CBW227909 - View Extensions for C# Beginners This breakout session is specifically targeted at C#-beginners (with some prior programming experience in another language, e.g. Python) and taught by a (relative) C#-beginner who is still very much aware of all the things he had to learn when making his first view extension. It will teach participants extension basics and help participants understand how they can learn how to make simple view extensions. We will look at some code examples to familiarize ourselves with key concepts of view extensions and the Dynamo API and learn how we can create a simple user interface and use it to interact with Dynamo. The DynaMonito view extension will serve as the main learning resource since it contains many smaller, simple tools well suited for learning extension basics. 270 Minutes Pre-conference Session John Pierson

CBW227910 - Build Custom User Interfaces and Interactions for Dynamo Up and Running with MVVM form Dynamo Extensions. Never heard of a View Model? Not sure what Model-View-ViewModel means, and why MVVM has so many V’s in it? This developer workshop will get you ready to program your own creative extensions for Dynamo, by first helping you understand the structure of Dynamo itself. We’ll introduce WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) for making a GUI, and we will implement the MVVM design pattern to list and save keyboard shortcuts. Then, we will see the same design pattern in the Dynamo source code, albeit at a much more complicated level. Finally, you will integrate your keyboard shortcut dialog into Dynamo itself using the extension framework. We’ll improve the user experience in Dynamo, speeding up graph development for everyone. 270 Minutes Pre-conference Session Sol Amour

CCS232408 - Robotics in Construction Automation and robotics have helped manufacturing, retail, and agriculture industries increase productivity by 1,500% since 1945 (McKinsey 2017). In contrast, however, construction productivity has remained relatively stagnant during the same time period. For the robotics industry, construction presents potential use cases and unique applications that can utilize a variety of evolving technologies, from drones, ground robotics, teleoperation, machine vision, additive manufacturing, and assistive robotics. Automation has been implemented in other industries to solve challenges associated with labor productivity, material waste, quality control, and so on—but why not construction? This panel will bring together representatives from the architecture, engineering, and construction industry with technology and thought leaders from the robotics community to develop a collective understanding of the problems and opportunities, and discuss how to take the next steps. 90 Minutes Pre-conference Session Russell Loveridge

CCS225345 - Building Owner Managing a Major Airport Redevelopment Project with BIM 360 Denver International Airport (DEN) is more than 23 years old and currently going through major redevelopment, including adding 33 new gates to all of its concourses and renovating the main terminal. Having already constructed the Westin Hotel and Convention Center with the aid of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and cloud collaboration, DEN has gone full-blown with implementing BIM 360 Docs software for the Main Terminal Renovation, a.k.a. The Great Hall project. It was the logical choice and platform. The intelligent models needed to be centralized and collaborate with several design teams across different offices throughout the United States and South America. We'll present our approaches, challenges (there were undoubtedly plenty), and solutions from project kickoff through construction. BIM 360 Docs software became the single source of truth for a large and complex project. Autodesk products used in the project include BIM 360 Docs, BIM 360 Glue software, BIM 360 Field software, Revit 2018 software, and Navisworks Manage 2018 software. 90 Minutes Pre-conference Session Brendan Dillon

CCS226503 - Generative Urban Design: A Collaboration Between Autodesk Research and Van Wijnen Autodesk Research’s in-house architectural studio, The Living, is a pioneer in the application of generative-design technology. They have completed successful projects for Airbus—the famous bionic partition for the A320—and internal to Autodesk, including both the design of the new office in Toronto’s MaRS Discovery District and the exhibit hall layout for last year’s Autodesk University. In late 2016, The Living was approached by Van Wijnen, an innovative Dutch construction company interested in reinventing the way the firm built homes. Van Wijnen wanted to apply generative design at the urban scale, exploring possibilities around the layout of residential areas based on financial, sociological, or environmental metrics. Speakers from Autodesk Research will present the concept behind the project and details of the Dynamo-based tool that Van Wijnen uses for new layouts. Additionally, a speaker from Van Wijnen will talk about how the tool is used and has changed the way the firm approaches urban planning projects. 90 Minutes Pre-conference Session Lorenzo Villaggi

CCS232392 - Optimize and Automate Your Precast Production Using EDGE In this session we will take a deep dive into the EDGE platform to see how precast detailing and production can be optimized and automated. We will first discover how EDGE for Revit can be used in conjunction with Autodesk Revit to make intense precast detailing simple and model based. This will show the EDGE for Revit solution creating models at an LOD of 400 to make the detailing process simpler. We will then learn how the EDGE model can be used to optimize and automate downstream processes of precast production including enterprise resource management integration using EDGE^ERP, paperless production workflows using EDGE^Cloud mobile application, production automation workflows using EDGE^CAM, and even a brief glimpse into the future of precast production using augmented reality with EDGE^AR application. Finally, we will learn firsthand from an EDGE customer on how this solution is being used to automate and optimize real world precast projects!
