You'll learn how digital maintenance platforms help teams reduce unplanned downtime, standardize work, and turn operational data into actionable insights. This session will also cover what's next for intelligent maintenance and asset management - and why manufacturers are making this a priority today.

A Confidential Client is redefining facility operations through an Autodesk Tandem-powered digital twin that transforms survey (ReCap software), scan-to-BIM (Revit and Civil 3D software), and project data into a living operational platform, not just documentation. Integrated with SkySpark and a CMMS, the twin enables machine-learning-driven fault detection and diagnostics, submetering analysis, and optimization control at the building level today with a GIS-enabled, facility-wide decision layer on the horizon. The result: faster operational decisions, measurable efficiency gains, and a scalable model for AI-driven facilities management. Hear how a Client's digital delivery workflow became the foundation for continuous operational improvement, and see what it takes to get there.

What an owner expects inside the model has changed dramatically in recent years. The model has stopped being just a coordination artifact, it feeds prefab, production tracking, field deliverables, and facilities maintenance. On mission-critical work, and especially data centers, the stakes climb even higher because electrical infrastructure sits on the critical path and schedules leave no room for delay. The gap between a standard model and what is expected now shows up as measurable hours per project, and it lands hardest on teams that are already running at capacity. This session draws on patterns Augmenta is seeing across a wide range of mission critical projects, breaking down how teams are meeting demand by generating data rich models from the start rather than back filling detail under deadline pressure.

The speaker’s vision of providing a client with a complete, live, and sustainable facilities management (FM) solution was realized. Happy FM team, happy owners. Then the unthinkable happened: Autodesk changed the Document Management software. Chaos reigned! Cats and dogs living together! The speaker was in rebuild mode, and it had to be done fast. The new BIM 360 Document Management is often perceived in one of a couple of ways: complex and clumsy or more controllable and manageable. At first, the speaker saw it the first way, and was tired and worn out. Then the speaker went into rebuild mode for a weekend and came up with a leaner solution that capitalized on the new BIM 360 Docs system and BIM 360 Ops software. Come on a journey and learn to capitalize on this technology, bending the software systems to your needs—then layer in some cool new tech to make even stronger environments. We’ll look at BIM 360 Document Management, BIM 360 Ops, and the Matterport scanning system, and we’ll dip into a little Forge programming along the way.

After this class attendees will be able to exploit virtual reality in the realm of construction—particularly, the way and flow of utilizing Samsung Gear VR. Exploring virtual worlds through this device at the construction site or during meetings without other machines is a forte. This drove me to make a deep study of how to utilize it. There are 2 approaches to accomplish virtual reality by utilizing Gear VR during construction phases and facility management purposes. Two paths—Building Information Modeling (BIM) model and construction site picture based—can be technically considered. First, when you use Gear VR with your BIM model, you need to be familiar with software such as Revit software and 3ds Max software for visualizing and rendering. If you intend to navigate your BIM model in virtual worlds, you will also need game engines like Unity3D with Android Studio. Also, regarding exploring panorama pictures, equipment for panoramic photographs and editing tools that will help convert those photos to the 3D world will be required as well.

The class will cover the workflows and considerations needed when setting models up in Revit software for export to BIM 360 Glue software to enable these to be used in BIM 360 Field software and then Building Ops software with asset management and operations and maintenance in mind. The presentation will look at how certain data doesn’t flow across the platforms, and we’ll demonstrate alternative work-arounds you can undertake to overcome this. The presentation will look at how to set up your Revit project with the mindset that the models will be used on iPads in BIM 360 Field software, and then we’ll look at how the data will transfer across into the Building Ops application. We will also address which application the data is generated in and we’ll look at examples of who populates this information. We will explore the differences in the Building Ops model viewing appearance, and the considerations that you may want to make when setting up the model at the start of the project with BIM 360 Glue software, BIM 360 Field software, and Building Ops software in mind. This session features Building Ops, BIM 360 Field, and BIM 360 Glue. AIA Approved

As the definition of Building Information Modeling (BIM) evolves and becomes a better-known and established collaboration process in the building design and construction industry, owners increasingly require BIM services from construction managers, architects, and engineering firms. AE/C/CM firms are investing in BIM technologies to help them during bidding, preconstruction, construction, and post-construction. Attendees learn methods and best practices for managing BIM information flows from design phases to building maintenance through a series of scenario-based presentations and case studies. This class also discusses the power of integrating specification writing into the BIM workflow. Upon completion of the class, attendees will have a good understanding of how BIM data evolves from design to construction management stages and eventually to building operation and maintenance.

Today with reality capture technology it’s very fast and easy to collect large amounts of data with reality capture technology—but what can a point cloud be used for? The obvious answer is as-built verification of existing spaces. But is there something more that you can use it for? This class will focus on strategies using already existing tools within the Autodesk, Inc., product line that go beyond just as-builts. We will discuss examples of lessons learned and successes from integrating reality capture workflows when assisting new construction and renovations projects. From scanning to installation and beyond to facilities management, there is almost always something that you can make from a point cloud.

Has a client ever asked what would happen to the budget if you made one tiny change to the whole system? Have you been forced into the awkward position of trying to explain that answering that question would take a long time to work out, or that the estimate you are about to give cannot be trusted? Everyone says that it's important to take time to set up your models correctly from the beginning in order to make sure they stay useful throughout the project, but what does that mean exactly? This class will help you figure out what you need to think about in order to be the most nimble, informed, design consultant out there while also helping you understand how to use Revit software to accomplish much without a ton of work. Work smarter, not harder-start today!

The idea of using Building Information Modeling (BIM) models in facilities management has been raised for many years. One major reason why it isn’t widely adopted in the market is the mismatch between as-built model and built structure. Using reality capture technology, we can collect the scan data of the built structure and use it for as-built model verification. A list of discrepancies between scan data and the as-built model would be produced, and team members could validate the results and amend the as-built model when appropriate. This class will identify the workflow when using Revit software to verify the as-built model with the scan data, as well as the possible follow-up actions. We will use a third-party Revit plug-in for scan data identification with model category, and we’ll perform model checking using point clouds. We’ll explore a sample case to demonstrate the suggested workflow. This session features Revit and ReCap. AIA Approved

The 65,000-square-meter (70,000-square-foot) offices of Ilot Fontenoy-Ségur (IFS)—located in the heart of Paris’s 7th arrondissement near the Eiffel Tower—is a major renovation project for the French government. The client’s most notable requirement is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) model with facility-management capabilities. Our team at VINCI Construction France is currently in charge of BIM management for this project, which includes providing Revit software templates for architecture, structure, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) to all stakeholders. We also ensure the training of all the project members involved and the review of all models according to a predefined BIM-guideline set up in partnership with the facility manager (data codification, levels of details, and information). In addition to Revit software, we also used Revit software’s API and BIMLink to quickly implement information. All the 3D models are used during the current construction phase for 3D coordination, quantity takeoffs, drawings, and on-site communication with our building workers.

Hear valuable lessons related to Building Information Modeling-to-Facilities Management (BIM-to-FM) integration from an owner several years into the BIM journey. Why was this journey started? Which data should we capture about the facility? How is the data being used for operations or other purposes? How do you integrate deliverables—or the FM system itself—with record models and/or the data in them? This discussion will include details on how the Revit software COBie Toolkit was useful and how 1 owner is moving beyond basic integration with the company's computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) to implement forward/backward compatibility with models of 150 new and existing buildings across its campus.

This class will share strategies for managing a large portfolio of buildings in BIM 360 Ops software. Owners, project managers, and facilities managers will gain tips to simplify and manage buildings globally and then locally. Attendees will learn which standards matter, how to best administrate scheduled tasks for a diverse global team, and how to report for effective management.

This class covers using Revit®-based software, BIM 360™ Field, and Navisworks® for the operation, maintenance, and lifecycle of facilities. We consider the progress of the facilities management industry in implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) and review the outcomes of a project to use Revit, BIM 360 Field, and Navisworks to manage a new school in London. We also identify further opportunities to integrate BIM data into the delivery of facilities management services to owners and occupiers of facilities.

The Innovative Construction Solutions (ICS) Team at Skanska USA Building recently implemented BIM 360 Ops software for one of Skanska's commercial development clients to facility manage a newly constructed luxury condominium residential tower in Boston, Massachusetts. This particular client also requested model visualization to complement the mobile-first work order management capabilities of BIM 360 Ops, and required that the ICS Team partner with Autodesk to develop an API integration between BIM 360 Ops and its existing tenant concierge software platform. In this class, ICS Team members who worked on this project will share the lessons they learned and the workflow they developed using Revit software, Navisworks software, BIM 360 Glue software, BIM 360 Field software, and BIM 360 Ops.

The inclusion of point cloud support inside Autodesk® Revit® software means that documenting existing facilities is now easier than ever…hypothetically. With the advent of facilities management software and operations and maintenance databases reaching out to Building Information Modeling (BIM) for visualization and representation, the workflow seems obvious. Follow us through a real example of taking a building with no drawings from laser scan data to intelligent model, then to a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) database, and finally to facilities management tools.
