openBIM workflows enable interoperability and collaboration among different software applications and stakeholders in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry using neutral, industry-standard formats. These workflows center around Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), an open and neutral data format for building information modeling (BIM), but they also include other formats and technologies such as BCF (BIM collaboration format), bSDD (buildingSMART Data Dictionary), and IDS. In this session, you'll learn about the Autodesk strategy around IFC and openBIM, the current and future capabilities of Revit, and other Autodesk AEC products to support openBIM workflows. In addition, we'll offer some insights for Revit users to optimize their IFC data exchange and quality. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced user of Revit and IFC, this session will provide you with valuable insights and guidance to enhance your openBIM workflows and collaboration.

As design and construction environments become increasingly complex, seamless data flow and interoperability between different platforms is critical. Autodesk Data Exchange is an emerging platform service that enhances interoperability between applications. This class will explore using the platform to enable data exchanges between Tekla Structures and Revit software. Autodesk Data Exchange enables the efficient exchange of model data via the platform—including geometry, materials, and part information—between Tekla and Revit. This not only eliminates the need for time-consuming manual data re-entry, but it also reduces the risk of errors, facilitating a more streamlined and accurate design and construction process. The use of Autodesk Data Exchange represents a significant step forward in building information modeling (BIM) collaboration, fostering more-integrated and -coordinated workflows between architects, engineers, and contractors.
