AU/DevCon 2019 Las Vegas is around the corner. As always, our marketing team is busy with final push with registration while product teams who are targeting to announce new features at AU are making sure everything is working by AU. Personally, I took a break as DevCon AEC track lead this year. Augusto Goncalves took over the responsibility. (Thank you, Augusto!) My team has been quite busy working with BIM 360 Model Coordination and Cost team for the last several months, more lately writing samples for the new APIs to be ready for the big event!
If you haven’t registered for AU and DevCon Las Vegas this year, yet, here is the link to the registration page:

There are many classes that you can choose from. If you are still deciding which classes you want to attend, below are the list of DevCon classes in AEC Track this year:
- FDC322809 – “Digital Twins Implementation using Azure and Forge”, by Shahansha Shaik and Francois Appere.
Monday, Nov 18, 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM.
This class talks about integration of IoT sensors with design models. It shows you how to bring Forge and Azure APIs together to make a digital twin web application that can showcase live data and analytics.
- FDC323949 – “Web data editor: Forging MEP design specifications with Forge”, by Alejandro Mata.
Monday, Nov 18, 2:15 PM - 03:15 PM.
This class talks about application of Forge and BIM 360 Docs in MEP design, including auto-generating MEP specification lists using BIM 360, Forge APIs and Microsoft Azure SQL database.
- FDC323112 – “BIM in Facilities Management: Using Forge and BIM 360 to visualize models and combine with FM information” , by David Möller and Nicklas Ring.
Monday, Nov 18, 5:00 PM - 06:00 PM.
In this class, David and Nicklas from Sweco share how they use Forge and BIM 360 for Facilities Management (FM) to maximize their efficiency by visualizing all the buildings and assets together with information from the facility management system. They will show you real world example of hospital with more 600,000 assets maintained using Maximo.
Below are classes jointly presented with our colleagues:
- FDC322546-L – “Learning Lab: Connect to Fusion Team & BIM 360 data”, by Mona Jalilzadeh.
Monday, Nov 18, 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM
This is a hands-on lab class. If you know the what Forge is and want to get hands on web programming, you may consider joining this lab. This class assumes you have basic knowledge of programming using REST API.
- FDC322226 – “Extending BIM 360 Document Management Approvals with the Design Automation API for Revit”, by Satyanarayana Thentu and Keith White.
Monday, Nov 18, 3:30 PM - 04:30 PM.
In this class, Satyanarayana from Bechtel and Keith from Autodesk Consulting share their work using Design Automation for Revit. Find out how Bechtel is using Design Automation to enhance BIM 360 Document Management approval workflows.
- FDC324008 – “BIM 360 VR Collaboration for AEC/Construction with InsiteVR, Unity and Forge”, Angel Say and Michael Beale.
Monday, Nov 18, 3:30 PM - 04:30 PM.
InsiteVR brings VR collaboration to the AEC industry. Teams using BIM 360 can extend their workflow into collaborative VR by accessing the latest models, reviewing and creating issues from VR headset. Come and experience VR live!
- FDC324035 – “Viewing PointCloud in a browser with ForgeViewer and Airsquire”, by Yue You, Kyle Tan and Michael Beale.
Monday, Nov 18, 5:00 PM - 06:00 PM.
In this class, Airsquire shows browser-based tool that detect errors between the model and point-cloud scans. They use Artificial Intelligence behind the scenes and Viewer to display the discrepancy in the model.
Last, not least, the class I'm presenting:
- FDC323834 – “BIM 360 API Update”, by Mikako Harada, Simon Bee and Don Whittle.
Monday, Nov 18, 2:15 PM - 03:15 PM.
BIM 360 Model Coordination API is going to be a big topic this year. I’m pleased to tell you that Simon Bee and Don Whittle from Model Coordination team are co-presenting this class and are going to introduce you to the true API first implementation of Model Coordination API. We’ll also show you examples of integration with Power BI and VR. Cost API is also planned to release around AU time. We’ll cover that as well.The image above is a snapshot from a sample by Xiaodong Liang, which integrates Model Coordination API with Power BI.
It is going to be exciting. See you in Vegas!
