Fabrication Lifecycle Tracking from Definition to Installation
Course Description
In this class, you'll learn tips and tricks to speed up takeoff and overall estimates, including commands to utilize, take-off methods and expediting exports and the data that can be sourced from ESTmep. We'll show how ESTmep is a valuable tool for estimating in the MEP world and give others the tools to produce efficient and accurate estimates.
Learning objectives:
1. Creating reusable functions
2. Processing a directory folder (like all ITM's in your library)
3. Reading/Writing to files
4. Fixing content/drawing issues
During this class, we will teach advanced fabrication scripting for Fabrication CADmep, Fabrication ESTmep, and Fabrication CAMduct using *.COD scripts. Prior knowledge of COD scripting highly recommended, but not require.
Learning objectives:
1. Learn what scripting can and cannot be used for
2. Discover basic scripting syntax and language
3. Learn how to create simple scripts for use with CADmep, ESTmep and CAMduct
4. Learn how to use scripts for modifying fabrication properties
This class will teach fabrication scripting for Fabrication CADmep, Fabrication ESTmep, and Fabrication CAMduct, using *.COD scripts. It assumes no prior knowledge of COD scripting. We will walk you through how to create and test scripts to bulk modify properties of fabrication content.
Learning objectives:
1. Discover the basic concepts and necessary steps of implementing Fabrication ESTmep
2. Learn how data can move from Design>Estimating>Coordination>Shop>Field
3. Debunk the stereotype that ESTmep does not work
Let’s take a look under the hood and see how Fabrication ESTmep software can save you time and money by using one common database throughout the Autodesk Fabrication portfolio. Learn best practices from industry experts on how to implement Fabrication ESTmep. In this class, we’ll go through a recommended implementation strategy, along with best practices for a smooth implementation. We’ll examine the Product Information Editor, ID Codes, and how pricing information is linked to items within Fabrication ESTmep.
Design line is the service-based detailing tool that is used in Fabrication CADmep and Fabrication ESTmep. Once set-up to your requirements, it can help streamline modeling time significantly.
This course will focus on the Item properties window that can show how your data interacts with other information to give you the complete part. We'll walk through the Items Properties to show how data flows through your company.
This course will focus on utilizing the Product Information Editor to make your job as a database manager easier. Learn the ins and outs of using the Product Information Editor to save time and money.
During this prefabrication class, we'll analyze the strengths of lean practices and principles as it pertains to spooling.
Learning objectives:
1. Analyzing machine code
2. Post processor library use and setup
3. Finding the correct post processor
4. How to create a custom post
This class will cover machine setup using the existing post processors in CAMduct as well as how to create a custom post processor. If you've ever had a new machine installed and had trouble getting CAMduct setup to write the proper code, you'll leave with some tools and ideas on how to solve these problems.
Review step by step how to create a valve for Autodesk Fabrication CADmep and ESTmep. Creating ITM content is a complicated task. This class will give you a better understanding of the process involved.
Learn how to create custom Fabrication reports to address specialty needs. After this class, you'll better understand the more advanced abilities that Fabrication reporting can provide.
Learning objectives:
- Provide an understanding of all stakeholders in the fabrication process Estimators, VDC, Management, Shop, and Field
- Outline the collaboration needed to have long term success with fabrication.
- Demonstrate the value of using a model to review and define fabrication on a project.
- Learn how to use Revizto and eVolve to automate and streamline a holistic fabrication process.
This class will focus on a simple and effective workflow that starts at spool definition within the model and runs through VDC, the shop and out into the field. We will discuss the importance of involving the field personnel, PM’s and other stakeholders as early as possible in the fabrication process, and how critical their feedback is through installation. We will demonstrate how to use Revizto to stream this workflow for stakeholders on and off the jobsite.
The easy way to visually audit your database without opening a single file using interactive dashboards made with PowerBi.
Learning objectives:
1. Reviewing sample CNC code
2. Testing post processor output
3. Common problems and how to overcome them
4. Troubleshooting techniques
This class will focus on the machine post processors that ship with CAMduct. When you get a new machine, it can be a hassle to figure out how to get it up and running. We'll cover how to determine which post processor to use, verify and configure its output for your machine.
Learning objectives:
1. Understand managing constraints with design line as well as setting and using design entry carryover
2. Understand the benefits of using button mapping loops to reduce quantity of button mappings
3. Understanding fitting extensions
4. Using optimize fitting extensions setup terminal styles for grilles and grille box placement
Design line is the service-based detailing tool that is used in Fabrication CADmep and Fabrication ESTmep. Once set-up to your requirements, it can help streamline modeling time significantly.
Learning objectives:
1. Difference between C4R & BIM 360 Design
2. Setting up a BIM 360 Design project
3. Live vs. shared vs. consumed workflow
4. Publishing to BIM 360 Design
5. Things to know if you host the project and critical issues for your part of a project hosted by others
BIM 360 Design is the 2nd generation design collaboration for Revit users who wish to collaborate with owners, consultants and clients seamlessly in the cloud, and includes the document management functionality previously only found in BIM 360 docs. This class will show how to setup project teams, establish permissions and share data with other project stakeholders, as well as how to work effectively with Revit in the cloud.
Learning objectives:
