Autodesk® Revit® Collaboration: Shared Coordinate for Projects Big and Small Steve Stafford
Revit has a sophisticated system that allows us to manage a project’s true elevation, position, and location and share this with our project partners. This class will explain how accessible this really is.
The Road to Success: Corridor Modeling Scott McEachron
Curb cuts, intersections, knuckles, cul-de-sacs. Learn the essentials of corridor design for subdivisions, railway, and runway. We’ll explore assembly creation, how to apply assemblies appropriately, and how to troubleshoot your designs.
AutoLISP®: Beyond the Basics Robert Green
So you’ve started using AutoLISP/Visual LISP but now you want to gain more functionality and build more elegant routines? This class will get you there. We’ll discuss how to work with selection sets; set filtering; entity modification; user input qualification; logical functions WHILE, COND and FOREACH; using USER sysvars; custom error handlers; and system variable manipulation to create truly powerful routines. Along the way you’ll learn valuable tips to help you debug and protect your code using Visual LISP IDE functions. The class will be conducted in the context of actual programs using “pseudocode” so you’ll know what’s happening and why the programming statements look the way they do. If you’ve wanted to build your AutoLISP skills but haven’t been able to tackle the more advanced topics, this class is a must!
Capturing Design Intent in Autodesk® Inventor® Using Construction Geometry Kevin Robinson
Learn how to take full advantage of sketch line types, including construction and center line geometry, center points, and driven dimensions. Making these simple tools part of your everyday work flow allows you to capture your design intent while creating your part models. You will improve your modeling accuracy, consistency, and overall productivity with the use of these tools Best practices will be demonstrated and discussed that take advantage of these tools and contrasts them with other methods of construction. Many examples, in both 2D and 3D sketches contributed from power users, will be shown. This class will benefit all levels of Inventor users who create and modify part models. A detailed handout is planned that reviews each of the techniques presented.
Session 2: 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Don’t Get Floored in Your Facility: Autodesk® Revit® Architecture as an Effective Facilities Management Tool Christopher Fernandez
See how Revit Architecture can be an effective facilities management tool. Understand how parameters, schedules, and area plans can create a cohesive facility plan from design to management. See move coordination and scenario planning using the industry’s premier architectural design tool.
Don’t Be Left Out in the CODE Chad Studer
Creating assemblies and corridors are relatively easy in AutoCAD Civil 3D. However, displaying this data for deliverables may prove more of a challenge. To simplify this display, styles can be created and associated with code sets Code sets use links, points, and shape codes to display your data in plan, 3D, and section views. We will apply multiple code sets to achieve more information and to display your data efficiently. The goal of this session is to display corridors in plan view for production drawings, automate hatching to show proposed pavement location, display real world materials to the corridor, review corridor design with subassembly data in 3D, show typical sections correctly in section views, and use this typical section for plan sheets. This session will benefit all professionals who understand the basics of Civil 3D.
Extended Entity Data Bill Fane
This course teaches experienced LISP programmers how to attach their own data onto existing AutoCAD drawing objects, and how to interrogate this data later. This extended data does not show up in the drawing nor does it appear in the AutoCAD List command, but it is available to knowledgeable programmers. The type of data that can be attached includes plotting parameters, client and project information, vendor and inventory data for component parts, and so on. We will work through an example that parametrically creates a 2D drawing detail of a coil spring and then attaches its specification to it. If we want to edit the spring later, we can read its specs back from the attached data.
Upgrading Your Autodesk® Inventor® Add-Ins to Use the New Ribbon User Interface Brian Ekins
This session will introduce you to the features of the new ribbon user interface introduced in Inventor 2010. You’ll learn new ribbon-related functionality in the Inventor programming interface and how to use it to add support for the ribbon interface to your add-ins. Because Inventor users can choose to use either the classic or ribbon interface in Inventor, you’ll also learn how your add-in can provide support for both.
