Class Audience

Drafters, designers, engineers, and CAD managers who are looking to understand BIM from a civil engineering perspective

Class Description

As civil engineers, we draw and design many things, but one thing we do not design is buildings. Yet with each passing day, more and more civil engineers are being required to produce a “BIM deliverable” to their clients. After all, how can one have a “BIM deliverable” without a building? Industry professionals, including Donnie Gladfelter, Timmons Group, and Dana Probert, Autodesk, will lead an informative panel discussion focused exclusively on BIM in civil engineering. We’ll lay it all down on the line, exposing what BIM is, what BIM is not, and what it means to produce a “BIM deliverable”.

Key Learning

  • Explore the core concepts of BIM as it relates to civil engineering
  • Discuss how BIM impacts existing workflows
  • Answer what separates BIM software from non-BIM software
  • IPD and the Sustainable Design workflow defined
  • Best practices for project collaboration: AutoCAD® Civil 3D® to Autodesk® Revit®

    Donnie - sorry to press you, but some of us are travelling from outwith the USA on the weekend before AU, and it would be benificial to have the handouts available prior to travelling . . 11-25-2009 5:11AM

    Ian - Thank your for your inquiry. Per the e-mail I sent out to attendees last week, there will not be a handout for this session, at least not in the conventional sense. This being a panel class, we have assembled a great panel representing many civil engineering disciplines. During the session, each of the panelists will share their insight and experiences with everyone, and also field questions from the audience. After the class I will post our PowerPoint, and also compile any resources mentioned during the session, and post both of those here. Sorry for any confusion the failed delivery of my earlier e-mail may have caused. Please let me know if you have any additional questions, and I'll gladly answer them. Otherwise, safe travels as you make your way to Vegas, and I look forward to seeing you at AU! 11-25-2009 8:49AM

    You should have received an e-mail that I sent to everyone registered for the class. There is not a handout, although we have assembled a great panel representing numerous civil disciplines. After the session I will post our PowerPoont along with any other resources referenced during the session. Look forward to seeing you in Vegas! Donnie 11-19-2009 10:04PM
