Class Summary

In this case study we will provide insight into a web based workflow
where the entire design team took responsibility in identifying,
reporting, and resolving clashes against their discipline’s major
systems. The team utilized Autodesk BIM 360 Glue and Autodesk
Revit to achieve continuous clash reporting throughout the design
process. This effort was affective in mitigating the mountain of
clashes that can occur at the end of CD’s had the process not been
implemented early and on a consistent schedule with all design
disciplines. We will identify lessons learned including both pros &
cons experienced with this workflow.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this class, you will be able to:
 Obtain design team buy-in for this proactive workflow
 Understand key strategies for project setup in both Autodesk Revit & BIM
360 Glue
 Implement a Model Coordination process that involves the entire design
team
 Understand the roundtrip workflow of creating Clash reports in Autodesk
BIM 360 Glue & resolving the clash in Autodesk Revit.
