A good model is important in a BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflow. Equally important is generating a good set of construction documents, complete with detail drawings. After mastering basic modeling in Revit software, many users hit the wall and struggle with this vital aspect of project delivery. This class will teach you how to bridge the gap between modeling and detailing, taking full advantage of the 3D model and adding 2D embellishments combined with display modification to create your construction details. This session features Revit Architecture software.

Getting the latest information from the office to the field has always been a challenge for the construction industry. A number of construction projects have lost money due to lacking the latest information and construction documents available to the field executives. However, this has all changed with Document Management, the new avatar of BIM 360 Docs software. It gets the latest and most-correct information from the office to the field executives without any delay. With BIM 360 Docs, the field consultants can even view the documents offline. This class explains in detail how this process is performed and maintained throughout the construction process. We will be showcasing the latest project in Sydney, where BIM 360 Docs is being used to provide the latest construction documents to the field executives.

Establishment of an effective document management system for a construction project is a critical component to project success. An effective system will successfully bridge the gap between design and construction by digitizing the document management process. Attendees of this class will see how DPR Construction used BIM 360 Document Management to host construction-related documentation and integrate it into the virtual design and construction (VDC) process. The class will go through the initial scoping development, project setup and administration, and end-user experience.

Hear how JE Dunn Construction teamed with Autodesk Consulting utilizing Forge platform-based APIs to develop integration between JE Dunn’s SharePoint-based Dunn Dashboard and BIM 360 Document Management. Learn how the document sync integration has enabled construction documents to be easily accessible to the construction professionals at the jobsite and maintained JE Dunn’s Dunn Dashboard as the single source of truth for all project documents. This BIM 360 Document Management-based integration is built on top of the project automation that was developed for JE Dunn ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and further has enabled the extension of the firm’s construction-based data and document flows into the construction ecosystem.

Working on campus projects, strip malls, or any type of multi-building project inevitably brings up the discussion of how to manage the details. Often a major driving factor in choosing how to manage the details depends on whether all of the buildings will be included in one set of construction documents or if each building will be a separate set of documents. Based on the project and which of the 2 previously mentioned approaches is selected, there are a number of strategies that can be implemented within Revit-based software to help streamline the construction document process. This class covers a few scenarios of multi-building projects and discusses which approach to detail management may be the most appropriate. In addition, the class reveals and discusses the pros and cons to each approach so that you will be able to apply the most appropriate strategy to your own multi-building projects.

The construction industry worldwide loses hundreds of millions of dollars because of the rework caused by the lack of the latest information and construction documents available at the right time to the field executives. However, this changed with BIM 360 Docs software, which enables the flow of the latest accurate information from the office to the field executives without any delay. With BIM 360 Docs, the field executives can even view the documents offline. This class explains in detail how this process is performed and maintained throughout the construction process. We will be showcasing a project in Australia where BIM 360 Docs is helping users provide the latest construction documents to the field executives.

The traditional approach calls for engineers to produce both plan view and riser diagrams for plumbing work. This method calls for duplicated information. This is both wasteful and error prone. To achieve a connected BIM (Building Information Modeling) project, we need a way to connect the plan views to the riser diagrams. This can be accomplished using 3D riser diagrams. This demo will cover how to use Revit tools to produce 3D riser diagrams. We will discuss all the benefits to using 3D risers and how to get your project managers on board with using them for construction documents. We will provide examples of how to create, annotate, and manipulate 3D risers to plot clearly and accurately. We will also touch on the typical issues and how to fix or prevent those issues from happening.

Based on the project and which of these 2 approaches is selected, there are a number of strategies that can be implemented within Revit software to help streamline the construction document process. This class will dive into creating a single project file that only contains typical details, and how to link that file into all pertinent building models so that they all update seamlessly. This process isn't well known, but it can keep the liability aspect of a project to a minimum.

Nearly all design firms today produce intelligent models created by building information modeling (BIM), yet the rich data these models hold is often underused or merely labeled for "informational purposes." This session will dive into the transformative potential of fully integrating intelligent models into the contractual framework. We will examine the advantages of intelligent-model dissemination and envision a future where intelligent models are standard contract documents. To demonstrate this idea, we will present a case study from a $1 billion laboratory project at a local university, where intelligent models were successfully incorporated into the contract documents.

After 25 years of managing drawings electronically, Public Service Company of New Mexico, Inc., (PNM) decided to use Vault data management software to automate its drawing tracking process. This lecture will first review past drawing tracking processes. Then we'll cover how PNM now uses Vault software to track drawings; track construction documents with contractors/vendors for station design projects; and track transmission and distribution design projects. In particular, the session will explore how the various configuration capabilities (such as categories and lifecycle states) can be used to tailor Vault software to meet specific utility requirements. We will also allot time for questions and answers regarding ideas and options for Vault software uses.
