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 module in Construction Cloud to enable efficient scan-to-BIM and 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.

Renovation projects are on the rise, with digital methods like reality capture, model-based collaboration, and Digital Workplaces proving essential. AFRY Switzerland's “AFRY Bellinzona regional hub” is a prime example. Located in a historic Swiss town of Bellinzona, the 2,000 m² space was transformed from an unused commercial site into flexible, modern offices. Autodesk tools were used throughout: Recap for reality capture, Revit for model authoring, ACC for clash detection and coordination, AR visualisation, site reporting, and a Digital Workplace prototype with Tandem. was a top priority—repurposing the existing space helped meet initial goals, with recycled materials and 90% reused furniture from previous offices.

This session will explain the latest volcanic episodes in Iceland—a constant threat to nearby town and infrastructure in the Reykjanes Peninsula. In November 2023, the 4,000-person town of Grindavík was evacuated. Working in close cooperation with the Civil Protection of Iceland, Verkís designed and managed the construction of lava diversion barriers to protect the 225 MW geothermal power plants at Svartsengi, the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, and Grindavík. HEC-RAS was used to model lava flows using the latest topographical drone mapping of the surface and fresh lava. The barriers were designed and modeled in Civil 3D software, and Autodesk Construction Cloud was used to communicate design and stakeout data to multiple contractors. This study will show how the barrier design was optimized during the volcanic eruption by comparing theoretical models against actual lava flow behavior. Now 11 km of massive lava barriers have been built, which worked successfully against the lava flow and saved the town of Grindavík.

This session will look at how Boustead Projects implements processes for monitoring and tracking prefabricated elements. It involves overseeing design approval before fabrication, as well as the real-time tracking of asset location and status with the use of QR codes. This real-time tracking facilitates the generation of accurate status reports for project stakeholders. For mechanical and electrical equipment required for testing and commissioning (T&C), each named asset is tagged with its T&C status, which is then documented in the intelligent model data. This data includes parameter values like equipment site label, site location, and system description, which are used for the respective unit on-site. Internally, Boustead Projects uses Assets to track the lidar scanning statuses based on rooms per level, keeping management informed about the progress of lidar scanning activities.

You've been using AutoCAD software to produce your drawings for some time, and you have a huge library of details. Now that you're moving to Revit software, what happens to all these details? You don't want to just trash them, and you don't want to recreate them in Revit. In this class, we'll look at the next step in your transition to Revit. We'll see how you can still use those details right in your Revit projects straight from AutoCAD. We'll explore how we can bring those existing details into Revit and have them be referenced correctly in our projects as if they were created there. We'll even look (when you have time) at how to Revit-ize your AutoCAD details to start building a true Revit detail library. So, if not being able to use your details is holding you back from switching to Revit—or you're just not sure how to do it—don't let that stop you. You don't have to throw them out—they're still good.

Over the last few years, as we build toward a more resilient future, there's been a tremendous increase in the demand for renewable power, ports of entry, infrastructure, logistics facilities, and manufacturing. However, as the projects have grown in scope, so has the owners' need to receive a higher standard of work from architects, engineers, and builders. This session will address the importance of data governance in mission-critical projects and how it can lead to successful project delivery. We'll understand what owners expect for delivery from traditional and innovative formats like digital docs and signed-off model content. We'll also discover what it takes to meet delivery expectations when the owner specifies a deliverable but doesn't necessarily know the exact outcome. If you want to know what it takes to deliver successfully with lessons learned in the trenches, then join this session!

How can existing 2D data be reused, verified against the reality, and combined with 3D data in a holistic factory design or integration? With Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk offers the possibility to realize this not just for buildings and infrastructure models, but also for new and existing factories, whereby the integration of machines and equipment as well as the use of reality data (point clouds) plays an important role. The objective is to increase the quality of plannings and integrations to a very high level to reduce or completely avoid unforeseen costs, delays or planning errors.

Have you ever been tasked with creating a 3D model of real-life buildings? Did you find the experience long and frustrating due to the difficulty of taking proper photos using a handheld camera? Technology has advanced to the point that we can use high-quality and relatively inexpensive drones to create 3D models of real-life buildings. These models can then serve as a source to create a low-poly counterpart, including textures. See how to use this time- and money-saving workflow through the use of drone photogrammetry, ReCap Photo software, and 3ds Max software.

This session will share details of a project called the VRED Session Management Service (VRED SMS). A prototype built by solutions engineers working together from Autodesk and Amazon Web Services (AWS), VRED SMS demonstrates how VRED 3D visualization software from Autodesk can be deployed and scaled on AWS in an on-demand way. VRED SMS allows applications that can interface a REST API to request a VRED collaboration session. Automated workflows execute to prepare the requisite instances and VRED configuration for a requested VRED scene file. This solution comprises a variety of AWS services, including but not limited to EC2 Image Builder, AWS Step Functions, AWS Systems Manager, AWS Secrets Manager, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon API Gateway. It is also deployed using AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK). To automate the configuration of Autodesk's VRED software, this solution uses its Python and web APIs. The programmatic and workflow-driven nature of the solution makes it relatively simple to customize.

This case study will explore the first-ever commercial drone operations permitted within the rim of the Grand Canyon, and how the imagery captured was used to inform a critical water infrastructure project. Grand Canyon National Park, in Northern Arizona, is considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world. It encompasses an impressive 278 miles of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands and averages more than 10 miles wide. To support work to modernize the Grand Canyon Water System—which serves thousands of residents and millions of annual visitors—we used drones, surveying, and LiDAR technology to acquire high-resolution orthomosaic images and point clouds. In this digital transformation success story, we also employed Autodesk tools such as AutoCAD Civil, ReCap, Revit, and other Autodesk products.

Challenging the deconstruction and decontamination of a former industrial site: the refinery of Dunkerque in France. From a huge data sets of 30 000 old plans and a dynamic scan of a 90Ha area, the low LOD Revit models were made manually but also automatically using IA with image recognition. The representations of the contamination and lithology is modelled with voxels and informed using interpolation scripts with Dynamo directly from georeferenced boreholes stored in excel datasheets. The aim of this BIM model is to create scenariis of depollution depending of what is located underground : pipes, concrete and pollutants.

Ever wish you could visualize real-world data without leaving the comfort of your own office? Sound too wonderful to be true? Well, it isn't. Sending crews into the field to measure and collect information about assets is time consuming and costly. But when you have street-level spherical imagery and colorized LIDAR (light detection and ranging) data at hand, you have the freedom to quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively create photorealistic 3D models for planning, design, emergency and disaster management, regulatory compliance, and asset management. We'll explore the collection process and business implications for street-level reality capture and examine 2 alternatives, such as Google Street View and CycloMedia. We'll also discuss practical workflows for municipal governments using this data, including design and visualization, with a focus on water asset management and pavement surface markings. Finally, we'll describe how to effectively integrate these data sources with AutoCAD Civil 3D software and InfraWorks software.
