Showcase software is included in Building Design Suites software but it is not widely used. This session will show you how to migrate your Revit software building models into Showcase software effectively, which enables easy management of the myriad objects in the model. You can use Showcase software to quickly and easily create an interactive presentation to communicate and sell your design. You will learn how to create animated transitions for enhanced visualization and navigation of the model, and you'll discover how you can explore various design options using material and model alternatives. We'll also show how to utilize cross sections and triggers to automate actions inside of Showcase software.

In this hands-on lab, you experience the step-by-step workflow between Revit® and Showcase software. Learn how to quickly and easily transform digital prototypes or architectural designs into compelling imagery, movies, and real-time presentations. This class is an introduction to Showcase. If you have never used this software before or have used it only a few times, this class is for you. We also discuss Importing models from other sources such as Inventor®, AutoCAD® and 3ds Max® Design software.

Become more effective with Showcase software and bring your presentation to the next level. This class covers advanced topics as well as tips and tricks with Showcase. If you are a beginner user, be prepared for a class that is fast paced and created for intermediate to advanced users. Come and learn Showcase directly from the Autodesk technical marketing manager.

Meet at this roundtable session for open discussions about workflows, advanced materials, and lighting inside Showcase software.

This class will provide tips, tricks, and best practices for using Autodesk Showcase software in the context of an architectural project. AutoCAD® or Autodesk® Revit® users who want to explore a project with their peers or present it to their customers will find this class very interesting.

This class shows you how to use the new PSD output feature in Showcase 2014 software to go into a post-production workflow to enhance the final look of a visualization. Also, it takes you through the use of layers, blend modes, and filters inside Adobe® Photoshop® to add depth and photographic phenomena to a rendering. These concepts are not particular to Photoshop, so they can be applied to other software. Post-production work lets users manipulate a final rendering in real-time, enabling them to deliver better renderings in less time.

Microdesk Co-Innovation Lab collaborated with BamCore through the Autodesk Foundation to show the value and benefits of their products to clients within the industry. Utilizing the Autodesk-provided design analysis ecosystem, we showcase the energy and carbon advantages BamCore’s products can bring to the design. The developed custom workflow allows BamCore to rapidly obtain comparative energy and carbon impacts and present them to their clients without future support. We also set up the groundwork and created a phased journey to navigate the Future of Work, aiming to include an interactive UI dashboard for rapid ROI analysis. We compare BamCore technology vs. typical constructions to ensure Microdesk and BamCore co-create meaningful and inspirational future impacts toward resilient and low-carbon buildings.

A fully optimized computer case was designed, validated, and manufactured using Fusion 360 integrated workflows. The enclosure serves to showcase various Fusion 360 technologies including Electronics Cooling Simulation, Generative Design, Generative Fluid Design, Additive Manufacturing, and Netfabb integration. Join us and learn how each one of these connected workflows contributes to the overall design and performance of the workstation. Our journey begins with the basic design and layout of the workstation and attempts to address common industry shortfalls. Advanced Fusion 360 technologies enable us to investigate novel designs for the internal case structure and flow-optimized ductwork, and then validate them with powerful, accessible simulation tools.

Learn how to transform your architectural designs or digital prototypes into immersive presentations for effective design reviews or convincing sales presentations. This class will cover tips and tricks to help you add realism, creativity, and dynamism to your presentations.

This class is all about how to get your Inventor data into 3ds Max software. Come and learn how to render high-quality images for marketing and sales activities.

Get your hands on an amazing new computer aided manufacturing (CAM) solution from Autodesk. Learn how you can use this new milling CAM solution for your 2-1/2 axis (2.5D) machining projects.

With the advent of machine learning and advances of technology adoption in the construction industry, the bar is moving higher for general contractors; as a general contractor, you must make sure you stay abreast of recent advances and are well positioned to capitalize on data for managing risk. In this class, using a case study, we will go over the following: how the next-generation BIM 360 platform is designed to create a single source of truth for the lifecycle of projects and a storage for all data in one place where a general contractor can use different solutions in a connected manner; and how Autodesk is going to take it a step further and by Project IQ, make the platform the source of intelligence through the project.Regional quality director from Swinerton, Project manager from Layton, and Technical Deployment Specialist from Bam will then talk from their perspectives about their experience on adoption of BIM 360 to capitalize on data to manage risk and make decisions, and how they feel the platform is transforming their day-to-day job and productivity.

Fiat is one of the top car manufacturers in the world and is using the power of simulation extensively in their product development. In this class, we will show how simulation technology can be used to validate design and quantify defects that can show up during manufacturing and final assembly. We will visualize production defects in plastic parts using Autodesk® Moldflow® and Autodesk Showcase®.

In this class, you learn how to use Autodesk® Product Design Suite to transform Inventor software models into intelligent models in Revit-based software for Building Information Modeling (BIM). We focus on simplifying the Inventor model, removing intellectual property, adding necessary connectors and metadata, and finally, importing the model into Revit. We also describe how to add value to your simplified BIM models by creating compelling visualization materials with Showcase® visualization software.

Closing session where we showcase what we are planning for the future.

In this class, we will showcase a project that uses the new InfraWorks Connecter for ArcGIS.

In the early days of CAD, we made 2D creations of designs. Then came the era of creating models in 3D. Now, the next phase is connected BIM (Building Information Modeling). This era is about building applications and solutions that connect a community of people to a project or product, and to the new means of production. In this era, you can optimize a design not only for how it functions, but for how it is built and interconnects with other systems, as well as in the cloud. This class will showcase how users can utilize the power of the cloud using Revit software and BIM 360 software. It will also showcase how the users can customize the information present in BIM 360 using Forge and how they can make their own customized apps.

There are presently factions of diversity across the construction industry and representing them in media is one way of signaling to additional diverse talent that there is a place for them in the industry. But today, if you scroll through a construction-related content feed, you’re still likely to see and hear from people who look a lot alike. How can we change that? What types of content can be highlighted to accurately showcase more inclusivity? What sorts of initiatives can the media industry adopt? A diverse panel of representatives from the media and construction industries will review what some of the challenges to showcasing diversity in media thus far have been, and how we can address them to be more inclusive. The goal is for the discussion to spark ideas on new topics for coverage and presenting content with inclusion in mind, so we can attract more diversity to the construction industry.

This class showcases a new Autodesk® product in the reality capture portfolio. We demonstrate an all-in-one solution—from capture to high-quality model.

In this opening keynote session, we will showcase actual projects that use Autodesk, Inc.’s, Fabrication Solutions to detail better, fabricate better, and build better.
