Description
Exchanging project data between applications is a favorite problem in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC): Offices need to manage the risk involved in undersharing and oversharing. Collaborators need to understand if they're working on the same version of a project. And data formats must be compatible. While desktop software systems are the powerhouses driving design and engineering workflows, teams need to communicate beyond their desks, often through distributed cloud interfaces that change rapidly. The software development teams for Revit software, Autodesk Forma, and Autodesk Docs have created multiple ways to address interoperability problems, and have had hundreds of hours of conversations with project clients and AEC professionals about what does and doesn't work. The most-promising methods include rapidly evolving cloud applications that change and improve constantly. This class will summarize these findings, identify the most-recent tools available to solve interoperability challenges, and look down the road to emerging methods for teams to share data.
Key Learnings
- Discover data exchange methods that multiple offices have found successful (and not so successful).
- Discover the very latest Revit and Autodesk Forma interop tools deployed (maybe even from the night before).
- Learn about the plans for where Revit, Autodesk Forma, and other application interops are going next.
