AU2008 - Digital Fabrication Survey

Help Shape the Future of Digital Fabrication
This year, Autodesk University attendees will have the opportunity to participate in an important new initiative dedicated to helping define the trends that are shaping some of the latest advancements in the building product and fabrication industry.

The building product and fabrication industry is accelerating its use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and Digital Prototyping processes to deliver better predictability and control, from design though fabrication. Advancements in technology are allowing companies to greatly improve productivity, better manage change throughout a project’s lifecycle, and create truly innovative buildings.

With this change, a new industry trend is emerging – Digital Fabrication. As BIM and Digital Prototyping increasingly drive the development of Digital Fabrication, the roles of both designers and fabricators will change dramatically.

Autodesk is kicking off a long-term customer research program at this year’s Autodesk University focused around the needs of Digital Fabrication customers. The goal of this program is to better understand the workflows and tools designers and fabricators employ to drive successful projects that leverage BIM and the custom fabrication of building components.

If you have a desire to make a difference, and have experience in driving building fabrication or building components into building design, we’d like to hear from you. To take part in this important effort, either while attending Autodesk University or in the future, please complete this short application no later than Friday, November 21, 2008.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Zjo3PRYt5wzHTSx9BDk7Og_3d_3d

We’ll be contacting successful applicants in the coming weeks with more details about this important initiative.

We thank you for your time, and look forward to working with you.

Respectfully,

The Autodesk Digital Fabrication Team

AU 2008 - HNTB Sessions

Another class that HNTB Architecture was asked to present (two weeks ago I believe) is:

AB314-3 Custom Stairs and Railings in Revit Architecture

In this session, students will learn how to create families for posts, balusters, panels, railings, and stair nosing. Focusing on design for high-end commercial and residential projects, this class will dive directly into the use of the Family Editor to physically build the components needed. Once the families are established, the class will move to Assembly in the project to expose the difficulties designers face. The commercial portion of the class will cover extruded steel with glass panels; the residential portion will cover custom handrails and raised panels. You’ll also learn how to design winding and spiral staircases, as well as how to create custom materials with wood hatching that you can apply to the stair components to give the stairs and railings your personal touch.

Since we did not originally propose this class, Phil Read, Todd Williams and I have taken a little creative liberty to change the ciriculum a little. We will be focusing on:

Introduction

UI / Understanding the Dialog Boxes (what they do)
Images and Notes
General Best Practices
Maintain Detail Level
Start Generic>Move to Specific
Copy Paste
Stair / Railing Template
Leverage Other Projects

Conventional Custom Stairs with the Stair Tool

AU 2008 Class Highlights

For those attending AU 2008, I thought I would post some classes that I think are interesting. Horrible Hacks is going to be a very interesting classes with Steve Mintz, Sean Burke and Bob DeFeo. I have promised not to release any advanced information or tips from the class, but I will throw this out (sorry Steve). If you are working on projects that routinely require you to create multi-segmented grids, you want to attend this class. Steve is going to demonstrate a very elegant solution to a problem that Autodesk should have fixed many releases ago.

“Horrible Hacks™” 

(and Other Tips & Tricks for Revit® Power Users) 

Steve Mintz, P.E.  – Revit Structure Technical Consultant 

Sean Burke, Assoc. AIA  – Revit Architecture Technical Consultant

AU 2008 - HNTB Sessions

I am not sure what it is at HNTB Architecture and Autodesk University, but we seem to get asked to do classes at the last minute. One of the classes will be on "Autodesk and Virtualization: A Discussion of Best Practices and First Hand User Experiences".

If you are interested, here is some additional information.

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM December 4, 2008
Location: Casanova 604

Hi All -

FYI - this was posted in the AUGI forums as well in order to raise awareness
and generate interest at AU2008. Hope to see you there. - Phil

---------------------

If you're experienced (or just really interested) in virtualized solutions
for Autodesk's suite of design tools:

AU Unplugged - The AU Unconference:
Topic: "Autodesk and Virtualization: A Discussion of Best Practices and
First Hand User Experiences"
Hosted by: Phil Read, Vice President | Director of Technology
HNTB Architecture
When:2pm-2.50pm, Thursday December, 4th
Where: Casanova 604

Details:
Recent advances in virtualization has legitimized our ability to run
Autodesk’s suite of design applications in virtual environments. And in
addition to Parallels and VM Ware, Sun has recently introduced their
VirtualBox solution!

AU2007 introduced “Running Revit in Virtualization.” But it’s not just about
Revit anymore. If you look at the AUGI forums it becomes obvious that many
of Autodesk's solutions are being run in virtualization. So I’m suggesting
that we put our heads together and figure it out for the benefit of each
other and Autodesk:

* What industries are running Autodesk’s solutions in virtualization? AEC?
Automotive? Manufacturing?
* Revit? Inventor? Max? AutoCAD?
* What are the Host OS's? Apple / Linux / Windows?
* VM Solutions? VMWare / Parallels / Sun
* Overall Pros and Cons?
* Settings / Hardware / Connectivity / Configurations
* Finally: Best Practices and real-world production experience from real end
users.

Hope to see you all there!

Phil

AU 2008 Sessions

Registration for AU 2008 has already begun and of course I am more than a little late in posting the course listings.

Personally, I am both pleased and disappointed with the classes offered this year. I am glad that we are getting some new content. This will be my fourth AU and it seems like the majority of the classes each year are repeats. I am disappointed because there is a definite lack of Advanced classes this year and some of the "seasoned" AU speakers that have a wealth of knowledge are not speaking this year. Personally, I am not concerned Phil Read is not speaking (I hear him probably 6 days a week), but James V. from SOM has a lot of knowledge and always puts on a great class. He is just one of many.

Ok, I will get off my soapbox now. Below is the Power Track for Building Design. For me, the one class that is an absolute must is SE0404-1P Horrible Hacks. Class will be taught by Steve Mintz of Autodesk Consulting. Really bright guy and this is a class you have to attend if you are a Revit Structure user and should be on the list if you are using Architecture or MEP.
