Siemens Mobility GmbH developed a whole workflow from digital track capturing using laser scanner technique to the creation of an infrastructure 3D model containing all relevant signaling assets. One of the main businesses for Siemens Mobility is the design, construction, and installation of signaling. The solution shows how automated data-preparation processes and interfaces help to combine different data sets in a way that helps cross-project teams understand and make use of the information easier and quicker. The focus of this class is based on demonstrating the benefits and added value arising from this solution, as well as a high-level overview of the processes supporting the different required use cases: digital track capturing, 3D visualization of the rail track with all assets, documentation, and train driver simulation. These processes make use of AutoCAD Civil 3D software, InfraWorks software, BIM 360 Field software, BIM 360 Document Management software, Maya software, Unity, and Forge.

In this class, you'll see how BIM 360 is being utilised at the heart of the largest higher education build project in the UK with workflows through design, off-site manufacturing, and asset information capture through the power of barcodes. We are working with Balfour Beatty and NG Bailey, and to University of Manchester requirements, in a collaborative BIM-managed process to deliver and integrate true digital construction. See and learn how we are using the BIM 360 platform to manage collaborative design through Revit, Navisworks, and BIM 360 Glue. Through construction management with tagged assets we are driving increased quality and safety procedures on-site, and linking to off-site module construction for the M&E services.

InfraWorks software now integrates with BIM 360 software and Esri ArcGIS, expanding every InfraWorks user’s capability exponentially. But how exactly? What can you do now that you couldn’t do before? In this session, you’ll learn the details about how the integrations work and see examples of how they expand your and your company’s abilities related to winning and completing projects.

During this session we'll take you on a journey from the initial problems we tried to solve using digital workflows, the barriers we faced over the fear of change, and winning the hearts and minds of the boots on the ground. Throughout this process, we at Robertson have experienced the lessons learned and have realised the successes which now enable meaningful data insights driving key business outcomes.

In this session, we will share the benefits of collaborative construction techniques between client, constructor, and modular provider utilising BIM 360 from design team to the factory and then to site. It's a reflection on the Hill Group digital construction journey.

In 2050, 66% of the world’s population will reside in urban areas. Landscape and Urban designers will be required to design more and better cities, with less impact on the environment. One of the most attractive characteristic of Landscape Design is its scale variety, ranging from balconies to huge campuses. In the “The Secret to Landscape Modeling with Revit”, we learned how landscape designs can be built in Revit, as well as the main challenges with the software. Large scale was one of these challenges. InfraWorks is the software that completes the Landscape Architect toolset for large scale modeling. In this class, we will discover how to model landscape elements in InfraWorks. We will also explore how to import information in your model from different data sources (GIS, Revit, 3D Models, Civil 3D) and collaborate in BIM360. Finally, you will learn how to present and visualize your project using Infraworks tools.

The demands for new homes in Scandinavia are at an extreme level and at the same time the demand for houses for public services such as nurseries, schools and other community initiatives has increased radically. At the same time, the regulations have become more stringent with demands for better, more energy efficient and sustainable buildings. The customers of today are also much more aware of the quality aspects of living and the demands on modern housing have also increased dramatically. Life quality and product quality goes hand in hand. The Nordic countries have a long tradition of prefabricating quality homes in an industrial way including 3D-modelling, automated machinery and production lines. But the increasing demands have led to a need to reform the traditional way to sell, design, and pre-construct. This has led to a shift in the industry from drawings and models to Design Automation and Data-management. BIM is becoming a necessity and automated workflows is a part of the package. By using Revit as a standardised platform for the whole process, from Sales and Marketing, Design Procurement, Preconstruction and CNC-output, and combined with specific tools and integrations to the manufacturers internal business systems great savings have been made with regards to time but also an increase in quality. By enriching the models with additional data using web-based solutions like BIM 360 and BIMeye more stakeholders can participate and share and contribute in the development. The seminar will present and demonstrate an integrated workflow through from Early design to hand over, including pre-construction, CNC and information to construction site.

Behind every great immersive technology experience is a team that spent way too much time destructively preparing their projects for augmented or virtual reality. Well, my friend, come and find out how you can save (gobs of) time by automating common data preparation tasks in 2 ways. First, we'll look at automatically preparing Revit files and Navisworks files in a local 3ds Max environment. In the second part of the class, we'll look at how to use Forge Design Automation Services to automatically prepare data from BIM 360 software.

Verkís Consulting Engineers has gained various benefits from using BIM 360 Glue software. Before taking on BIM 360 Glue, coordination and clash detection of models was a time-consuming process that delayed project delivery. Project managers had less overview over the design process in BIM (Building Information Modeling) projects, and involving stakeholders in the BIM process was often unsuccessful. With BIM 360 Glue, Verkís has streamlined coordination and clash-detection processes involving designers in the cloud environment, shortening coordination meetings and delivering better-coordinated models in less time. Project managers have better overview and are more involved in the design authoring and coordination process. The use of BIM 360 Glue and virtual reality (VR) for design review has opened a new market sector for Verkís. In this class, we will present different benefits of using BIM 360 Glue with different design projects. Verkís is an Icelandic engineering firm that provides services in building, energy, industry, and infrastructure sectors.

In this class, we will cover how to accelerate the transition to connected BIM (Building Information Modeling) for infrastructure with improved efficiency and project approvals through an end-to end design approach using InfraWorks software as the aggregator and design data visualizer. We will walk through one of our road projects and demonstrate the data collection solution we’re using in our data flow solution. Our techniques and workflow include high-end existing modeling conditions, road design representations in InfraWorks combined with built-in road and bridge design tools, ArcGIS Data collection and presentation in InfraWorks, Ramboll Risk Management data representation in InfraWorks, BIM 360 as collaboration tool for InfraWorks, InfraWorks data flow for 3ds Max software or Forge in the future, advanced visualization—virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR)—and more. We will expose attendees to leading practices using InfraWorks for data visualization and aggregation, and they will get inspired about how to improve design efficiency and reduce risk on the projects.

With just over 2 years since the UK Government mandated BIM Level 2 adoption on publicly procured built assets, construction project teams have claimed successful collaboration outcomes during the design phase. Successful examples of real-life application of collaboration during the construction phase, at the conversion of the coordinated virtual project information models into asset information models, and more importantly the physical assets, are sparse at best. Having invested extensive resources to produce a coordinated model which supports quicker installation on sites, design teams can only quite rightly question the role played by Tier 1 contractors in BIM workflows as federated, data rich models stay 'dumped' on the common data environment, CDE never fulfilling the intended purpose. This study examines the BIM platforms and tools available on the market, and demonstrates how Tier 1 contractors in the UK have developed information and resource management structures that enable efficient data capture during the construction phase to facilitate seamless delivery of BIM Level 2 education project with COBie requirements. More specifically, the study demonstrates the seamless workflows using BIM 360 Field and BIM 360 Glue on an educational project in the United Kingdom.

This session will walk through a typical bridge-layout transportation project that lets you connect geographic information system (GIS) data in a more seamless manner to your intelligent design model in InfraWorks workflow using InfraWorks software, AutoCAD Civil 3D software, Revit software, and Structural Bridge Design software.

With the recent addition of BIM 360 support to InfraWorks software, collaborating on your infrastructure projects has become both easier and much more powerful. This session will focus on the basics of the "BIM 360 to InfraWorks" workflow, including sharing your model, synchronizing, using the Large Model Viewer, and setting up permissions for the team. We'll also explore how to use the collaborative power of BIM 360 to share all of your InfraWorks assets, such as geographic information system (GIS) data sets, AutoCAD Civil 3D files, Revit files, 3D models, overlays, scripts, and other support content.

This class will cover the method that Nabholz used to successfully roll out a company-wide mobile information platform. We will walk through the options explored and decisions made regarding who needs to lead the implementation, what features to roll out first, when the rollout should be complete, and where in the company the rollout should occur—as well as how you get started, get everyone trained, and know when you’re done and ready to roll out additional features.

Discover how Deutsche Bahn Engineering and Consulting (DB E&C) uses connected BIM (Building Information Modeling) in railway projects in Germany to find the best design option on the basis of high-quality data to optimize the steps of “The Fantastic Four”: data aggregation, data visualization, communication, and collaboration. Come and see how DB E&C uses InfraWorks software to set up a data-rich environment and how the new Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS is used to bridge the gap between BIM and a geographic information system (GIS). Learn how DB E&C was empowered to take better, data-driven decisions on preliminary rail-design tasks, and get inspired by the way that the intelligent models are used for visualization and design reviews, communicating alternatives, and collaborating with key project stakeholders.

Unlock your companies GIS data in ESRI online and InfraWorks, dynamically build models and connect to valuable data resources.

Do you need near real-time feedback on your construction project?Is scanning the way to achieve it?We think so.

This Instructional Demo will highlight the flow of data that could be experienced immediately after a slab pour.Point cloud data will be optimised using a combination of Revit, APL, Dynamo and BIM 360 Layout.

You will already know that slab deviations in relation to point clouds can be displayed graphically in Revit, but what else can you do with that information?

What if you could send back the out-of-tolerance locations to your team in the field and enable them to mark the areas requiring remediation on the ground semi-automatically?

We will show you how this could work for you.

Providing precise and reliable management of inspection details is only a part of the construction inspection process. It is also essential to be able to visualize and manage access to the inspection records. In this class we will show how you can minimize risk by using Infrastructure Map Server software and BIM 360 Glue software to have reliable, searchable inspection data that is readily available in an easy-to-use, web-based system. The Pre and Post Facility Condition Inspection System will manage all aspects of the condition of infrastructure within a certain distance of the construction corridor; and it will do so in a database that provides time-bound, consistent, reliable, auditable, and secure access to a set of data elements that are located using GPS location—and by reference to the appropriate construction corridor feature. Through out the class we will cover the features of the system, such as how it captures the details of the inspection and maintains reliability. We will also discuss the tools that are included to suit the needs of various stakeholders.

Many organizations are undergoing digital transformation to prepare for a data-driven future. A measurement of the success of your strategy can be captured through a data analysis of how your organization uses BIM (Building Information Modeling) tools. Using BIMbeats, you can achieve real-time data capture. BIMbeats uses the Elastic stack to transform data into insights, and ingests and stores data from multiple formats to provide real-time dashboards in multiple formats, including Microsoft Power Bi, Tableau, and Kibana. By capturing user activity and processing log/journal files in a digestible format, BIMbeats can identify the super users who can automate mundane tasks and those who may need a little help breaking old habits. It can also check whether your projects are meeting model- and information-based deliverables and support ISO19650 auditing. Triggers can also be set to take immediate action when company standards or best practices are not being followed.

How can you deliver a building with BIM 360 classic Field and Build (next gen). What are the differences and why is BIM 360 a great tool? We put a form in the system as a checklist so that every room in the building could be checked on flaws, mistakes, and defects. It is the perfect world when these issues are sent directly to the person responsible for that part. In our case we couldn't get our partners to use BIM 360 in the right way. But even with this minor problem we had control over all our issues and could manage without using Excel or Word. This was with BIM 360 classic Field and actually it worked quite well. We had to wait with BIM 360 Build (next gen) because the feature 'signatures' wasn't available yet. But when it was, the process to deliver became even better, because we didn't have to synchronise anymore! Now the data on the iPad was immediately the same as on the computer or smartphone for that matter. When I told my colleagues about the app on the phone they were very excited. Our quality and safety guy was really enthusiastic about BIM 360 Field but couldn't see an overview of the same issues in the projects, so we build a website that shows us all data that is in the cloud. This is also very helpful to look at the big picture and what can we learn from this. Using Python with the modules flask and pandas, we were able to do a company-wide data analysis. With this analysis we had more insights in what was happening on the construction site. Implementing BIM 360 in an analogue workflow is tough. Colleagues are used to print, draw, sketch, sign, email to a partner, and wait for an answer. With BIM 360 this process is very different. We mail every question, from RFI to review assignments. But with BIM 360 we now have more control over our reviews and RFIs.
