In this class, we will explore how to utilize Fabrication Parts in Revit software by taking a Revit project and going through the Design-to-Fabrication workflow. Once this has been reviewed and is complete, we will export a Fabrication file from Revit software into Fabrication ESTmep software. Once inside Fabrication ESTmep software, we will review the contents of the project and make any changes required. Then, utilizing the new Estimating Summary options, we will review pricing and labor and make any adjustments necessary. Once this is complete, we will review our options for sending the .MAJ to Fabrication CAMduct software and Fabrication CADmep software. This session features Revit MEP and Fabrication CADmep.

Have you started seeing Revit files from architects or engineers at bid time? Do the projects that your CAD department is currently working on have access to the Revit files? Even if this is not the case, but you would like to take advantage of the Revit Design to Fabrication Parts, this is the class for you. In this class, we will review your options on how to use the Revit file design items into Fabrication Parts directly inside of Revit. Once we've converted the Revit design items, we'll learn how to export a .MAJ file out of Revit and open it with Fabrication ESTmep software. Once we've opened the file in Fabrication ESTmep, we'll look at options to review pricing and labor along with running reports and data exports.

In this class, we will explore how to utilize Fabrication Parts in Revit software by taking a Revit project and going through the Design-to-Fabrication workflow. Once this has been reviewed and is complete, we will export out a Fabrication software file from Revit software that we will open up in Fabrication ESTmep software. Once inside of Fabrication ESTmep software, we will review the contents of the project and make any changes required. Then we’ll utilize the new estimating summary options to review the pricing and labor, and we’ll make any adjustments necessary. Once this is complete, we will review our options for sending the .MAJ to Fabrication CAMduct software and Fabrication CADmep software. This session features Revit MEP and Fabrication CADmep.

This class covers the use of price lists and pricing services to update pricing within Fabrication ESTmep software. We will show how to use Harrison Pricing Service to update existing price lists, we'll examine the Product Information Editor and ID codes, and we'll look at how pricing information is linked to items in Fabrication ESTmep software. We'll also touch on some effective practices, discuss some limitations and advantages, and show you how to access the Harrison Price list and import it into Fabrication ESTmep software to update pricing.

This is a class in Fabrication ESTmep 2016 software for the beginner. We will explore the software from opening it to producing estimates based on a designer’s PDF background. We will manipulate spreadsheet data and import into the Fabrication ESTmep environment. We will also set up fabrication and labor tables and mapping to service buttons. You will also learn how to create simple material and labor reports based on an imported vector PDF design drawing.

Revit, Revit, and more Revit. Is Revit software all you’re hearing about? Even if that is not the case, you are going to want to attend this class and see what all the hype is about. Does your BIM department have access to the Revit files for the projects they’re working on? Do you have access to the Revit files before bid time? In this class, we will demonstrate some of your options to identify potential design-to-fabrication issues in Revit. We will also look at your options to streamline the conversion pipe accessories in the design-to-fabrication process. Once the conversion from design to fabrication has been done, we will look at running Fabrication reports in Revit. Finally, we will export out a .MAJ file and review it in Fabrication ESTmep software to verify pricing and labor.

In 60 minutes, you'll learn 60 all-new tips and tricks for Fabrication CADmep software, Fabrication ESTmep software, and Fabrication CAMduct software. No frills or long lectures-just a few product veterans in a tag-team-style, rapid-fire demonstration. This session will be fast paced, so we'll have no time for questions, but we'll gladly follow up with all attendees after Autodesk University to address any questions.

This lab will teach fabrication scripting for Fabrication CADmep software, Fabrication ESTmep software, and Fabrication CAMduct software, using *.COD scripts. It assumes no prior knowledge of COD scripting and will walk you though how to create and test scripts to bulk modify properties of Fabrication content.

Fabrication Content if the single most important thing an MEP firm maintains to facilitate preconstruction. To help you manage that content, this session will teach you the basics of Fabrication (COD) scripting for Fabrication CADmep software, Fabrication CAMduct software, and Fabrication ESTmep software. You need no prior knowledge of scripting. We’ll show you how easy it is to create COD scripts, and how to use them to manage your own Fabrication ITM content.

Are you interested in capitalizing on the power of .NET with your Fabrication software data? Awesome! Me too! This class will cover getting started with Fabrication software’s exciting new API. We will cover how to set up plug-ins for each of the various products—Fabrication CADmep software, Fabrication CAMduct software, and Fabrication ESTmep software. Learn how to load them in and execute the code. Also, discover some of what you can and cannot do, and ways to work in scripting and LISP to fill in the gaps where necessary. Knowledge of the Fabrication software products would be helpful, as well as prior knowledge of the Fabrication scripting language. This class will be a continuation of the Fabrication Advanced Scripting Class, but attending that class will not be strictly necessary for this one.

This class will cover all aspects of the ductwork pressure-class specification setting used by Fabrication CAMduct software, Fabrication CADmep software, and Fabrication ESTmep software. We will cover all aspects of how to create and understand the components and related ancillaries linked to shop-fabrication standards as defined in the Fabrication software database setting. Because the database is integrated with estimating and detailing, we will also show which setting in Fabrication CAMduct software will affect the Fabrication ESTmep cost and the Fabrication CADmep graphics. We will also examine effective practices for setting up duct fittings and straight lengths for reinforcement through stiffiners (internal, external, or both) on order to comply with SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association) and DW/144 specifications guidelines. Finally, we will cover the duct connector settings on the round, rectangular, and oval patterns, and we'll discuss the relationships between the duct patterns' dimensions and computer numerical control (CNC) notch profiles as defined in the Fabrication CAMduct software database.

Discuss Revit 2020 (with Fabrication) workflows and custom automation tools, Fabrication ESTmep software, and Fabrication CAMduct software—all with focus on forecasting, procurement (estimating), preconstruction (BIM + spooling), shops and machines (tooling), multitrade fabrication, modular construction, and construction analytics.

In this class, you'll gain insight into how Comfort Systems utilizes Fabrication ESTmep software, Fabrication CADmep software, Fabrication CAMduct software, and Fabrication Parts in Revit to bid jobs, having found success in winning negotiated work with these tools. In today's fast-paced construction schedules, time is of the essence, so getting an accurate takeoff in a timely manner is paramount. Comfort Systems utilizes the Fabrication Suite of Products to ensure this occurs; but, in addition to this, the coordinated model is used to validate the estimate and to set prefabrication goals for the shop and installation goals for the field.
