technological change. We can no longer create the same traditional design teams and expect to deliver on all of the coming infrastructure work. We must rethink how we build our teams to support all of our clients’ needs. As we look to capitalize on immersive collaboration platforms, such as The Wild, we are adding entirely new skill sets and resources to our design teams, including immersive media specialists, digital delivery experts, trainers, and adoption strategists. This is enabling rapid growth to our business and changing the way we deliver our infrastructure projects. As a result, we’re developing novel adoption strategies to ensure long-term success for our clients in this new digital reality.
