SE304-1: Integrated Modeling for Successful Project Delivery Using Autodesk Revit
http://forums.augi.com/showthread.ph...Autodesk-Revit

Instructor: David Odeh
Class Description: This session will provide an overview of integrated modeling for building design projects from a structural engineer's perspective. On completion of the session, attendees will be able to identify projects that can benefit from BIM, set up joint BIM standards for model development, set up a project plan for copy/monitor coordination and clash detection, and understand basic business and management issues related to model sharing during design and construction. Discussion will also include the integrated project delivery (IPD) method and how Revit Structure can be used effectively in this setting. Examples will be drawn from real projects in various phases of design and construction that are being undertaken by the instructor's firm.

SE122-1: Sharing Autodesk Revit Models: Best Practices
http://forums.augi.com/showthread.ph...Best-Practices

Instructor: Erleen Hatfield
Class Description: A panel of two presenters will show how improving the Revit model sharing process with the design team, owner, and contractor benefits everyone. This class explains enhanced workflows for model sharing and identifies critical communication issues that all design team members should know in order to have a successful BIM project, including helping you to better manage everyone's expectations by asking the right questions at the beginning of each BIM project before the first Revit model is built.

AB218-8: BIM in the Federal Government 2009
http://forums.augi.com/showthread.ph...overnment-2009

Instructor: Patrick Suermann with John Sullivan
Class Description: This premiere session builds on past success and will inform attendees of who did what in 2009, and what BIM opportunities are in store for 2010. With greater BIM implementation, 2009 saw new BIM guides, pilot projects, mega-MILCON projects using BIM, and evolving roles mature, using BIM more so than any other year to date. In 2010, stimulus and BRAC projects will continue to look for efficiencies gained from BIM implementation.

AB104-6: Should We Ever Stop Modeling in Autodesk® Revit®? When, Why, and What Should We Model
http://forums.augi.com/showthread.ph...hould-We-Model

Instructor: Jeremiah Bowles
Class Description: During this class we will discuss the differences between these models: analytical, constructability, and as-built/FM. We'll discuss how architects can again become master builders. This will be a collaborative session, so be prepared to share and discuss successes and failures in modeling too much and/or too little and the challenges around each. We will discuss and record what the group's opinions are and also what tools we think are missing for aggregating model data and what to propose to Autodesk for future areas of improvement. Come and discuss challenges, real world problems, missing and proposed tools, and how and why we should move towards a true modeling-based concept. Discuss the advantages of Autodesk Inventor interoperability and options for success. Establish a checklist for deciding when we should stop modeling based on project size, scope, and contract. Also we will discuss how to leverage all those great AutoCAD Architecture tools for prefabrication and manufacturing in Revit and whether or not we should move to interoperability similar to the relationship of Revit Structure and AutoCAD Structural Detailing. What is the way way for the industry to leverage Autodesk Inventor without parametric parts? The result of this discussion will be to establish best practices on when to stop modeling and start detailing.

AB308-5: Autodesk® Revit® for Project Managers
http://forums.augi.com/showthread.ph...oject-Managers

Instructor: Jim Balding
Class Description: This class will cover the issues that project managers face with managing Revit projects in their office. We will cover simple navigation, commands, and implementation strategies that are required to effectively use Revit alongside project designers. We will also discuss the differences in workflow, as well as the change in process, and issues to watch out for while managing Revit projects and new Revit users.

AB122-3: "This is So Not in the Book" About Revit® Architecture
http://forums.augi.com/showthread.ph...E-Architecture

Instructor: Donnia Tabor-Hanson
Class Description: After teaching Revit Architecture for a number of years, I have found that no matter which instructional materials I use, things always seem to be left out. I find myself saying “This is SO not in the book” so often that I am putting all of these topics that I can into this class. The class will be for those who have been working with Revit Architecture for some time. Customization of views, family tips, reusing project information, and family creation will be covered. Topics on BIM management procedures that should be used daily will be presented. You will see some great tips on making your template get with it and really scream.
