Description
In this class, we will discuss recent Autodesk Consulting projects with a focus on two new utilities that we are using to help customers. First, we will present the functionality of the COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) Toolkit for Autodesk® Revit® software. COBie is a United States-originated data standard for exchange of building systems information between designers, construction firms, and building owners. The format for delivering construction handover data is a predefined spreadsheet file with specific worksheets, many of which can be populated directly from a Revit intelligent model. The standard has recently been adopted by the United Kingdom and tested on pilot projects using the evolving Revit COBie Toolkit. Next, we will discuss BIM Coordinator. This technology preview, available from Autodesk Labs, assists project team members with building and site grids in Revit and AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software to effectively organize the project data in shared or related coordinates. This utility is essential for spatial collaboration across disciplines.
Key Learnings
- Use the BIM Coordinator tool from Autodesk Labs to improve interoperability between AutoCAD Civil 3D and Revit
- Define specifications for custom add-on tools to extend Autodesk Building Information Modeling (BIM) applications
- Explain details of the COBie standard, including the U.S. version and the more recent U.K. version
- Export COBie .xls(s) files from Revit
Speakers
Miroslav SchonauerMiro has extensive combined engineering and IT background, with a Dipl.Ing. in Civil and Structural Engineering (Split, Croatia 1988), PhD. in Numerical Methods in Engineering (Swansea, Wales, 1993) and 35+ years’ experience in commercial engineering software design, development and customization. His initial involvement with 3D AEC and BIM (before it was even called BIM!) took place between 1995 and 2000 within AceCad Software and its then-market-leading 3D structural steelwork modelling solution StruCAD, where he was leading the integration efforts with various 3rd party 3D structural analysis/design (QSE, Staad III, etc.) and Plant Design (Intergraph, Aveva) software packages through proprietary and neutral/public data formats. He's been with Autodesk since 2000, initially as Developer Consulting Specialist leading the AEC support team (AutoCAD, LDDT, ADT/ACA, MEP, Revit and Civil3D APIs) and currently as Senior Solutions (Software) Architect with Autodesk Consulting. His specialty have always been APIs for all Autodesk® AEC and BIM products, now extended from pure desktop APIs into the full APS cloud platform. He's conducted numerous training sessions, given many conference talks and provided direct technical support on such topics. For the last 18 years, he's been applying combined API, products, industry, software/IT methodologies and process analyses knowledge to architecting and developing consulting solutions that extend the functionality of Autodesk BIM/AEC desktop and cloud products/platform; and integrate them within various generic and /or specific customer workflows, processes and solutions.
