I am honored to have
been selected to speak at Autodesk University for the 6th year in a row. This
year I will be presenting two sessions.
- Schedules: Beyond the Basics
- If you can model it, you can schedule it. Using schedules in Autodesk® Revit software is a powerful way of viewing the information in your Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects. Most users create basic schedules and have a good understanding of how to create schedules. What most users do not know is some of the more powerful features of schedules. This class will explore some of the lesser-known aspects of creating schedules, such as creating embedded schedules, using conditional formatting in schedules, and understanding key schedules. We will also dive into shared and project parameters and how to use them in calculated formulas.
- Who Owns That - Best Practices for Coordinating All
Disciplines
- Let’s face it there are many elements in our Revit
models that are re-modeled by the Architect, MEP and/or Structural
Engineers. Who model it initially? Who owns it? Is Copy/Monitored being
used? These types of questions should always be asked. Items such as
columns, girds, ceilings, lights, plumbing fixtures, structural walls,
floors, and roofs are usually populated in both the architectural model
and the engineers’ models. This session will discuss the proper workflows
between Architects and Engineers and how to model elements that have both
architectural and engineering needs. Learn how to share the information
of these elements without having to duplicate the geometry. . Sometimes
knowing when and how to share elements will eliminate the need to have
ownership of elements. Learning to create the proper workflow and
families will ensure that collaboration is being achieved on your BIM
projects.
It is not too early to
begin planning for this great event. Registration opens September 5,
2012.
