In this class you will explore how the use of BIM throughout design and construction impacted the development of 2 different yet very similar proton facilities. With a unique opportunity of a consistent team but different workflows, you will experience the power that BIM presents when applied as not just an authoring tool, but also as a pathway for collaboration.

Collaboration with customers and partners is increasingly critical for many businesses. Engineering teams need to collect feedback from customers early in the development cycle and work with partners to outsource manufacturing or other processes. In this class, we'll look at how you can rely on Vault data management software to manage your engineering data and processes together with the cloud for collaboration with outside customers and partners.

This lecture will illustrate how a private cloud reverses the traditional collaboration models by bringing people to the data. Learn how elegantly the private cloud solves collaboration issues while respecting Revit software's work-share schema without synchronization or caching voodoo. Both internal and external team members are able to work side by side virtually and in real time—remotely, from anywhere—on any device, all accessing a single set of project data. We will share successes and expose challenges of a private-cloud implementation. Key talking points will be software, hardware, licensing, workflows, and administration of virtual desktops, as well as other challenges with training and performance tuning.

Have you made the move to cloud-based Revit collaboration with BIM 360 Design software? Not yet? This class is for you! We’ll take a look at the needs served by this cloud-hosted software, discuss the value that it brings to the table, and then dive into a live project. We’ll start in Revit software‚ send our design data to BIM 360 software, and then move over to BIM 360 to receive that data. We’ll explore the Design Collaboration module, where design teams can create, share, manage, and consume work packages with each other. Finally, we’ll visit the Document Management module, where all project stakeholders have a role to play in model viewing, sharing, markups, issue creation and tracking, and more. In this fast-paced course, you should have the knowledge needed to make the decision to adopt BIM 360 Design and extend BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflows within your own firm.

Brown University School of Engineering is a true IPD (integrated project delivery) project in the United States. BuroHappold Engineering and KieranTimberlake, along with Shawmut Design and Construction and their trade partners, created a plan that would involve complete live collaboration between all parties utilizing Collaboration for Revit cloud service. This involved all parties working in a live model environment while developing their design. Trade partners would be simultaneously coordinating all building systems in preparation for construction. Developing a seamless transition from design to construction model was an opportunity. The team was able to design in Revit software while creating content that was ready for fabrication. The process continued through construction using BIM 360 Glue software for final conflict resolution and then onto BIM Field 360 software, ensuring coordinated installation of all services. You will learn best practices and optimum setup enabling smooth movement of data from team to team and platform to platform for all project scales.

Cloud-based Revit software and AutoCAD software collaboration can mean many things to many people. For some people it means running these applications completely in the cloud. For others, it means running the applications in offices and using the cloud to share the files. Then there’s the ability to have both of these models together. This session will show how users running Revit software or AutoCAD software in the cloud can collaborate on the same Revit models or CAD files at the same time with users in the office. Users in both locations have the same fast performance with sync with central, element borrowing, and Worksharing Monitor with no change in workflow. This session will show a demonstration of users in an office environment collaborating with users in a partner office environment where the applications are running in the cloud.

This class will explain a subset of capabilities that Autodesk cloud services offer to enable collaboration in civil infrastructure projects.

This class will cover using Autodesk, Inc.’s, cloud-based applications to encourage trade partner collaboration on construction projects. We will cover using BIM 360 Glue software for designer coordination and collaboration, as well as trade partners. We will demonstrate generating equipment sets in BIM 360 Glue software to be shared to BIM 360 Field software. The geometry for these equipment sets is 3D text in the Revit software file; these equipment sets are then mapped in BIM 360 Field software to room numbers, bar codes are assigned to the room numbers, and printed bar codes are adhered to the doorframes in the field. This enables our trade partners to simply scan the bar code, which then takes them to the room location. They can then utilize the “show model” tab to quickly get to the same spot in the model. We will also demonstrate how you can use the equipment set in the quality process and the punch-list process through the use of checklists, issues, attachments, and tasks.

This class overviews basic setups, installation, and use of A360 Collaboration for Revit cloud service, and will examine how it has been used, advantages and disadvantages, things to consider for remote access and telecommuting, and how to push content to A360 cloud-based collaboration service.

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.
