AU 2009 - There Is No "I" in Team by Ron Palma & Paul Hristov

“This year, Autodesk has selected six members of the Ideate technical team to present seven classes at AU. We are thrilled to have so many of our expert staff members invited,” says Bob Palioca, President, Ideate, Inc.

There Is No "I" in Team
This class focuses on some common issues between different building disciplines when collaborating to form a building information model using different software such as AutoCAD, Autodesk Civil 3D, Ecotect, Navisworks, and Revit. Topics include importing the site design, orienting the building, and sharing coordinates for better cooperation; methods toward better collaboration in a multidisciplinary team will be discussed; utilizing the model in analysis programs such as Ecotect to make better design decisions; and lastly, using Navisworks to identify changes/conflicts in the model and employ 4D techniques for better project management.

Primary software: Autodesk Navisworks

Other Software: AutoCAD, AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Civil 3D, AutoCAD MEP, Autodesk Ecotect, Revit Architecture, Revit MEP
