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.

As BIM adoption expands globally, we will see more firms start to work together with distributed team across geographies. This trend is driving teams to search for new ways to collaborate more effectively.

The BIM 360 Design product provides access to the Design Collaboration and Document Management modules within the BIM 360 platform. In addition, access (entitlements) are provided for Revit Cloud Worksharing and Collaboration for Civil 3D software. With these entitlements, it is possible to achieve true collaboration between all members of the project team. Two experts will discuss and demonstrate the workflow for such cloud-based collaboration using Revit software and Civil 3D software. We’ll examine the similarities and differences and offer some best practices advice. The session will wrap up with a demonstration of sharing data between Revit and Civil 3D using BIM 360 software.

We've all heard gloomy statistics about the challenge of finding skilled talent in today's market—and civil design and construction are no exception. Couple this with the trending demand for 3–7D model deliverables and ISO compliance that more clients are requiring, and it's no surprise that many firms are asking, "Can we do more with less, sustainably?" To that end, most know of Dynamo and its incredible potential to automate repetitive tasks, saving valuable time and money. And some have at least heard of the relative newcomer, the Standardized Data Tool for Civil 3D software, and its ability to aggregate, manipulate, and analyze project data from multiple drawings through a single spreadsheet. Now it's time to combine these powerful tools in the context of design workflows. In this session, we'll demonstrate three examples of how well these tools complement each other, highlighting the latest Dynamo nodes along the way. By the end, you'll be inspired to start thinking of how you can use both tools at your firm.

Finding it tough to uncover the elements you want to see in Revit software? So much time is spent finding elements in your views that it can affect your ability to get work done. Through examples of common visibility problems, we can uncover the typical problems in a given view. This course will take you through the Revit Graphics hierarchy to explain the ways you can find and uncover elements throughout your model in a systematic way. Learn ways to uncover visibility issues in your model and change the behavior of the model editors and consultants for best-practice results. Understand how work sets, filters, line styles, view templates, links, and computer hardware like graphics cards can all make a difference in adjusting your model appearance. You will walk away from this course with the knowledge of how to adjust your views to see what you want with the minimal amount of troubleshooting required to save time, effort, and sanity.

This case study session will explore the benefits of using Autodesk Takeoff software to use quantification data as a design tool throughout the building design process. As architects, we often overlook the importance of quantification and cost during the early phases of design, typically generating an unwelcome dose of reality downstream, leading to rework and intensive design changes. What if we could predict with greater fidelity and confidence the cost of our design in near real time, as we're designing and progressing Revit models. This was exactly our goal with implementing Takeoff. Reviewing case study projects, we'll demonstrate how we were able to bridge the gap between design intent and project budgets—thus, allowing 3D quantification through Takeoff to guide decision making during design, promote model quality throughout production, and rally project stakeholders around the same data within a collaborative Autodesk Construction Cloud environment.

Through real-world examples, we'll demonstrate the steps and outcomes of adopting Autodesk's comprehensive data ecosystem, highlighting the seamless flow of information and its impact on project success.

Increasing need for data and AI is creating unprecedented demand for data-center capacity, while social and regulatory pressure demands reduced energy and water consumption. Serial hyperscale, co- location, and "edge" clients are driving innovation in design and industrialization, using digital libraries of configurable, scalable solutions for repeatable, standardized designs that can be amended to suit local codes and site constraints. Benefits include that solutions capture and optimize for a wide range of stakeholder needs. In addition, creating rules-based relationships allows design automation, and site-specific designs are created in hours. The approach facilitates supply chain input—using standard products reduces lead times and alleviates pressure on suppliers. Individual elements can be refined "offline" and reintroduced when ready—critical for bringing in new technology for cooling and decarbonization without total redesign. Automotive does this well, leading to continual improvement, not constant reinvention.

Utilities, retailers, hospital operators, towercos, and other companies may need to digitalize large portfolios with thousands of existing facilities to complete their digital journeys—either to fully benefit from building information modeling (BIM) in design and construction or as a first step for the creation of their digital twins. Those same companies typically have an inventory database that is either incorrect or incomplete, but that has value nonetheless, since it may be used to connect said assets with other enterprise solutions, including maintenance and operations management. In this technical instruction session, we will present a workflow for the end-to-end digitalization of a portfolio of facilities using a component-based approach. This workflow starts with any existing inventory, uses it in Autodesk Construction Cloud Assets and Forms to capture on-site data, then switches to Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro software and Autodesk Docs software for the intelligent modeling of the facilities, and then again moves back to the Assets functionality for audit and validation.
