The profound shift toward flexible work in recent years has significantly changed the way we use buildings. Owners and operators are under immense pressure to support the core business and achieve sustainability targets while keeping costs down, but most lack the big-picture utilization data they need to inform short- and long-term portfolio planning. Using proprietary worktech data, we've analyzed global trends in workspace and physical asset use over the past several quarters to identify emerging patterns in operations and occupant behaviors. The analysis uncovers four preeminent tensions businesses are navigating in today's workplaces. Session participants will learn what changes are occurring across three core regions (Americas, EMEA, and APAC), and how organizations are leveraging this information alongside dynamic building models to meet goals at all phases of the building life cycle.

Although industry has changed with digital transformation, the outputs delivered at handover to safely maintain and operate an asset remain widely the same. The reality is that handover data accuracy and delivery formats can vary dramatically, often making it difficult to adopt in operation without wasting time and money reformatting. While handover information has evolved from paper to somewhat digital (PDF, COBie, and IFC, for example), we still see common errors at handover. One reason is that our authoring tool databases can't easily deliver these standard formats. So, what if we could keep models data light? What if the person with the knowledge rather than the software skills could input directly into a connected data pool? What if we could see a history of design and construction information at handover? This class will show you how Perkins&Will is working to deliver, via a centralized platform, connected data sets that are open, flexible, structured, reusable, and extensible.

The steady ascent of powerful building information modeling (BIM) environments has made 3D modeling the unrivaled industry standard for building design professionals. But how do you critically evaluate whether your structural engineering team is keeping pace with industry standards? In today's rapidly evolving landscape, BIM usage for structural engineering production intersects with analysis and design, interdisciplinary coordination, documentation, construction administration, and beyond. Awareness of both current mainstream practices and emergent technologies is critically important for structural teams to remain competitive and vibrant. This class will take you inside the daily BIM workflows of an industry-leading structural engineering firm. In this session, we'll cover practical use of Revit software for structural projects, we'll explore use of innovative structural design tools that integrate with the Autodesk BIM ecosystem, and we'll examine actual case studies of successful projects using these approaches.

Discover how implementing building information modeling (BIM) innovative concepts in design and build projects can greatly improve project efficiency and accuracy. By using the latest construction technologies such as mixed reality, LiDAR scans, and parametric design, construction teams can better visualize and plan projects, reducing errors in the construction phase. This class will showcase practical examples through projects delivered by LEVIATAN and UBITECH, major engineering offices in Romania that use Autodesk and GRAITEC software. Additionally, the use of these technologies can increase safety on construction sites and reduce the amount of time required to complete projects. Ultimately, these benefits lead to improved quality, reduced costs, and better outcomes for both construction teams and clients.

Data Exchange is a powerful neutral format you can use to store a subset of your design models in the cloud. Teams can easily use Data Exchange to share design data between Revit software, Rhino, Inventor software, Civil 3D software, and other authoring software through Autodesk Docs using connectors. This class will explore the capabilities of Dynamo and Grasshopper connectors to build interoperable workflows between applications and systems to share and receive graphical and metadata. You'll learn the step-by-step process of setting up connectors in Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit, and Rhino. Using the connectors, users will be able to easily create, update, and manage data exchanges between authoring software to share the model geometry and property data. You can use Dynamo and Grasshopper Connector nodes to retrieve available data exchanges, receive and send data exchanges, and convert them to geometries and parameters via the DxData object.

This talk will be about real-time, city-scale data visualization, analytics, computation, and simulation in Unreal Engine. We'll demonstrate real-world examples where complex master-planning data sets from multiple stakeholders were integrated to build an immersive digital twin platform in Unreal Engine. You'll learn how the outcome facilitated stakeholder engagement and collaboration and the ability to explore what-if scenarios of the urban development. Materials and textures application and rendering were automated, enabling application of different materials composition to city infrastructure and buildings to provide a realistic feel of the urban context. The speed of the real-time rendering was a masterpiece of computational geometry application to achieve automated processes.

This case study will explore the first-ever commercial drone operations permitted within the rim of the Grand Canyon, and how the imagery captured was used to inform a critical water infrastructure project. Grand Canyon National Park, in Northern Arizona, is considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world. It encompasses an impressive 278 miles of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands and averages more than 10 miles wide. To support work to modernize the Grand Canyon Water System—which serves thousands of residents and millions of annual visitors—we used drones, surveying, and LiDAR technology to acquire high-resolution orthomosaic images and point clouds. In this digital transformation success story, we also employed Autodesk tools such as AutoCAD Civil, ReCap, Revit, and other Autodesk products.

Increasing need for data and AI is creating unprecedented demand for data-center capacity, while social and regulatory pressure demands reduced energy and water consumption. Serial hyperscale, co- location, and "edge" clients are driving innovation in design and industrialization, using digital libraries of configurable, scalable solutions for repeatable, standardized designs that can be amended to suit local codes and site constraints. Benefits include that solutions capture and optimize for a wide range of stakeholder needs. In addition, creating rules-based relationships allows design automation, and site-specific designs are created in hours. The approach facilitates supply chain input—using standard products reduces lead times and alleviates pressure on suppliers. Individual elements can be refined "offline" and reintroduced when ready—critical for bringing in new technology for cooling and decarbonization without total redesign. Automotive does this well, leading to continual improvement, not constant reinvention.

The new laboratory and research building is expected to be completed by 2028. A critical foundation for success is the model-based collaboration of the involved disciplines from planning and implementation. For this, interdisciplinary and process-spanning collaboration was organized and established with the suitable common data environment to efficiently design the participants' processes and automate them as much as possible.

Utilities, retailers, hospital operators, towercos, and other companies may need to digitalize large portfolios with thousands of existing facilities to complete their digital journeys—either to fully benefit from building information modeling (BIM) in design and construction or as a first step for the creation of their digital twins. Those same companies typically have an inventory database that is either incorrect or incomplete, but that has value nonetheless, since it may be used to connect said assets with other enterprise solutions, including maintenance and operations management. In this technical instruction session, we will present a workflow for the end-to-end digitalization of a portfolio of facilities using a component-based approach. This workflow starts with any existing inventory, uses it in Autodesk Construction Cloud Assets and Forms to capture on-site data, then switches to Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro software and Autodesk Docs software for the intelligent modeling of the facilities, and then again moves back to the Assets functionality for audit and validation.
