Beyond Design Repost: BIM 360 Field roadshow is coming your way!

From Beyond Design

You've heard my friend, Pete Billante talk about the cool features in Autodesk® BIM 360™ Field for the iPAD and how they've helped thousands of construction project managers, superintendents, and field engineers to manage quality, safety, and commissioning processes. Now, it is time for you to see the power of BIM 360 Field first-hand.

I'm excited to announce that Autodesk is kicking off a five-city roadshow (in the United States) on BIM 360 Field! The roadshow runs from September 17 to October 17. The first event is in my city (San Francisco) and is taking place in the Autodesk Gallery. By attending one of the events, you will gain a better understanding of how BIM 360  Field enables you to combine mobile technologies at the point of construction while supporting 2D and 3D workflows.
During the three hour event, you will learn how mobile devices and cloud-based services are transforming the construction industry and how you work every day. Each event will showcase a different local customer and highlight how they are using BIM 360 Field in their construction projects. Get answers to these questions:
  • How do I manage my field data?
  • How can I improve quality, safety and commissioning?
  • How can I maximize the benefits of mobile devices in field management?
  • What role does BIM play in field management?
Here is a list of dates and cities that we are hitting:
  • San Francisco, September 27
  • Waltham, October 3
  • Ft. Lauderdale, October 10
  • NYC, October 15 (To be confirmed)
  • Houston, October 17
Register today for an event near you. Tip: search by product name on the registration page (Autodesk BIM 360 Field or Autodesk BIM 360 Glue) for an exact list of activities.

Don't see your city on the list? Not to worry, there are plenty of ways to learn about BIM 360 Field. For example, Microsol Resources is hosting a BIM 360 Field webinar tomorrow (September 10) and it will cover Autodesk® BIM 360™ Glue and BIM 360 Field workflows. We are always adding different types of events to the calendar so be sure to check-in and get the latest scoop from the BIM 360 team.

Navisworks 2018 Database Link w/ Excel - Primer

Image
For this demo, I am going to use the Gatehouse sample file that ships with Navisworks 2018. You can find the files C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage 2018\Samples\Gatehouse\. If you have a newer or older version of Navisworks, the process basically works the same. The Process In order to connect an external data source such as an Excel spreadsheet or an Access database to a Navisworks model, we need to configure a DataTools within Navisworks. We will then be configuring the database connection. When working with the DataTools in Navisworks, there are a few very important rules to keep in mind. If you are using a 32-bit workstation, then you need to utilize the 32-bit ODBC drivers. 64-bit workstations need to utilize 64-bit ODBC drivers. It is also important to note, that the link to Navisworks is one way. Data can be linked and viewed inside of Navisworks, but the data can’t be updated within Navisworks. My workstations are all Windows 10 64-bit workstations. My PC’s are using

Navisworks - Multiple Iterations and Locked Files

Image
While working in Navisworks and you find that you are updating your models frequently, you have probably ran into the issue of having to close your Navisworks model in order to update your appended model. There is a quick way to get around this. In the Options Editor >  Model   > Performance , make sure “Close NWC/NWD Files on Load” is checked. This will now allow you to overwrite NWC files without unloading them in your NWF file. So when you have an updated NWC that has overwritten the existing file, you just need to refresh Navisworks for the new model(s) to load.
