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.

Many may think that one should separate Navisworks software and BIM 360 Model Coordination on a project by choosing one or the other for clash modeling. This could not be further from the truth. This class will highlight case studies of recent Tetra Tech projects that have resulted in a greater than 50% drop in average time spent at the end of projects for disciplines resolving clashes by using BIM 360 Model Coordination and Navisworks. Attendees will learn how to easily start working within BIM 360 Model Coordination, which will enable an earlier start to clash coordination in the project’s design cycle before running a more comprehensive clash analysis using Navisworks. This class will also provide tips, tricks, and innovative processes for working on projects in BIM 360 to easily set up the BIM 360 Model Coordination service, and we’ll cover the new features added in 2021 for bringing these results into Navisworks.

This will be a BIM 360 Model Coordination module road map session, covering the next-generation platform, and associated classic products (Navisworks software, BIM 360 Glue software, and BIM 360 Layout iPad app).

Do you want to learn how to use laser scans in Autodesk's Model Coordination? This session will cover how Miron Construction has cut this process down from weeks to a few hours. We've been using laser scans for 10+ years and have recently started performing laser scanning ourselves. Laser scanning takes a lot of time and effort, and we were missing an efficient way to use the scans in Model Coordination. Linking the laser scan into Revit software and modeling over it is not easy and creates a lot of risk when coordinating with those models. If items are modeled inaccurately, all liability falls back on our team, which is something that Miron Construction's virtual construction team wants to avoid. This session will share how we are using PointFuse to elevate our building information modeling (BIM) coordination outcomes in Model Coordination.

Hear how AECOM used model coordination for a fast-track airport project in Qatar that involved more than 40 buildings, hundreds of project team members from numerous AECOM offices, and thousands of clash reports. BIM 360 Model Coordination software moves clash detection efforts beyond the BIM experts, letting all team members review and access up-to-date model-coordination information. In this session, you’ll learn how Model Coordination with BIM 360 can automatically clash project models and share coordination issues with the project team. Any team member can use BIM 360 Model Coordination without the need for Revit software, Navisworks software, or other specialized software. BIM 360 manages Model Coordination issues, removing the need to distribute clash reports or manage Navisworks exports from your BIM software.

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 Forma and Model Coordination. The era when only BIM coordinators could run clash detection is over! Be your own BIM coordinator!

Currently, Autodesk offers two 3D coordination and clash detection tools in its Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection. Deciding between Model Coordination and Navisworks software can be a challenge. Have you wondered how large multinationals like AECOM are making that decision? In this industry talk, AECOM will share some of our ideas and workflows on how best to use Model Coordination and Navisworks on your vertical infrastructure projects.

Learn how to share models from Revit software to BIM 360 Docs software using BIM 360 Design software, and then how to use this model in BIM 360 Model Coordination for Clash Detection, reviewing clash with team, creating issues, and more. Model Coordination provides a shared space to publish, review, and run clashes on your latest set of project models and upload 3D models to a centralized Model Coordination folder, and the clash service automatically locates any issues in those models. BIM 360 Design is a cloud work-sharing and design-collaboration product built for distributed, multidisciplinary teams. With BIM 360 Design, you can co-author Revit models in the cloud, control work-sharing activities, and coordinate deliverable exchange across teams.

This demonstration will highlight the new unified BIM 360 experience, focusing on BIM 360 Document Integration with the new BIM 360 Model Coordination web application (which replaces functionality from the BIM 360 Glue Class app). We will walk through setting up a new unified BIM 360 project and activating the BIM 360 Document Management and the BIM 360 Model Coordination services. We’ll demonstrate how these 2 applications can work hand in hand with each other to streamline coordination with Revit software (via BIM 360 Design), Navisworks software, and AutoCAD software-based models. And we will demo the individual features of both applications.

BIM 360 Model Coordination has undergone a number of advancements in the past year, including the introduction of clash issue & not-an-issue workflows, clash object groupings, IFC support, and much more.   Join ACS product managers to understand how to take advantage of the new coordination workflows available in the product, and see how you can get your whole project team involved in clash resolution in order to perform coordination faster and avoid more potential issues during construction.

In this hands-on lab session, we will explore coordination workflows between different disciplines, accessed from Forma Data Management to Revit software, with a primary focus on the automatic identification of changes in coordination model elements—whether they’re added, deleted, or modified. Participants will learn to use visibility tools tailored to their areas of interest, enabling quick distinctions between different models at a glance. This approach reduces errors by facilitating the easy identification of the correct coordination model. By gaining precise control over the visibility of elements in your coordination models, you’ll be able to simplify complex models and enhance efficiency. Displaying only relevant details allows you to concentrate on specific coordination elements and easily locate them within your coordination views. Join us to master the art of effectively managing and distinguishing coordination model elements, thereby increasing your workflow efficiency and accuracy.

It has been a long road getting from there to here! Here we are again, on the precipice of a technology revolution. What will the future look like? What will the Autodesk Forma have in store? Most importantly, what will the Construction Industry embrace? Join this class to discuss what Model Coordination will mean, project delivery requirements, automation in the software, automation in the physical world, and the future of VDC roles. We will first time travel back to the beginning of Clash Detection and BIM Software, then we will compare that to current capabilities, and finally we will step into the future to explore the impact of what current cutting edge technology could have and review the tech workflows of the future.

The Navisworks integration with Autodesk Forma Model Coordination fosters collaboration among multiple stakeholders in a shared environment. It enables teams to allocate clashes to respective teams and flag them in authoring software for prompt resolution. Conventional clash detection workflows encounter challenges like nonstreamlined processes and prolonged procedures, as well as an absence of a shared collaborative environment, a need to sift through lengthy clash reports, inadequate documentation, and a lack of methods to assign clashes. Integrating Navisworks with Model Coordination offers a streamlined workflow and a closed-loop clash management system, and it provides comprehensive documentation and enhances coordination, productivity, and efficiency. In this lab, you'll learn to use the Model Coordination API in Navisworks for clash detection, and use the Issues add-in in Revit software for issue management and clash location, ensuring seamless coordination. Overcome your challenges and capitalize on the power of Autodesk tools.

In this lab we will introduce and work with BIM 360 Glue software for model coordination workflows. BIM 360 Glue software is a cloud-based Building Information Modeling (BIM) Management and Collaboration Solution that connects the entire project team and helps streamline BIM project review and 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.

This session will cover the "bare bones” setup of a Forma Data Management 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 Forma environment to take this strategy to the next level by removing roadblocks seen in previous versions of the product.

Is the Navisworks silo holding your project back? For 20 years, coordination was a "once a week" event locked on a desktop. No more. This session will explore the leap to continuous, cloud-native coordination in Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud). We'll dive into how Model Coordination democratizes BIM, using Autodesk AI and Autodesk Assistant to validate clashes against specs in real time. Learn to ditch static PDF reports for a closed-loop workflow that connects designers directly to fixes. We'll settle the debate: Where does Model Coordination win, and when do you still need the Navisworks "power user" kit? Join us to build a road map for a faster, AI-augmented and integrated future. Stop clashing. Start coordinating.

Immersive technologies are often promoted as the future of model coordination, yet most teams remain stuck in screen sharing and pilot demos. This session challenges that pattern, presenting a practical playbook for using shared immersive space as a deliberate coordination tool rather than a novelty. Through real project scenarios, it shows when XR enables faster understanding and better decisions, when desktop review works better, and how to structure immersive meetings so technical and non-technical stakeholders collaborate effectively. Hardware, visualization, and platforms matter but only when paired with clear intent, facilitation, and decision focused workflows.

With next generation technology, much of the model coordination process has been transformed through automation and digital collaboration, democratizing the model coordination experience for VDC managers and trade teams. But a truly coordinated experience isn’t possible without connecting all parts of BIM data from design to plan to build. This session will show you how Autodesk is delivering on this new level of connected model coordination and how integrated workflows will deliver best-in-class coordination capabilities.

Learn how Porsche uses ReCap software, mesh extraction, and Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) to create accurate “last stand” models of production factories before retooling. In high-cost environments where production downtime must be minimized, existing Revit models of assembly lines are compared with current as-built conditions using lightweight, segmented meshes. This enables precise adjustments or extensions of production lines with reduced risk. This session will cover mesh generation, semantic segmentation, and integration into Model Coordination, with real project insights and best practices for large-scale manufacturing environments.
