We have been taught how to create models, how models can be appended together to make an entire building including its building services, but how we work together has often been miss interpreted. Do we simply all design in the same environment and say that's collaboration? Or can we go beyond this? In this session, not only do we discuss how you can engage with each other we inspire you to become the facilitator of change. We have taught a number of Owner / Developers how to feel empowered, embrace the change in to virtual design and now facilitate it's use on their next project. True collaboration through BIM's should be directed from the top, expectations set and met. Efficiency driven with the end in mind. With a facilitator driving everyone forward from the beginning of the project - we have structure.

Work sharing is commonly known by Revit users and is critical when it comes to collaborative design. Obviously, with collaboration comes communication. The more dispersed teams are, the more important efficient communication becomes. In this session, we'll discuss how the next-gen Revit work sharing can help teams to understand design changes, no matter where team members are. We'll not only look at how designers update their team members about changes, but also how these changes are communicated to external stakeholders in a controlled way and how we can visualize these design changes in 3D. Finally, we'll explain how you can collect feedback from non-Revit users, and how you can create deliverables using Dynamo software. The core of this process is BIM 360 software, which we'll also briefly discuss.
