Since the introduction of a Universal Issue Management, Issues, Observations, Snagging and Reporting of Issues is now all wrapped up into one.  No matter which BIM 360 Application you are using, Issues are available to follow up on your queries and concerns.

Don’t let small things get in the way and cause a potential roadblock somewhere down the line.  Get it taken care of right away. Let’s examine the various workflows involved in this simple and straight forward presentation.

Topics will include:

• Issue Administration
• Web v Mobile usage
• Filtering and Reporting

The Advance Steel extension for Revit, allows the transfer of model data between the platforms. In this class we take a look at some of the background behind this process and along the way we see some of the settings and concepts that make this process an easier bi-directional workflow. Sharing some tips and tricks we have learnt exploring this workflow, on how to achieve a good transfer of steel and connections.

An important aspect of BIM is about utilising the data you have. Re-use not recreate.

In this session I will be taking a flat 2D LT Architectural site plan and extracting as much information as possible from it to generate a quick 3D model that can be used for planning applications, selling the job, informing stakeholders or just to give a better understanding of the impact of the project on the environment.

From this 3D model, we can upload it to the cloud and produce a 3D rendered model for use on a web page so a wider audience can also have it’s say.

Subassemblies in AutoCAD Civil 3D are great, and I often think that they are underused. However, sometimes they don’t always answer your questions exactly as you need. Additionally, for those achieving BIM level 2, you want to be able to generate your Codes to achieve the level of information required. Thankfully, there is a tool all Civil 3D users have that can help; Autodesk Subassembly Composer.

In this Webinar we will focus on the workflow from identifying a problem to solve, through planning and preparation and then to create your own Subassemblies:

• Understanding Subassemblies
• Finding solutions to problems – What’s in the Civil 3D box
• Code Sets, what are they and how do I make them work for me?
• Planning a new Subassembly
• Sketches, data requirements, properties and codes
• Creating a new Subassembly
  – In Civil 3D
  – In Subassembly Composer
• Adding your new Subassembly to Civil 3D

Civil 3D is a fantastic Civil Engineers tool for creating a BIM compliant model that has all sorts of useful information that can be used throughout the lifecycle of a project. Assemblies for Linear structures are an important aspect of this and understanding them will help users get even more out of Civil 3D.

In this Instructional Demonstration I will take you through 3 scenarios where Subassemblies can help:

1. Using Subassemblies to resolve problems (What’s in the Box),
2. Adjusting Subassemblies to make them work for you (Working with Codesets)
3. Creating New subassemblies (when the standard tools don’t answer your requirement)

Connecting project teams is easier said than done with firms facing many obstacles such as increased workforce mobility, inefficient workflows and IT infrastructure overheads. Entire project teams need to collaborate from the outset using a single source of truth. Extended teams want to seamlessly share information, while designers want to connect to centralised models and data. Collaborating in real-time in the cloud is the future of doing business.

Autodesk BIM360 Docs and BIM360 Design gives us that future……today.

Since the introduction of BIM Level 2 in 2011, there has been a big focus on Level of Detail and Level of Information required in a model. There has been some confusion where one starts and the other stops. This webinar will run through the key differences, and how to populate content with the right information for both asset and geometry.

The webinar will focus on the following areas:

• Understanding Level of Detail (LOD)
• Understanding the different levels and how they apply to phases of a project
• Asset information – Level of Information (LOI)
• Using Parameter information – text based and hyperlinks
• Naming conventions for LOI

The main reason behind this session is due to a question I get asked regularly whilst training the electrical section of an Autodesk Revit MEP course is, “can you re-format the circuit references for 3 phase circuits so they look more like the UK standard?”

Normally the answer is no, as Revit uses the US format for referencing the 3 live phases which are A, B & C, whereas in the UK we use L1, L2, L3. Even when you change A,B & C to L1,L2 & L3 in the electrical settings, it still formats the data back to front to the UK format EG: 1/L1 becomes L1/1. This session will address this using dynamo and shared parameters to reformat the data.

Does Revit do everything you need it to do? Would Automation of common tasks have no benefit to you? Are you a qualified/competent programmer that understands the API?

If you answered no to any if not all of these questions, then this webinar is for you.

A lot of people have heard of Dynamo BIM for Revit, unfortunately some people only see it as a computational concept design tool. This webinar will open your eyes to the powerful tool that is Dynamo.

You will see how:

• Dynamo is a visual node-based tool
• Dynamo lets you do things Revit can’t
• Common task can be automated
• To interact with Excel to import and use data
• To use more advance features for interacting with the API
• To use custom packages to add functionality
• Real world projects that benefited from Dynamo

We will look at the model checks, such as clash check, steel construction technical check. Then we will move to check that the steelwork has been modelled as we are going to fabricate it, we will check that everything is connected in the workshop as we want it. If there are any assemblies that are not connected correctly, we will look at how we can investigate what welds are causing the issue.

Subassemblies in AutoCAD Civil 3D are great, and I often think that they are underused. However, sometimes they don’t always answer your questions exactly as you need. Additionally, for those achieving BIM level 2, you want to be able to generate your Codes to achieve the level of information required. Thankfully, there is a tool all Civil 3D users have that can help; Autodesk Subassembly Composer.

In this Webinar we will focus on the workflow from identifying a problem to solve, through planning and preparation and then to create your own Subassemblies:

• Understanding Subassemblies
• Finding solutions to problems – What’s in the Civil 3D box
• Code Sets, what are they and how do I make them work for me
• Planning a new Subassembly
• Sketches, data requirements, properties and codes
• Creating a new Subassembly
• In Civil 3D
• In Subassembly Composer
• Adding your new Subassembly to Civil 3D
