As workforces become more remote in a postpandemic world, working together and designing products as a team becomes much more challenging. Cloud-based products are removing many of the barriers to connecting and collaborating with remote team members. Fusion 360 software's cloud-connected capabilities are enabling users to step away from the office but maintain excellent connectivity with their teams with limited interruption in productivity. This demonstration will show how multiple team members can work simultaneously and remotely on a distributed assembly while avoiding common design conflicts. We will show new collaboration capabilities as well as advanced assembly design techniques that will help your company push ahead of competition as businesses adapt to new ways of working.

Are you interested in using BIM Collaborate Pro (formerly BIM 360 Design software) for multidisciplinary projects? This class is for you! Following a quick product overview, we'll dive into a live project for a whirlwind tour. We’ll start in the authoring tools—working with files from Revit software, Civil 3D software, and AutoCAD Plant 3D software—and show you how to share those files to the cloud. Next, we'll jump into design collaboration, where each design team will create and share its work packages. We'll then move over to model coordination and review any 3D clashes that have popped up. From there, we’ll visit BIM 360 Docs software and see how all project stakeholders have roles to play in model viewing, sharing, markups, issues, and more. Finally, we'll wrap up our journey in Insight building performance analysis software, where we’ll track the health of our project at a glance. This fast-paced course will help you in your decision about whether to adopt BIM Collaborate Pro within your own firm.

In this lab we will introduce and work with BIM 360 Glue software for model coordination workflows.

If you want to learn how to perform model coordination and clash resolution in the cloud with your extended team, or if you'd like to improve your existing desktop-based processes, this hands-on lab is for you. We will guide you through effective workflows for coordinating complex multidiscipline models using BIM 360 Glue software and better communicating with your entire team. We will also explore advanced options to track and manage clashes in BIM 360 Glue software and empower the extended project team with real-time, continuous BIM coordination to significantly shorten coordination cycles.

Many ongoing projects were affected during the pandemic, requiring changes to our design teams’ traditional workflows. Keeping all teams connected and motivated while social distancing has been an enormous challenge for our industry. Autodesk Construction Cloud has evolved to provide the greatest efficiency for cloud collaboration and team integration. In this class, attendees will learn how to use Revit Cloud Worksharing applying a standardized workflow that’s easy to understand and effective for fast-track projects, including project creation, worksharing process, and publish settings. With this workflow, we’ve been able to reduce communication lags, avoid local server failures, and optimize the sync process of our models by up to 50% compared to the traditional local server workflow.

Change can be scary for any firm. Don’t get stuck! Why wait until you’re forced out of BIM 360 Glue software to fully understand what Model Coordination has to offer? Like BIM 360 Glue, Model Coordination connects the entire project team and streamlines BIM project workflows. In this session, we will explore the differences between classic BIM 360 Glue and next-generation BIM 360 Glue, and how you can improve your team’s efficiency by making the switch. We’ll also set up coordination models and recognize how the model integrates across the entire BIM 360 platform. We'll ensure that the stickiness in this session will make the move to Model Coordination easier for you and your organization.

Transportation engineers work every day to keep cities and people connected. But how do we keep transportation engineers connected so they can help successfully deliver projects? This class will focus on providing a workflow for hosting multidisciplinary transportation projects in BIM 360 software. We will start with project setup, including cleaning inherited files, folder structure, and drawing and model creation. We'll discuss the steps teams need to take to collaborate through effective data shortcut management, markups, issues, and model coordination. We'll examine collaboration techniques between roadway, utility, and structural designers working in Civil 3D software and architects working in Revit software. In addition, we will show how LIDAR data can be used using Navisworks software to complete the 3D model. Finally, we’ll summarize best practice tips and tricks that can aid design teams in the efficient management of projects. We'll use examples from a successful BIM 360 transportation project located in Toronto.

Disrupt Disability is a social enterprise that aims to build a community of wheelchair users, designers, and makers who can create wheels that people want to wear. The reason for disrupting the worldwide market of 65 million people who need a wheelchair is that 8 out of 10 of them do not have access to one, either because of a prohibitive price tag or the customisation often needed to suit the user's environment and physical needs. Rachael Wallach is the founder of Disrupt Disability and is a wheelchair user herself. Rachael's vision is to leverage the opportunities now possible using the newest digital design, collaboration and digital manufacturing methods to give users choice and control over the form and function of their wheelchairs. These latest tools and methods have the ability to satisfy the needs of customised, market-of-one solutions, and therefore present an exciting enabler for the wheelchair market where traditional design and production methods are not delivering suitable solutions and products. Fusion 360 has been a cornerstone of the project so far. When Rachael got the opportunity to study at Stanford University shortly after the start of the project her sudden relocation did not affect progress as Fusion 360's collaboration tools, the ability to easily share designs and carry out live review sessions came to the fore. The modular approach to provide customised solutions is framed around the use of a common, structural core module. Development of this core module is central to the structural integrity of the wheelchairs that will be developed from it, so the Simulation environment in Fusion 360 was pivotal to ensuring that this module was fit for purpose before committing to the first prototypes. When it came to designing a seat module where the form of the seat was to be much more closely fitting to the individual the Sculpt environment enabled the generation of the complex surfaces required. The principle of a seat that follows the form of the user is one of the ways of achieving the vision of wearing our wheels as well as ensuring people see the person in the wheelchair, and not the wheelchair itself.

Integrated cross-disciplinary engineering requires integrated modeling. In turn, this necessitates a computational environment that promotes automation and facilitates collaboration and interoperability. At BuroHappold Engineering, Revit software is the principal Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, used across the organization for model coordination and deliverable production. Based on this, BuroHappold has developed global protocols for interdisciplinary collaboration, information exchange, and retention and reusability of computational knowledge. Drawing on the Revit software database, a visual programming environment such as the Dynamo extension platform can act as conduit and integrator between modeling, analysis, and production. We can use Dynamo extension’s built-in package manager in conjunction with resources such as a company intranet for dissemination of workflows as well as for version and dependency tracking. The effectiveness of such sharing of computational protocols and standards is a major component for collaboration in design practice.
