Working Together: BIM-based Project Collaboration (AB114-5)
Abstract:
Collaboration between project teams can be overwhelming. Building project teams consist of architects, engineers, consultants, owners, and contractors. How do they all work together? This session looks at data exchange between members of the design/construction team. We'll investigate how team members can collaborate using the entire family of Revit Software—Architecture, Structure, and MEP—as well as using other Autodesk and third-party software tools..Get the PowerPoint presentation 2680KB

Collaborative Use of DWF Files and Autodesk Design Review (CD211-1)
Abstract:
Do you need to exchange drawings and collaborate with others who don't use Autodesk products like AutoCAD or Revit? Learn how to publish AutoCAD drawings as DWF files and then collaboratively use Autodesk Design Review. Learn to create DWF files, use Design Review to view, measure, and mark up those DWF files, and then use the AutoCAD Markup Set Manager to view and respond to those markups in a seamless collaboration process. This class will also illustrate how this same process works with other Autodesk products such as Revit and Inventor.Get the PowerPoint presentation 1406KB

Rendering and Animation Techniques in 3D AutoCAD for Architecture, Part I (GD219-2P-5)
Abstract:
Do you need to create renderings of your architectural projects? Learn how to convert 3D drawings into finished, professional-looking renderings using the tools already built into AutoCAD. In this class, you'll learn about the AutoCAD lighting, Materials, Textures, and Rendering commands, as well as the controls in the AutoCAD Render Dashboard. We'll take several typical architectural models and create finished photorealistic images.Get the PowerPoint presentation 1962KB

Rendering and Animation in 3D AutoCAD for Architecture, Part II (GD305-2P)
Abstract:
This class continues our discussion on converting 3D architectural drawings into finished, professional-looking renderings using the tools already built into AutoCAD. In this class, you'll learn how to place Cameras and create views, render to the screen, save renderings to a file, and redisplay rendered images. We'll also learn how to create animations using the AutoCAD Walkthrough and Flythrough tools.Get the PowerPoint presentation 8713KB
