Classes by Industry Sustainablilty Tools for Revit® Architecture: The IES Sustainability Toolkit Plug-in AB114-6 02-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm Imagine as an architect that you could design a building, and from the earliest conceptual stages, you could understand how it would perform and operate from an energy standpoint once it was built. How would your design evolve if you could compare different scenarios, and test the design consequences at the touch of a button? Even better, imagine you could perform all of these analyses right inside Revit Architecture— no exports, no model re-creation in a third-party application— just a selection from your Revit Architecture toolbar. All of this is now possible with the Sustainability Toolkit from IES. This session will discuss the Sustainability Toolkit, which is an exclusive plug-in for Revit Architecture, allowing you to incorporate sustainable choices directly into your Revit model—right from the Revit toolbar. We will demonstrate the features and commands of the Sustainability Toolkit, as well as suggested workflows. 90-Minute Panel Intermediate Lando 4205 Jason Dougherty, Director of BIM Implementation | Microsol Resources Corporation Carbon, Weather and Water—How Autodesk® Green Building Studio® Fits into Sustainable Design Practices AB310-4 04-Dec-08 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm This session will provide information on how sustainability requirements fundamentally change the design responsibilities and workflow. New skills and tools are required to facilitate the design of low carbon green buildings. This session will provide background on climate change and water efficiency issues, make the case for the use of analytic tools and data early in the design process, and demonstrate how Revit® and GBS interact to help designers answer critical questions. Use of the Autodesk Green Building Studio web service will be demonstrated and there will be plenty of time for Q&A. 90-Minute Class All Levels Delfino 4105 Pat Bailey, | Autodesk Creating Highly Effective Dynamic Blocks for Architects and Interior Designers AB310-3 04-Dec-08 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Dynamic Blocks are a wonderful addition to the AutoCAD® and AutoCAD Architecture tool set for Architects, Interior Designers and related technical staff. This class focuses on incorporating Dynamic Blocks specifically into your practice to provide ready-made solutions for fast, highly efficient drafting and design. For many people, creating Dynamic Blocks is complicated and hard to understand, but this does not need to be the case. This class will show you how to use several common techniques for creating Dynamic Blocks in an A/ID context to solve a myriad of common design and documentation problems across all of your drawing types. We will also cover how to use Dynamic Blocks in conjunction with the AutoCAD Architecture Project Navigator, linking fields inside your block to your project’s data intelligently and easily. 90-Minute Class Intermediate Marcello 4401 Matthew Stachoni, CAD Manager | Bernardon Haber Holloway Architects PC Collaboration and Large Project BIM Implementation with Revit® AB314-1P 04-Dec-08 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm This presentation will demonstrate the challenges faced when coordinating large projects in multiple technologies and multiple offices where BIM documentation in Revit is the leading focus. We will explore how approaching Revit with careful coordination of project managers, architects, engineers, and IT managers, combined with the reorganization of traditional team dynamics, can result in a successful Revit project. In this session, you will learn critical things to remember when working on large projects in Revit and a few essential model-management procedures that include how to potentially prevent or respond to “low on virtual memory” warnings. 90-Minute Class All Levels Palazzo E-G Elizabeth Chodosh, Digital Design Coordinator | KlingStubbins Detailing in Revit® Architecture AB310-1P 04-Dec-08 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm Part of creating a successful building information model is knowing what to build into the model and what to apply as supplemental information or graphical embellishment. When it comes to graphical embellishment, Revit Architecture offers a powerful suite of detailing tools. This session will explore the process of extracting views from your model and then detailing them within Revit Architecture. You will learn about model views and drafting views. You’ll gain understanding on when to model, when to draft, and when to import graphics from other CAD programs. We’ll cover detail components, drafting elements, symbolic lines, text, annotation, and keynotes. If you still believe the myth that you can’t do construction documents in Revit Architecture, then join us in the this session of “myth busting” as we explore the complete detailing process in Revit Architecture. 90-Minute Class Introductory Palazzo E-G Paul Aubin, Author/Consultant | Paul F. Aubin Consulting Services 15 Autodesk Inventor®: The Best Tool for Difficult Architectural Details AB310-5 04-Dec-08 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm This session will provide eye-opening techniques and methods for developing difficult architectural details using Autodesk Inventor. What usually takes hours or days using other software can be done in minutes. Previously viewed as a mechanical-only tool, Inventor has proven time and again that it is the best asset for the architectural community. This session will provide a best practice approach with many real world examples. You will learn techniques that will shorten the entire design to fabrication process, develop methods that work the first time, learn which standards and libraries are important and why, and learn how to coexist with other software tools. “Emphasis:” Round Trip Autodesk Revit & Autodesk Architecture! 90-Minute Class Introductory Marcello 4402 Steven Widom, CTO | Widom Associates
