 \n2D to 3D: How to Make it Work for You  \nKathryn Donald Max Fordham LLP  \nCarlotta Mirri  \nMax Fordham LLP  \nLearning Objectives  \n• Learn how to create a road map for transitioning from delivering projects in 2D to producing 3D models with embedded data (BIM) .  \n• Discover the importance of adequate resources for successfully delivering and maintaining the development that they do.  \n• Learn how to plan development for more efficient and consistent project delivery in Revit compared to using it “out of the box”.  \n• Learn how to avoid similar mistakes to those we made when we first started delivering projects in Revit.  \nDescription  \nWe deliver our projects differently from most building services companies. Our engineers generate project deliverables rather than CAD technicians. As such, the majority of engineers deliver projects in Revit software, creating intelligent models to meet clients’ requirements.  \nWe’ve been delivering projects in 3D for 10 years; however, only recently has the engineers’preference become working in Revit rather than AutoCAD software. This shift is a result of the work completed throughout the last few years; engineers now believe delivering projects in Revit is the simplest and quickest method. We will guide attendees through the work we have undertaken to achieve this, looking at the easiest wins before moving to the more ambitious, including the development of bespoke tools. We will look at how we can automate boring tasks, giving engineers more time to be creative. We will touch on the issues we have experienced, cover tips and tricks we have discovered, and show how to maintain tools and resources once they are out in the “wild”.  \nSpeaker(s)  \nKathryn Donald  \nKathryn is a Partner at Max Fordham LLP, leading their transition to a fully digital design environment through Building Information Management (BIM) and digital engineering. Her digital design expertise has developed through her 10 years’ experience as a building services engineer with the Practice.  \nAs a project engineer on early BIM projects , Kathryn developed a real-world understanding of the opportunities and challenges of deploying digital design.  \nKathryn and her Digital Design Team work closely with the engineering teams to develop bespoke digital tools, processes, content and training to improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of the Practice’s engineering output.  \nCarlotta Mirri  \nCarlotta is passionate about applying technology in the AEC industry.  \nAs a Digital Design Engineer at Max Fordham, Carlotta manages BIM model production for large scale projects and supports teams of engineers in optimizing and enforcing BIM strategies and effective collaboration.  \nShe has been heavily involved in the development of BIM procedures , content and custom digital tools. Carlotta began exploring pyRevit as a way to interact with the Revit API using Python, for automating time consuming tasks in Revit and speeding up the production of information and surfacing model data for engineering calculations.  \nIntroduction  \nDuring this Industry Talk we will set out the Max Fordham journey of our adoption of Revit and our subsequent transition from 2D to 3D project delivery. Having spent the first 6 or so years muddling through this transition, we will highlight the lessons we have learned and how, in hindsight, we would have planned out the roll out of Revit if we were to start the process over again.  \nIntroduction to Max Fordham  \nTo understand our approach to delivering projects, you need to understand the ethos at Max Fordham. We are a Building Services Engineering consultancy founded in 1966 by Max Fordham OBE on the premise of pushing the boundaries of sustainability , creativity and innovation. We are also a Limited Liability Partnership, with almost half of the current staff being a Partner of the Practice. The result is , that as a Practice , we have been raised to question everything while also being encourage","cbCaitu9khGw0Tf2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitu9khGw0Tf2","pdf",4536917,48,"English","# Learning Objectives\n# Description\n# Speaker(s)\n# Introduction\n# Introduction to Max Fordham\n# A Difficult Start to 3D Delivery","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the talk about 2D to 3D delivery?\",\"answer\":\"The talk guides attendees through Max Fordham’s journey adopting Revit and transitioning from 2D to 3D project delivery, highlighting lessons learned and practical next steps.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Max Fordham deliver projects differently?\",\"answer\":\"Max Fordham’s engineers generate project deliverables in Revit, creating intelligent models that meet client requirements rather than relying primarily on CAD technicians.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of early mistakes does the content address?\",\"answer\":\"It describes crucial early mistakes when adopting Revit, including buying the software without fully exploring its complexity and failing to establish appropriate central development and workflows.\"}]","2D to 3D: How to Make it Work for You | PDF",121]
