This session will cover the "bare bones” setup of an Autodesk Docs central file-sharing site with granular permissions for use by a construction team during building information modeling (BIM) coordination. A builder's construction technology manager will demonstrate how Autodesk Collaborate supported by Autodesk add-ins can be used as a shared on-demand syncing tool for teams that still favor Navisworks Manage to run clash detection between a diverse mix of trade partners working both in and out of the cloud. Autodesk technical experts will provide supplementary advice along the way to show how teams can make use of new features in the Autodesk Construction Cloud environment to take this strategy to the next level by removing roadblocks seen in previous versions of the product.

We've all been there: Delivery deadlines are closing in. Late model changes from other teams suddenly appear. How can we be sure that our models meet the requirements and quality that our clients expect from us when the time to do model coordination checks becomes shorter and shorter? In this session, we'll show how you can implement model coordination so your team is more efficient with automated clash detection using Autodesk Construction Cloud and Model Coordination. The era when only BIM coordinators could run clash detection is over! Be your own BIM coordinator!

See how Model Coordination was used on the Portland International Airport (PDX) to coordinate design partners, trade partners, and general contractor as-built scans. This class will discuss the philosophy of our use, and the setup and maintenance process, as well as lessons learned along the way. The project joined Autodesk Cloud Services in January 2019 in order to handle the sheer number of team members and data that needed to be coordinated across all teams. The decision to use Model Coordination was heavily targeted toward the leadership group for both design and owner. These folks are not Revit users but are integral to the design process and direction. This platform allowed them to see the design as it developed and offered a unique lens previously unavailable. It also gave them the freedom to explore the design and investigate areas of the building with ease. The platform was used very effectively in regular coordination meetings, client meetings, and client-driven meetings.

Effective model coordination is key to the success of major water treatment plant projects. It promotes design harmony and team synergy across various disciplines. This session will explore the complexities of synchronizing intricate intelligent models.

Additionally, we'll examine the role AI and automation plays in the streamlining of these processes.

El Corte Inglés, Spain's largest department store chain and one of the biggest real estate owners in Europe, has digitized 3,7M+ sqm of their portfolio. Point clouds, Revit and ACC were the main tools used. This session will show the process and learnings of this experience and the improvements made after two years of continued efforts. They include a content library on Unifi to manage 21.000+ families widely used across 100+ assets' models, establishing a BIM office that uses Docs, Design Collaboration and Model Coordination to review and validate models, and devising strategies to bring models from previous stages up to the latest standards. Beyond digitization efforts, the session will also present how the models are being put to use for many purposes and their applications for even more: store renovation projects, quantities extraction and cost control, fittings capacity control studies, area related applications, construction stage… as well as the technologies for each of them.

Every asset owner wants to be in control of their assets and associated data. But how can we ensure that is data is up to date and correct so that it accurately translates to the correct information? How do we cope with changes, and can we ensure that the contractor or engineering firm receives the correct information? Additionally, there's a growing demand to make the data accessible and user-friendly in relation to geography. The Water Authority Drents Overijsselse Delta has made some changes to cope with this challenge. To create an accessible environment, it plots its assets on geographic information system (GIS) layers using ArcGIS GeoBIM. Additionally, the Water Authority wants to ensure that all its existing and new assets are being monitored correctly and are reliable according to national and organizational requirements. To achieve this goal, it's using the power of Autodesk Construction Cloud in combination with Cadac Control and Model Coordination.

There are still obstacles to sustainable design. Construction professionals know they must build faster, more efficiently, and more sustainably to meet global demands. The industry is moving away from waste and inefficiency, and is adopting smarter processes, connected teams, and workflows that ensure the right people have access to the data they need to make timely and confident decisions. That's why we need Revit software as a modeling tool; Autodesk Forma software with its conceptual design capabilities, predictive analytics, and design automation to help us to select the most-sustainable options in the early stages of the design process; Autodesk Docs software as our common data environment (CDE) and single source of truth; Design Collaboration to manage the exchange of design data between all project teams; Model Coordination for running efficient model coordination and automatic clash detection; Autodesk Build software for improved project, cost, and safety management; and Autodesk Takeoff software for early quantifications and estimations.

This case study explores how digital transformation happens, starting from the traditional design process and moving to Autodesk Construction Cloud using building information modeling (BIM) tools. It also identifies challenges, the importance of education and training, and the short-term and long-term benefits. The major challenge is the lack of capacity and capability, lack of a common platform, absence of standardization, inconsistencies in workflow and processes, and loss of information. We initiated the transformation by redefining the workflow processes, bringing Autodesk Construction Cloud, standardizing design language and deliverables, creating libraries, and training. This increased adaptation, leading to an increase in efficiency of model development, peer review, design collaboration, design management, and approval by all stakeholders. We were also able to define roles and responsibilities, ensure version control across all stakeholders, and review clash detection, thus improving on-time efficiency, accuracy, and quality of the deliverables by sharing information and collaborating.

Discover how we addressed design collaboration and seamless coordination among numerous designers and contractors in the world's longest immersed tunnel. During the basic design, 700+ models were created in Revit software to define complex elements like fire safety, lighting, ventilation, electrical, and ICA systems. To expedite progress, we implemented automations with Dynamo to swiftly model repetitive elements along the tunnel alignments. This helped us achieve a 70% time reduction in modeling and production costs. Real-time interdisciplinary collaboration was vital, along with streamlining information exchange, which Autodesk Construction Cloud facilitated as the ultimate source of truth for the 30 members involved in developing cloud-based models. IDOM dives into the details of the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link project during the session, seeking to inspire others by showcasing the remarkable engineering feats and collaborative efforts on a global scale.

Utilities, retailers, hospital operators, towercos, and other companies may need to digitalize large portfolios with thousands of existing facilities to complete their digital journeys—either to fully benefit from building information modeling (BIM) in design and construction or as a first step for the creation of their digital twins. Those same companies typically have an inventory database that is either incorrect or incomplete, but that has value nonetheless, since it may be used to connect said assets with other enterprise solutions, including maintenance and operations management. In this technical instruction session, we will present a workflow for the end-to-end digitalization of a portfolio of facilities using a component-based approach. This workflow starts with any existing inventory, uses it in Autodesk Construction Cloud Assets and Forms to capture on-site data, then switches to Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro software and Autodesk Docs software for the intelligent modeling of the facilities, and then again moves back to the Assets functionality for audit and validation.

Recognize ways to enhance workflows through the application of algorithmic design, structural optimization, BIM, and virtual reality using Revit, Dynamo, Rhino and Grasshopper.
