The class will be a lecture on the EQ house, the actually built architecture that AI and IoT deployed. It was completed in March of 2019. Installed with advanced IoT technology and AI, EQ House is expected to be attached by the owner as if it were life-like architecture. It is installed with varied sensors to perceive environmental status and accumulates data about the owner’s preference by means of “like” buttons from the smart watch. The experimental design, inspection, and fabrication process was also needed to actually realize the futuristic architecture of the EQ House. By using the optimization process, the design period to determine the pattern of the facade decreased by 60% and through the inspection using BIM 360 Docs software and mixed reality decreased 20%, and the fabrication by 25%.

This class will provide an overview of BIM implementation on one of the world's largest projects, the Panama Canal Third Set of Locks project which includes two massive lock facilities - one on the Atlantic side and another on the Pacific - each with three chambers and complex mechanical and electrical systems for locking Neo-Panamax vessels.BIM technology was used to manage the design and construction of this complex project.What if we started the Panama Canal Expansion today, with the dramatic advances in BIM that have occurred in only the last few years? With InfraWorks - which was not available during the planning phase - we can propose site design and road layout with GIS information. With Revit Parts - which was not available during the design phase - we can slice a model easily with sketch lines to produce the lift models for the concrete pouring sequence.With BIM 360 cloud services - also newly available - we can work better across regions and continents for design collaboration.Integrating these BIM tools with Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technologies, we can now better visualize our design during the construction process. This presentation will present a "what if" scenario, to study how the design of this mega-project would proceed today, and to propose a new design template for the future.

With the restricted supply of urban land and its increasing cost, developers are using land for subdivisions that was once considered unsuitable, leading to smaller, more complex projects on restricted footprints. In this class, we will look at numerous case studies of grading small lots that involve the use of AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software (since Release 2007) and grading, corridor, and pipe objects. We will review one person's workflow for getting the job done when Civil 3D is pushed to the extreme.

This class will show you how to use your very own CAD tools and practices to create written and video tutorials covering those tricks-from everyday basics to those needed once every 6 months. You will learn how to post publicly and privately to the A360 cloud-based collaboration service, and how to share with others.

As we move away from the familiar 2D world of AutoCAD software into 3D Revit Structure software, the focus shifts toward training and skill development. This results in a new way of working that demands structured workflows, taking data from the model into fabrication information. Design Solutions require quick turnarounds with continual change management, and this is an area where Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools technology can deliver value. We will review how workflows that are used by temporary works offices improve the efficiency of reinforcement detailing and scheduling and increase the productivity of bolted and welded joint steel fabrications. We will also examine Solutions using the Revit complementary software systems, SOFiSTiK Reinforcement Detailing and Advance Steel software.

This class will explore the utilization of Autodesk, Inc., products in the development of early phase energy models that help guide the Design Team in the development of sustainable and cost-effective Building Solutions. We will cover the use of Vasari software as an early tool for conceptual level analysis and how we can effectively hand off this geometry to more detailed modeling engines for additional analysis. We will also explore Revit software as a tool for developing complex building geometries for energy analysis that maintain the flexibility to be rapidly updated as building design advances. These strategies also compliment Autodesk cloud-computing services, including the Autodesk 360 cloud-computing platform for data storage, as well as options for rendering and daylighting in the cloud for additional analysis and development of presentation materials.

You have the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection with various tools which create a ton of data on a daily basis. Working with a team, you need a central location to collaborate on designs, share the data throughout your organization and with third parties. During this class, we discuss how Autodesk Vault at the center of your workflow can help improve work efficiency between design engineers, the ability to share data globally and with stakeholders outside of your company.

As a general contractor, quality control of building layout and verification is necessary to minimize the risk of rework and additional costs or schedule delays. When establishing site control to implement the use of total stations, the team will need to work through a number of challenges and prerequisites. General contractors will need to understand the risk of taking or not taking this responsibility or transferring the risk to third-party quality assurance / quality control teams. Buy-in from the project team and enforcing trades to work on the same controls across a site is important to consistency in layout and verifications. This class will highlight all the prerequisites and challenges that general contractors might typically face when implementing this process, and we’ll document a generic workflow for efficient implementation and best practices. This class will also cover a generic workflow of managing layout using the BIM 360 Layout app, Point Layout software from Revit software, Navisworks software, or AutoCAD DWG™ technology. This session features BIM 360 Layout, BIM 360 Glue, and Point Layout. AIA Approved

This session talks about Autodesk's collaboration with the oldest privately-owned car manufacturer, Morgan Motor Company, for the 84th Geneva International Motor Show. Morgan was looking for a way to showcase the extreme personalization they offer for the Morgan 3 Wheeler, and Autodesk was able to provide a 3D configurator based on Autodesk VRED to allow visiting customers to configure their dream car on Morgan's stand at the show. Morgan's configurator was the only one at the show with the ability to render high quality images in realtime based on a true 3D model, rather than relying on pre-rendered views of a finite set of configuration options. Members of the team involved in the project will talk about its inception, development and delivery, describing the unique value this technology solution provides to automotive manufacturers. The configurator will be available live for members of the audience to try out.
