In this instruction demo, we’ll explore the built-in Fusion Lifecycle App Store. We’ll take an in-depth look at what apps are available, how to preview their contents, and what needs to be done to make them work in your tenant. Once you select install, the journey just begins, and we’ll walk through the steps of configuring the workspace(s) installed in your tenant. From setting the roles and permissions, to understanding the scripts, to reverse engineering the workflows, we’ll cover everything you need to know and do to make these out-of-the-cloud workspaces work in your tenant. We’ll also cover how to remove App Store workspaces, if you decide to not use one.

Gone are the days of relying solely upon in-situ mock-ups to generate issues and drive decision-making. With the emergence of the virtual mock-up and virtual reality solutions, mock-ups can now be generated much earlier in the coordination process, thus saving you time and money by driving the conversation earlier in the design phase. The purpose of this class is to demonstrate how utilizing lean construction methods and various tools (Navisworks software, Revit software, AutoCAD software, and 3ds Max software) coupled with virtual reality tools can enable you to guide the design and owner groups into making meaningful and educated design changes early in the design phase. Through the review of multiple case studies we will demonstrate the cost-benefit analysis of each type of mock-up, as well as determine which types of information we can obtain from each.

Autodesk industry partners CSC and Design Data have combined their expertise to deliver a consistent Building Information Modeling (BIM) process for the entire design of steel structures. This process links CSC Fastrak, Autodesk Revit Structure, and Design Data SDS/2 Connect software. We will demonstrate how a full code-compliant design of the steel structure can be produced in Fastrak, which can be synchronized with both Revit Structure, for the creation of BIM documentation, and with SDS/2 Connect, for the full design and detailing of the steel connections. The fully designed Revit model can then be exported to SDS/2 Detailing software for the creation of the fabrication model. Integration between Fastrak, SDS/2 Connect and Revit Structure is a powerful solution for the steel industry. Bridging the information gap between design and fabrication shortens timelines, enhances project communication, and ultimately reduces project costs.

Intended for structural engineers, this class covers an integrated process for the rapid analysis of complete concrete buildings and the detailed design of concrete floor and foundation systems modeled in Autodesk Revit Structure software. We will demonstrate a workflow through a step-by-step process of extracting concrete building information from a Revit model, creating a 3D finite element model of the building, and generating structural analysis results—all within minutes and without having to first fine-tune an analytical model. Analysis results include member forces, floor system deflections, building modal vibration responses, and load takedowns. This process saves time and gives engineers an easy method for quickly checking the structural response of concrete models. The class will also cover options that are available to carry out detailed design of the concrete floor and foundation systems of any building. We will use the latest concrete building design software from ADAPT and Revit Structure in this class.

Automatic drawing creation is a dream of everyone. Imagine selection options into a spreadsheet and having schematics appear before your eyes. Is this possible? Yes! Using the Spreadsheet to PLC tool in AutoCAD Electrical software can get you most of the way there. Don’t be fooled by the name of the tool; we can create more than just PLC-type drawings—almost any type of ladder-style schematic drawing can be created entirely from information in a spreadsheet. We’ll take you behind the curtain to show you how.

Roundabouts are popping up all over the place. They're becoming commonplace in our transportation projects. Yet many engineers and technicians are finding them quite complex to design. With so many moving parts and factors to consider, it can be rather tricky to create a roundabout that is safe, easy on traffic, and properly draining. This is where the new roundabout tool in Vehicle Tracking software (AVT) from Autodesk, Inc., comes into play. It contains a powerful roundabout design tool that generates a fully dynamic corridor, not just 2D alignments. It sets up baselines, regions, targets, and so on, all for you, and it gives you the ability to modify the design afterwards. This class will take a deep dive into this toolset, exposing its pros and cons and teaching you how the software can improve your roundabout design processes.

This class is about the process of making an assembly model that is built by iLogic codes. It will demonstrate the steps of automation, and how the iLogic component should be used to reduce errors of the assemblies. We're a team of 4 people who almost always work solely on coding, and we've reached an area where iLogic is fully saturated. In this class, you'll be able to understand why you have to rebuild and update your assemblies in order to get your iLogic code working again. We've found a way-what we believe to be one of the best ways to create an assembly with 500-plus unique parts. This class is not suitable for beginners, as it will be showing real-life examples of how our algorithms work their ways around the "non-starting rules." In this lesson you will also learn how to program your Content Center Libraries with a delicate touch.
