Autodesk hosted OWA+DP and SFNOMA for a night in their One Market gallery in San Francisco. The event started off by networking with Autodesk experts and the attendees as well as touring their impressive gallery. Daniel Guillory, the Head of Global Diversity and Inclusion at Autodesk, started the presentation by thanking everyone for coming and introducing his team of experts to the audience. The presentation stated that the adoption of BIM - Building Information Modeling – benefits the following groups in order: architects, contractors, engineers and others; and it’s highly important to their practice to reduce document errors and omissions due to how that BIM technology understands geometry, relationships, attributes, schedules, context and performance. Moreover, they introduced the latest features of their products Revit, Dynamo Studio and A360 collaboration, and illustrated how using multiple features from these products can reduce time and enhance communication among the project’s team. For instance: A360 collaboration for Revit can give the project’s team easy access to project data without having to download Revit; it also connects the entire project team with a real-time chat within the project model. In the end, the future of BIM is not just serving the project teams, but also serving the future of the building itself and its future inhabitants.
