Are you interested in using building information modeling (BIM) data through dashboards to drive projects forward? In this session, product managers from Data Exchange and Revit software will share how you can unleash your AEC data and connect to Power BI without the use of plug-ins or the need to export data from Revit and other tools. Learn to set up powerful dashboards enabling you to connect data from various models or projects so you can make data-driven decisions for your project and your business. We will invite a customer to share a success story using Power BI, so you have real-world examples of how BIM and dashboards can play together nicely. You'll also learn about the road maps and product strategies for both Data Exchange and Revit when it comes to granular data capabilities.

The goal of this presentation is to help Revit users who are looking to use code to improve their workflows. Revit API might sound impossible to learn, but it's not that complicated if you follow the right road map. The speaker has created hundreds of Revit add-ins, made about 100 video tutorials on Revit API, and taught hundreds if not thousands of people how to do the same. And this presentation will show you where you should start and which basics you should focus on. This will be a great brief introduction to Revit API basics, and will demonstrate how to apply it to create a custom Revit add-in.

The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) of Victoria, Australia, is delivering a major digital transformation program to manage the transport infrastructure of a state where 6+ million people live. With more than $100 billion in transport infrastructure projects in development through 180+ major projects and with 20,000+ people in jobs, the DTP needed to implement digital engineering standards, processes, and technologies to effectively and securely manage the asset lifecycle from planning to operation and maintenance. This program aims to enhance efficiency through better collaboration and flow of information throughout the project lifecycle. The DTP will present its current digital engineering and digital asset information management initiatives. The session will focus on the road map for streamlining building information modeling (BIM) standards, workflows, and technologies associated with the digital delivery process, and how Autodesk, Esri, and IBM Maximo helped the department better align its processes with technology.

The Brazilian city of Curitiba was declared the smartest city in the world, according to the World Smart City Awards, a prize awarded by Fira Barcelona in Spain. This is considered one of the major honors in the areas of innovation and smart cities. This session will show participants the evolution of the building information modeling (BIM) process in Curitiba. We will especially look at BIM within the scope of the city's urban planning agency (IPPUC) and its executing body for structural works programs (UTAG)—with the implementation of the BIM laboratory (LaBIM PMC), the use of 3D models to present works to city residents, the interactions developed in conjunction with CIM (city information modeling), and the application of the models for the execution process of the works, mainly in relation to quality management, scope, and schedule.

In the design process of highway projects, applying building information modeling (BIM) technology, using parametric design methods, and delivering complete project models is a challenging task. During the design process, issues such as efficient design workflow, data exchange, model segmentation, WBS info, and digital delivery need to be addressed. With parametric design tools like Dynamo software, engineers can automatically create models and complete property assignments based on project requirements, significantly reducing repetitive work and allowing them to focus more on the design itself. This case study will show you the complete parametric design workflow and data exchange for this highway expansion project, with a focus on parametric modeling using Dynamo and Python. Through parametric modeling via programming, stakeholders can achieve efficiency gains of two to three times compared to manual modeling methods for roadbeds, pavements, bridges, and tunnels.

Difficult and costly importation of equipment. Lack of customized parts. Unavailable spare parts, especially in the remote areas where supply chains may be disrupted. These are some of the daily challenges faced by the staff of MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières—Doctors Without Borders). The 3D Printing for All project aims to democratize access to 3D printing and solve some of those challenges by getting 3D printing in MSF's projects, and developing procedures and guidelines on how to use it safely and efficiently. Describing design needs, context, and technical parameters for a CAD expert to make a design is critical to the production of the products that solve problems in the field. For the most part, the people who have the problems to solve do not have engineering backgrounds—and yet they have to provide precise information. Throughout the implementation of the project, we've experienced this communication gap, learned valuable lessons on how to minimize the number of iterations, and saved material and time involved in putting a product in use.

In the architectural and engineering world, it's a challenge to integrate Rhino software for early design stages with Revit software for detailed design, collaboration, and documentation. Rhino excels in modeling intricate geometries. Revit has powerful information modeling capabilities. Revit is commonly used as the primary delivery platform. Bridging these platforms is critical for optimizing productivity. Our approach uses data exchange, through Dynamo, to seamlessly connect Rhino and Revit. We'll showcase how this integration facilitates fluid geometry exchange between the programs, and empowers users to generate native model elements directly from Rhino geometry in Revit. We'll explore precise data-structuring techniques, and provide invaluable tips for achieving seamless interoperability. Beyond technical details, our session will highlight broader benefits for architectural practices, including enhanced project collaboration, streamlined design processes, and expedited decision making with Autodesk Construction Cloud at its core.

In this talk, we'll explore the transformative potential of generative AI (GenAI) in streamlining conceptual design processes.

Join the talk to discover how GenAI accompanies designers from establishing design directions to exploring design options, facilitating intuitive design workflows. Learn how to harness GenAI's capabilities to interpret designers' inspirations, generating limitless variants efficiently. We'll also discuss how we integrated design constraints into GenAI, providing designers with greater control. Join the conversation and explore the challenges and opportunities for GenAI to streamline your design workflows.
