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 all about AutoCAD Lighting, Materials, Textures, and
Rendering commands. We'll take several typical architectural models and
create finished photo-realistic images.

Abstract:
Do you need to create renderings of your architectural projects? This
class continues our discussion of 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.

Abstract:
Are you ready to take the next step and use building information
modeling to share data across the entire design team? As more people
adopt BIM, the need for sharing data and information across disciplines
has become increasingly critical. In this class, we will look at how the
Revit platform facilitates collaboration and coordination among
architects and engineers. We'll examine how to link project files
between Revit Architecture, Revit Structure, and Revit MEP, coordinate
work between disciplines, identify and correct interferences, and use
Revit's revision tracking to keep track of changes.

Abstract:
Do you find it confusing that you draw everything full-size in AutoCAD,
but when it comes to text and annotations, you've got to think about the
scale at which the drawing will eventually be plotted? Well, no more.
The Annotation Scaling functionality in AutoCAD lets you create text,
dimensions, hatch patterns, and other annotation objects that
automatically change their size and placement to match the scale of the
viewport. In other words, annotation scale is now automated. See how
easy it is to apply annotation properties to text, dimensions, leaders,
tolerances, blocks, attributes, and hatches. In this class you will
learn everything you need to know to create annotation styles and apply
annotation scales to layout viewports and model space. The annotation
scaling tools can save you hours of time previously spent calculating
scale factors, and creating, editing, and managing drawing annotations
at multiple scales.

Abstract:
Do you need to create room finish schedules, parts lists, and bills of
materials? For years, AutoCAD users have been creating tables for use as
parts lists, bills of materials, schedules, and so on, by either
laboriously creating them manually or extracting attribute data to an
external file and then importing it back into AutoCAD. But this is no
longer necessary. Learn how to use new tools in AutoCAD to extract
attribute data directly to an AutoCAD table, and update those tables
automatically when changes occur. You'll also learn how to perform
calculations on table data directly within AutoCAD and how to link
AutoCAD and Excel data into a single table that can be updated
automatically. Now you can create accurate, easy-to-update data, saving
you time and money.

Do you need to exchange drawings and collaborate with others who don't
use Autodesk products like AutoCAD, Inventor, or Revit? Learn how to
publish AutoCAD drawings as DWF files and then collaborate using
Autodesk Design Review. This class covers creating DWF files, using
Autodesk Design Review to view, measure and mark up those DWF files, and
then use AutoCAD's 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.

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.

If you want a highly practical introduction to web publishing that will
focus on AutoCAD-based content, this class is for you. Learn all about
the tools available to you for web-enabling AutoCAD drawings. You'll see
how to add and manage hyperlinks in AutoCAD drawings, save drawings as
design web format (DWF) files, create i-drop content, and incorporate it
all into custom-designed web pages. This class includes actual HTML
coding and practical real-world examples.

Functional Wall Fundamentals
(BD31-5) – originally presented at Autodesk University 2006
Abstract:
It's time to move beyond the basics of two lines and create real walls.
First, we'll cover the elements that make up the properties of a wall.
Then we will look at how to create new wall types with internal details
and fully defined materials. There's more to walls than you might think.
This class will cover all the essential fundamentals to making your
Revit walls fully functional.

Abstract:
Roofs are one of
the most complex architectural elements to model, but with Revit you can
create just about any type of roof. This class will explore the best methods
for creating various types of roofs using all the tools in Revit. We’ll look
at complex roofs with varying pitch, offset plate heights, ridge and valley
control, dormers, flat roofs, and more. You’ll also learn how to create
roofs with varying thickness using shape editing tools. Whether you design
residential or commercial buildings, you’ll learn new techniques you can
immediately put to use in Revit.

AutoCAD has evolved considerably over recent years to become a powerful
3D design application. In this class, you'll explore new and enhanced
AutoCAD functionality that enables you to apply your existing 2D AutoCAD
experience to the visual world of 3D modeling. Learn how to take your
design ideas from concept to completion by creating and editing solid
primitive objects. Create smooth, free-form shapes with new mesh tools.
Control selection and editing with sub-object selection filters and 3D
gizmos. In addition to exploring these basic 3D tools, you'll learn
valuable tips and tricks for navigating and visualizing your AutoCAD
model. If you thought 3D in AutoCAD was just too hard, think again.

Abstract:
Modeling in 3D is fine, but
eventually, you need to produce 2D drawings. In this class, you’ll learn
about tools in AutoCAD® that let you quickly take 3D models and
represent them in 2D to create orthographic, section, and detail views.
Discover which methods let you quickly update your 2D views when the 3D
model changes. We’ll look at each tool and consider the pros and cons of
each to develop best-practices suited to your particular needs. Don’t
draw it twice; leverage the power of 3D to create your 2D drawings.

Who said you can't produce details in Revit? This class will provide
those people wrong! We will look at creating details directly in Revit
and how to use details in Revit that were originally created in AutoCAD
or ADT. Then you'll learn how to add details to a set of Revit documents
so that Revit can automatically manage all of the callouts and detail
references to create a completely coordinated set of construction
documents. We'll also learn how to put the details in the details, with
a look at Revit's dimensioning and keynoting capabilities.
