Advanced Solutions Events

Autodesk NavisWorks Technology Day

Advanced Solutions Inc., invites you to participate in one of two available Autodesk Technology Day sessions featuring a presentation by Ed Deal, Autodesk AEC Engineering Technical specialist. With over 15 years of industry experience, Ed has proven to be a skilled consultant with a superior knowledge of numerous Autodesk software products. During each session, he will discuss many challenges the industry is facing, including sustainability, and demonstrate how Autodesk's solutions can help designers turn those challenges into advantages through the use of Autodesk® NavisWorks® software. You will see how the software will enable project design and building professionals to unite their contributions into a single, synchronized building information model. There are two available times to choose from with the same agenda for your convenience.

By enabling team members to reliably share, combine, review, and perfect detailed 3D design models of any size or format, Autodesk NavisWorks solutions are at the heart of your building information modeling (BIM) workflow. Come and learn how you can implement these solutions into your design projects.

2008 SC APWA Summer Meeting

The South Carolina Chapter of the American Public Works Association will host an annual conference for public agencies, private sector companies, and individuals dedicated to providing high quality public works goods and services. The four-day conference will provide educational sessions for attendees, and networking opportunities with other public works officials. Advanced Solutions will participate in the Conference Exhibit hall on Thursday, July 10 from 7:30am-5:00pm.

Field To Finish: AutoCAD Civil/Civil 3D
Using Survey data to automatically generate base map drawings

About Field to Finish
The ability to download field collected Survey data and automatically “draw” an intelligent base map is called “field to finish”. Huge efficiency gains may be achieved in this often overlooked, yet essential project task. In this workshop you will see how knowledgeable use of hardware and software throughout the data collection and reduction process can not only save time but also assure accuracy.

Workshop Topics
The techniques for field to finish are easy to implement and use Survey data can be seamlessly transferred from field data applications into Autodesk Civil 3D for display, reduction, management, and design. The goal of this workshop is to show you how this is done by using a real-time example. We will field collect survey data using the Autodesk Fieldbook methodology and then download that raw data into AutoCAD Civil 3D and demonstrate how a base map drawing is instantly created. The following are the topics we will investigate as we step through this field to finish example:

• Experience the Possibilities of Civil 3D and Survey Functionality – an overview of this exciting new paradigm shift from traditional CAD to 3D modeling.
• Raw Survey Data and Fieldbook Files – an introduction to the Autodesk Fieldbook methodology.
• Data Download and Conversion – how to download your raw survey data into Civil 3D and where to find conversion utilities if needed.
• Point Descriptions and Figure Prefixes – how to fine tune automated drawing of base maps.
• Line Connectivity Codes – how to add accuracy to your survey data as well as generate automatic base maps depicting existing conditions.
• Surface Creation, Analysis, and Editing – the steps needed to create and verify existing ground surfaces.
• Final Drawings and Documents – an introduction to the power of display and report document creation and collaboration in Civil 3D.

This half day workshop is targeted for those in the surveying, mapping, and civil design professions that are interested in realizing huge productivity gains by streamlining their current survey to base map to design workflows.

Experience the Possibilities
Link Building Information Modeling (BIM) to Sustainable Design

Autodesk AEC Technical Specialist, John Boehms, AIA, LEED AP, will illustrate bridging strategies for environmental and architectural design to nurture sustainability. Through the use of design, analysis and visualization platforms for BIM, you will gain an understanding of how high-performance design can be executed with a coordinated team effort characterized by an understanding of the holistic design process fostered by LEED. The ability to integrate LEED principles with architecture and engineering through a shared technology can be a powerful tool for today's architects and designers.

Building Information Modeling can facilitate Sustainable Design decisions and solutions on projects with management of data, analysis and documentation parameters. Join us to gain knowledge, explore bridging strategies and determine key values around sustainable design.

This event qualifies for AIA Continuing Education Credits.
