Best of AU 2025 - Construction Classes to Watch on Replay 

Autodesk University 2025 was three full days filled with infectious energy and excitement. Keynotes, meetups, sessions, and networking kept everyone engaged, informed, and overall created our best AU yet. 

Even if you were unable to attend AU 2025, you can still check out many of the construction sessions and theater talks, via on-demand streaming which you can access here.  

Top Construction Sessions You Might Have Missed 

We’ve put together a collection of the top most attended sessions you might have missed while in person and may want to access. Check out these on-demand sessions while they’re available. 


Construction Cloud Migration Made Easy 

  • Session Type: Technical Instruction
  • Speaker: Derek Gauer 

Transitioning your AutoCAD/Civil 3D projects to the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform can seem overwhelming, especially for small to mid-sized companies. In this case study, we’ll explore how Crozier Consultant Engineers successfully migrated both new and existing projects to Autodesk Construction Cloud (Autodesk Docs, Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro). For many companies, shifting from a Windows-based file system to Autodesk Docs is a relatively new experience. We'll examine the benefits of working in a cloud environment, and the challenges of moving existing projects to the cloud. Additionally, we'll explore best practices for this transition and the tools that can facilitate the process.


Connected Coordination Level 2: Effective Clash Resolution Using the Power of the ACC Closed Loop Issue Management System 

  • Session Type: Hands-on Lab
  • Speaker: Deepak Maini

For effective clash resolution, it’s essential to notify the design partners about the clashes in a timely manner. It is also imperative to maintain an auditable and trackable record of notifications related to the clash resolution process. In this Connected Coordination Level 2 lab, we’ll build upon where we left off in the 2023 Connected Coordination lab, and learn to use the power of the closed-loop issue management system to assign, notify, resolve, and close clashes on a project. You’ll also learn about the Autodesk Construction Cloud Issues add-in for Revit software that allows design teams to download clash issues directly within Revit to highlight the clashing elements and take action to resolve them. You’ll learn how the closed loop issue management system keeps all the stakeholders notified every step of the way, allowing for an effective clash management system. Finally, you’ll learn how to export reports of all the active clash issues and link them to Power BI for the relevant stakeholders.


Noncoders and Nondevelopers: How to Create and Use Autodesk Platform Services to Access Autodesk Construction Cloud Data 

  • Session Type: Product Demo
  • Speaker: Marcello Sgambelluri 

Have you ever wanted to get into using Autodesk Platform Services to access your Autodesk Construction Cloud data programmatically, but didn’t know where to start? Perhaps you thought it would be too difficult. Well, Autodesk Platform Services is not just for developers! This class will show you how to get started and will start at level zero, assuming you have no code or developer experience. If you want to access, use, and automate your project data, or if you’re just looking for smarter ways to pull data from your cloud models, Autodesk Platform Services can help you do it more efficiently. By the end of the session, you’ll not only understand what Autodesk Platform Services can do, but you’ll also be ready to start creating and using it yourself.


From Reality Capture to Model Coordination: Integrating ReCap Meshes for Enhanced Efficiency in Autodesk Construction Cloud  

  • Session Type: Hands-on Lab
  • Speaker: Shashwat Bhardwaj
  • Co-speaker: Chaitanya Belsare 

In today’s fast-paced construction industry, bridging the gap between real-world conditions and digital-project environments is key to achieving accuracy, minimizing errors, and streamlining project delivery. Reality capture technologies, such as laser scanning, allow teams to document site conditions with precision. However, turning that raw data into actionable models and coordinating them across disciplines can be a challenge without the right tools and workflow. This lab will help you to set up a practical workflow that integrates ReCap Pro 2026, Revit, and the Modeling module in Autodesk Construction Cloud to enable efficient scan-to-BIM and Modeling processes. It will demonstrate how point cloud data can be used not just for modeling, but also for coordination and clash detection, using mesh representations and cloud collaboration.


Streamlining Asset Management in Autodesk Build: Tracking, Managing, and Optimizing Project Assets 

  • Session Type: Technical Instruction
  • Speaker: David Campbell 

Unlock the full potential of the Assets tool in Autodesk Build to streamline how your team tracks, manages, and optimizes construction project assets across the entire lifecycle. This session dives into practical strategies for organizing asset types, customizing fields, and improving visibility and accountability through status tracking, barcoding, and mobile workflows. Whether you're managing equipment, rooms, or closeout deliverables, you'll learn how to configure Autodesk Build to fit your asset management needs. To bring it all together, we’ll wrap up with a hands-on treasure hunt challenge using the Autodesk Build mobile app. Attendees will explore a live project to locate hidden assets placed around the conference—demonstrating just how powerful and fun effective asset management can be.


From ACC Silos to Power BI Insights: Free Your BIM Data Using Autodesk Data Exchange, ACC, and Revit 

  • Session Type: Hands-on Lab
  • Speaker: Michael Sturm
  • Co-speaker: Giuseppe Ardito 

Is critical project information stuck inside your Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) project? Discover how to use the Autodesk Data Exchange process and Revit to bridge the gap and connect your BIM data with data visualisation platforms, such as Microsoft Power BI. This hands-on lab will demonstrate and guide how to easily extract specific and relevant data from your 3D model subsets, rather than entire files, to create interactive visualizations and dashboards. This cloud-based method streamlines data sharing with stakeholders who aren't BIM experts, providing automatic audit trails and enabling better, data-driven decisions across your projects. By the end of this lab, you will be equipped with the skills to implement and connect your Revit data on ACC to Power BI and create powerful and visually impactful reports that can be shared with external stakeholders, elevating your BIM data analysis to a whole new level!


Navigating Change in Construction Projects: A Hands-On Lab 

  • Session Type: Hands-on Lab
  • Speaker: Richard Antczak
  • Co-speaker: Elizabeth Koehler 

Have you ever faced unexpected changes in your project’s requirements after construction has begun? Of course you have. Change is inevitable in the construction industry. Join us for an exciting hands-on session that will illustrate how Autodesk Assistant, Autodesk Build, and Cost Management in Build can drive efficiency and collaboration. Discover how referencing your Autodesk Construction Cloud project’s data can streamline change management and improve project outcomes. In this lively and highly interactive lab, join Autodesk Construction Cloud implementation veterans who will guide participants to explore the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform’s integrated approach to site and cost change management. Why attend? Be guided through a completely connected workflow, handling projects on both desktop and mobile. Engage in dynamic activities designed to simulate real-world construction challenges.


Unlocking the Value of Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk Tandem, and GIS for Infrastructure 

  • Session Type: Technical Instruction
  • Speaker: Diego Gonzalez
  • Co-speaker: Keenan Bruni 

Join us for an engaging session designed specifically for the infrastructure sector. Discover how Autodesk Construction Cloud can improve project management, foster collaboration, and streamline data environments for infrastructure projects, including Power BI, Autodesk Tandem, Autodesk Construction Cloud maps, and Esri. Learn to visualize maps and geographic information system (GIS) data using Power BI and Esri environments to provide actionable insights.
