Autodesk University 2019 Las Vegas - Class Selected

I received word yesterday that I will again have the opportunity to present at Autodesk University in Las Vegas.


Course Title:The New Game in Town; Link a Civil 3D Surface in Revit thru BIM 360!
Course Description:Learn about the amazing new feature set and workflow Autodesk unveiled in the 2019.1 update for both AutoCAD Civil 3D and Revit. See how a user, who first saw this feature/workflow at an Inside the Factory - Live in Shanghai, China in 2016, and then implemented this on many large complex projects, including a nearly massive hospital project located on a complex site. This session will cover the feature, the workflow and the challenges encountered. This presentation will also cover working with in-house survey for existing conditions, as well as in-house civil engineers on proposed conditions.
What's going to be fun, is one of the Autodesk product designers will be joining me from Autodesk's Shanghai office.

Of course, this story starts in Civil 3D... using the new workflow to "Publish" a surface to BIM 360.


Keep reading to learn more...

Then we arrive at Revit... and link, yes I said link, the topo in. Look how accurate the toposurface geometry is in the example shown in the image below! When setup up correctly, we can even pull Northing / Easting numbers right out of the Revit site model.


There are many things to talk about once the surface is in Revit. Towards the end we will even fire up Enscape and see how beautiful the results are in a real-time rendering engine!


Here is a post I wrote about this new feature and workflow:
Also, this link has some photos from Inside the Factory in Shanghai China, at Autodesk's offices there.
If you are involved in survey, civil or architecture and work with Civil 3D and/or Revit you will not want to miss this session!
