This session will delve into the exciting integration of InfoDrainage software with Civil 3D, a development with the potential to revolutionize drainage design in civil engineering. With its advanced features and capabilities for both traditional and green infrastructure, InfoDrainage aligns perfectly with the versatile functionalities of Civil 3D, paving the way for more-streamlined, efficient, and environmentally sustainable design workflows. We will explore the unique features of InfoDrainage, how they can be integrated with Civil 3D, and the benefits of this integration in improving the accuracy and speed of drainage designs. We'll provide practical insights into the integration process, giving you a clear understanding of how to use these tools effectively in your projects.

Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) workflows require everything placed or drawn to have magical Xdata attached which contains pay item number(s) and compute methods (formulas). This session will demonstrate the applications within our FDOT Civil 3D 2026 State Kit that facilitate how to seamlessly design and run automated summary reports to obtain an accurate accounting of our State infrastructure projects. The applications we will demonstrate will include Entity Manager, FDOT Signs, Pavement Marking tool, Place Block Group, and FDOT Takeoff Manager.

This class will showcase a connected data workflow used to deliver large water and sewer infrastructure projects from design to commissioning. This is accomplished with a systematic use of Civil 3D software and ArcGIS integration, asset data governance, and Industry Foundation classes (IFC) for digital-twin commissioning. The sewer and water designs are first developed in Civil 3D. Dynamo and Python are used to attach a class library as property set data and generate a spreadsheet model database. The spreadsheet is linked to an Esri geodatabase through geoprocessing and Python. This geodatabase is updated with field-collected attribute data and as-built data via Esri Field Maps. The computational process is reversed to update the spreadsheet and subsequently the Civil 3D model. The model is delivered as-built, and an IFC version containing the asset data is exported for the owner's digital-twin ecosystem.

In an era where speed, quality, and innovation define success, using AI in design and construction workflows is no longer optional—it's essential. This session, Design to Delivery—Faster with the Right AI, shows how tools like Chaos’ Enscape, Veras and Glyph work in concert with Autodesk Revit and Forma to accelerate ideation, visualization, and construction documentation. Drawing from industry wide findings about where early adopters see the biggest benefits from AI, attendees will learn the best AI applications from the first interview, through design, and into construction documentation. The speakers know not all AI is equal, and will show the audience how to evaluate AI tools through the lens of quality, security, and intellectual property protection. By the end of this class you'll be able to use the right AI capability, at the right time, to boost creativity, improve quality, and shorten project timelines.
