Class Audience

AEC design visualization professionals and project managers seeking both to explore the use of 4D technology and to manage 3D/4D workflows

Class Description

The San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge Seismic Safety Project is an unprecendented feat of engineering and construction that required unprecedented use of visualization technology. This session will demonstrate how 3ds Max and NavisWorks were used to provide a full range of 3D and 4D technology solutions to manage and communicate the plans for the most expensive bridge ever built in the United States. This case study will cover techniques and best practices for data integration and streamlining project workflow on 3D/4D projects.

Class Highlights


  • Exploring 3D modeling for 4D applications: preparing models for 4D in 3ds Max

  • Managing updates and changes to geometric and scheduling data

  • Creating an organized, intelligent 4D model in NavisWorks using 3D geometry

  • Demonstrating the importance of teamwork in this project

  • Demonstrating a range of client-based visualization solutions
