Software subscription may be a necessary evil to keep you up to date with the latest updates, service packs and versions of the products you use, but there are also more benefits to doing so.

In this webinar we will look at:

• The add-ins you have access to which come as part of your subscription.
• How these add-ins are found
• Look at some of the features of these add-ins including the Graitec Powerpack for Revit

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

This class will to explore how Revit and Advance steel can be used in conjunction to create models and fabrication drawings for modular buildings. With more and more fabrication being done offsite this webinar will run through the workflows available in the AEC collection.

We will look at creating Revit Structural families to ensure correct transfer to Advance Steel, modelling the steel connections within Revit and finally exporting our model to Advance Steel to create the workshop drawings. We will also discuss different workflows and the benefits of starting in Revit or Advance Steel and when it is best to transfer.

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.

As a design tool Revit is widely known and used throughout the industry. It was created with the intent for design professionals to be able to carry out their work.

It contains many bespoke tools and styles to help create a digitally constructed building… but, do they match your own styles and drafting principles? Is it able to show me the information you need in your schedules? Does it contain the right amount of information to allow you to start and carry out your work in the most productive and efficient way?

In this webinar, we will discuss the do’s and don’ts of Revit Templates. We will cover;

• How much information should you hold in a template
• Utilising Project Parameters
• View Templates
• Project Browser Organisation
• View styles
• Title Blocks
• Your Revit Library
• And many more

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

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

This webinar will focus on the collaboration between Plant 3D and Advance Steel and the functionality of both these software products.

In this hour session you can discover how to replicate your Plant 3D support library within Advance Steel for easier collaboration of steel fabrication. We will look at making use of the P3D library as the source for the Advance Steel special parts, turning these into supports within AS, along with using Standard steel profiles.

We will then go on to integrating these within custom connections and storing them as custom connection templates with some of the custom connection macro elements. This allows users to adjust from the default to suit the site locations and variables.

Finally, we will link this into numbering and use of standard part numbering, BOM and document outputs.

Topics we will be covering include:

1. Transfer of P3D Elements Dual Riser, Pipe supports, to Advance Steel
2. Creation in Advance Steel as a Special part and how to build a library of parts
3. How to add these special parts to create Standard part referencing codes/numbers
4. How to add the special parts with Standard part numbering into a custom connection
5. How to show on a BOM output from Advance steel and drawing presentation

Within the architecture, engineering and construction industry, it’s becoming an increasingly popular option to have the freedom to run software like AutoCAD, Revit and Inventor etc from any browser and any device, anywhere.

While software makes this possible, the industry has been moving to a Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) model which runs desktop operating systems inside virtual machines on servers in a cloud provider’s data center.

We recently held a webinar with hyperconverged industry leader Nutanix which explained how they are adopting a multi-cloud approach to Desktop-as-a-Service with their new product Xi Frame. Xi Frame leverages Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) (on premise infrastructure) to host Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) (running desktop applications in the cloud).

Join us at their offices in London on 30th September to take Nutanix Frame for a test drive and see how it:

• Enables secure mobility
• Provides easy scalability
• Is accessible from any browser and any device
• Is available on-premise or in the cloud (private or public)
• Hosts your applications
• Connects with your files

You’ll also have the opportunity to meet with specialists from Nutanix and network with your industry peers. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Join us for our popular “Working with Timber in Advance Steel” webinar.

Although Advance Steel is primarily a steel detailing software it’s not just steelwork we can model. In this webinar Rob will run through various modelling techniques to get timber into your model.

We will look at structural timber, glulam beam and columns and how we can model custom connections to connect to the steel frame. Then we will move onto looking at packing steel beams with timber and finally we will look at the drawing output and what can be achieved with customised drawing styles.
