Discover how to start with a pencil sketch or AutoCAD drawing, develop a massing model using FormIt, and then move that model to Revit software to finalize the design and develop construction documents. We’ll also discuss other tools you can then use to create renderings and animations, and even move your model into virtual reality (VR) using Revit Live.

In today’s competitive landscape it can be hard to find the time or the budget to keep up with the current technology. But what if there were inexpensive tools that were easy to use and could solve your problems with project communication and design? This session will look at the tools that are available to the small firm, as well as at the workflows that can streamline and take advantage of those tools. We will focus on how we can take advantage of these tools to be more competitive, provide additional services for new revenue streams, and pull currently outsourced workflows back in-house. With tools and services at your disposal like Revit LT software, Autodesk 360 cloud-computing platform, and 123D software, you really can do things that were only possible before with the budget of a larger firm.

Whether your company has a rich history with Revit software or you've recently decided to take the plunge, developing and maintaining internal training is a tall order. BuroHappold Engineering New York has developed a thorough yet practical internal training program for its offices worldwide and would like to share the outcome of the challenges that were faced along the way. With 90% of the projects in our New York office being Revit software-based, new engineers had a limited amount of time to adjust to the technology and the corresponding company standards. This demand placed an enormous amount of pressure on the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Team to create a training program that was fast, furious, and efficient. Attendees of this presentation will leave with a clear understanding of the steps necessary for ensuring that engineers are ready to hit the ground running in Revit software projects. This session features Revit and Revit Architecture. AIA Approved

Maybe you know the power of Revit software's Family Editor but you've avoided it, or it's intimidated you until now. Wait no more. This lab will introduce you to the basics of Family Editor. Once you get past being intimidated, you will find that while Family Editor is extremely powerful, it can actually be great fun. In this short introduction to Family Editor, we'll create a Revit component family complete with constraints and parameters. Don't worry if you don't know what a constraint or parameter is-we'll cover that too. Whether you've never worked in Revit software before, or you've used Revit for a while but you've simply avoided Family Editor, this lab will teach you the basics of the Family Editor in a simple step-by-step fashion, and in the best way possible: hands-on! (The session will use architectural examples, but the concepts apply to all of the flavors of Revit software, including Revit LT software.)

The Customer Success Management (CSM) organization within Autodesk Consulting works closely with many of the world’s largest and most successful architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms to help them transition to Building Information Modeling (BIM). This class summarizes transformation best practices and highlights specific insights from architecture, engineering, and construction perspectives. In addition, this class will include commentary and lessons learned from Autodesk customers as we provide examples of their successes and challenges in transitioning to BIM.

The aim of this class is to demonstrate how teams within a construction company can use Autodesk Revit Live and what benefit such use can bring to their daily activities. Autodesk Revit is a software package most commonly used by design consultancies and architectural practices across the UK. It allows the creation and coordination of BIM models delivered by multiple members of the design team. Within the CAPEX phase, the model is passed to the contractor for clash detection, quantity take-off, and scheduling purposes, further to populate BIM models with information necessary for the Operational & Maintenance phase. Contractors can also use BIM models to provide the client with various design options, adjusting project cost, duration, and quality. Through the use of Autodesk Revit Live, contractors can provide clients with the ability to experience immersive VR visualisation of their project; however, VR usage is not limited to clients? benefits. Various teams within the construction company can benefit from visualising BIM models in a virtual reality environment.

In this class, you'll learn about the workflow needed to get your Revit MEP model with Revit Live software into Live Editor. Particularly when it comes to MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing), you need to know where to set the materials to get great results for your virtual reality experience. This class will demonstrate all the settings and the full workflow from your MEP model to Live Editor.

One cannot sail happily and safely without mastery of navigation coordinates, and the same holds true for any Revit-based software user who works on projects with a multitude of linked models. This class blows away the fog covering coordinate systems in Revit and offers clarity so you can sail your way through the roughest of seas. We drill through all the means of controlling shared coordinates and lift the curtain of abstraction through rich, visual aids. Learn to properly rig your projects and linked files for perfectly-shared positioning and master the concepts behind survey and project base points. Following this class you will no longer have to rely on the Coast Guard for rescue and assistance and will garner the bravado of a true captain of the seas!

Over the years using software like Autodesk Revit, you develop little tricks and tidbits of useful information (such as how View Range actually functions) and sometimes you are working on something else and you remember a little gem you had forgotten (such as how useful a view list schedule can be). While we won't be rivaling Lynn Allen's 90 tips in 90 minutes (how does she do that?) we will cover quite a bit of ground. Here's a short list: Linework tool, when to create line styles, what objects show above the cut, what objects show below the bottom, how to create a family types parameter, line-based families for fire tape lines, decals, filters and browser organization. And that's just the stuff you can do in any release. New in this release: the new adaptive divide and repeat, view Templates, custom view types and exporting material libraries. Anyone count that? Still not 90? Oh well. I still guarantee that there's something for everyone here. If you use Revit, I have a tip for you
