Better BIM: Do more, faster with AutoCAD MEP

Calling all MEP engineers; HVAC, electrical, and piping designers; BIM managers, and BIM content developers. Are you 1 with your AutoCAD MEP software? Does it respond to your every thought? Are you able to do everything you want to at the speed of light? If you answered no to any of these questions (or even hesitated), this class is for you.

AutoCAD MEP 2015 software leads the way in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design, from drafting to fabrication for excellent workflows. In this class, you’ll jump into Building Information Modeling (BIM) specialist David Butts’ lab to learn incredible tips and tricks for creating custom content. David covers topics ranging from how to create a more detailed model using Inventor software to setting up a new catalog to store your custom content. Speed up and improve your work every step of the way, right away. David delivers expert insight in an easy-to-follow format.

With over 29 years of experience in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) field, David is a bit of a master when it comes to BIM. His product expertise includes Autodesk Revit software, AutoCAD MEP software, AutoCAD Plant 3D software, Autodesk Navisworks project review software, and more. David has presented at AU for over 10 years, and was the AU 2011 top-rated speaker for labs and lectures.
