Description

The data-rich attribution required for Building Information Modeling (BIM)-ready models often requires some level of customization so out-of-the-box objects can provide more value and represent level of development (LOD) stages throughout the project lifecycle. In this lab, we will progress through 4 distinct methods of creating custom attribution. We will start with block entities with attribution. Next, we will create custom properties via the Property Set utility. In method 3, we will turn geometry into a feature class and add custom data. And finally, we will use the tools in the Infrastructure Administrator to create an even more powerful geometry/data combination that will streamline some of the workflows that we just learned! In all of these examples, we will create, extract, and demonstrate data input/output flow for each method. As a final treat, we will jump into InfraWorks 360 software and learn the secret to making a custom feature class—now you don’t have to always put your wind-turbine models in the City Furniture type class! This session features AutoCAD Civil 3D and Infrastructure Administrator. AIA Approved

Key Learnings

  • Learn how blocks with attributes can automatically create and link to external databases
  • Learn the power of Property Set Manager which creates extended data that can apply to AutoCAD Civil 3D objects
  • Learn how to make a feature class and create a custom data schema
  • Learn what the Autodesk Infrastructure Administrator does—it’s amazing

Speaker

  • Lucy Kuhns
    Lucy Kuhns has experience that spans the practices of engineering, architecture, and construction. She began as a mechanical engineer designing and testing helicopters for Hughes Aircraft Company; off-road vehicles for Honda Motor Company, Ltd.; and bi-modal rail equipment for a small startup company. After an off-road vehicle test crash in the California desert, she began exploring and studying civil engineering and architecture. She later moved to New Mexico where she joined a civil engineering/surveying firm and led the company through the early and often painful process of implementing advanced technologies. She states, 'We worked smarter with fewer people and spent a fortune on new technology, and we competed with the big guys—and often won!' It was a natural progression for her to move into software applications engineering, training, and support in early 2001. She now works with the Autodesk, Inc., team of product support specialists offering Enterprise Support Solutions for the infrastructure industry.
