In this presentation, we'll look at managing Autodesk Fabrication service and profiles to use the content flexibility that Revit provides. We will explore how to quickly set up a new profile with services designed to get the model started with minimal information. We will discuss what to include in the services, what should instead be added to the parts tab as needed, and how this expedites project startup and allows for quality control checking. We will go over what services should be included in a new profile and how that allows for "on the fly" changing of material and connection types in the model. We will explore a method of creating and tracking customized services and specifications within a profile. And we will discuss using "reload configuration" as a quality control check. All of this will lead to a faster, leaner, more productive workflow.

Today's structural engineers struggle to consider the holistic constructability of a structure; including how their steel framing decisions impact connection design complexity, erectability, and material availability. Their lack of influence is exacerbated when structural engineers delegate connection design to the fabricator, since design changes in the preconstruction stage are challenging to implement. The impact of this leads to RFIs and change orders that result in cost overruns, excess carbon, and schedule drift. This session will cover how WSP, a leading engineering firm and innovator in the steel industry, delivers early connected steel models to overcome these challenges. By incorporating connection design early in the project timeline, WSP delivers highly detailed 3D models to ensure greater cost and schedule certainty.

We've added the capability to calculate flow in Fabrication in Revit 2024 software. But how did we do this? Revit has introduced a new way to calculate flow and pressure drop. In this session, we will show you how you can achieve real-world scenarios in Revit. Come and see how the new solver provides more opportunities to use flow within Revit (fabrication elements, parallel flow, bypass, and loops).

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) subcontractors are critical stakeholders in the AECMO built environment. We face a combination of cost pressures, skills and materials scarcity, and a journey toward digitalization. While the convergence of construction and manufacturing challenges us with new ways of working—including industrialized construction, building product componentization, and informed design—our building information modeling (BIM)-to-fabrication workflows must adapt. New Revit integrations and cloud-based fabrication workflows on a common data environment (CDE) for outcomes of connected construction and sustainability are critical. This panel of MEP contractors and experts will discuss insights of transformational BIM-to-fabrication-to-field workflows. The panel will show how streamlined workflows enable factory automation, data matrix tracking, and innovative remote machine operation using AR/VR technology. Learn how to make this your reality, not just a dream.

This session will provide attendees with insight into the innovative cloud-based reporting solution MEPTrack. MEPTrack was designed to use complex data available for consumption in MEP fabrication solutions, and present it in an intuitive and user-friendly cloud environment—facilitating management of MEP systems and their associated components, and enabling granular tracking of workflow progress. Information can then be shared among trade partners, project managers, field operatives, and other stakeholders for full progress transparency.

In this talk, we will dive deeply into how ongoing technological strides are revolutionizing building services engineering and enabling new event-driven design workflows. We will explore innovative automation tools, including visual programming and SaaS platforms, that are not only enhancing the efficiency and precision of MEP designs, but are also promoting a more integrative and dynamic approach to engineering challenges by capturing engineering knowledge, as well as the data that drives it. This presentation will also emphasize the transformative potential of fileless data architecture through the power of federated GraphQL APIs, Neo4j graph databases, and Autodesk Forma software. These advanced technologies facilitate a seamless, real-time flow of information, adapting dynamically to changes and ensuring that every component within a project is consistently synchronized with a single source of design information.

We all know the advantages of using Revit software for modeling and design, but when it comes to getting your MEP fabrication documents generated from the model, you better have a plan. Creating assembly drawings is a great tool, but too many of them and your model will come to a crawl. Modular fabrication and design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) have also been hot topics over the last few years, and that adds a whole new set of challenges. We will show you the tips we use to model and detail modular skids and standardized DfMA components in Revit. We'll also cover how we manage hangers and all the fabrication documents, and the methods required to make the shop and field successful.

Join us as we take a deep dive into the world of Revit families (RFAs) and Autodesk Fabrication ITM content. We will explore the pros and cons of each approach, and discuss why we believe it's time to look beyond these traditional methods. Instead, we will showcase a new type of Revit content that we've developed using the power of the Revit API. This new content has allowed us to create an innovative Hanger Placement tool for the Revit MEP construction industry. During this session, you'll learn about the benefits of this new approach to Revit content creation and how it can help you create custom parametric geometry that you can use in various ways. We will also demonstrate how our Hanger Placement tool works, and discuss its impact on your projects.
