“We’re making provisions for future use, trying to be forward-thinking so that the building itself is not obsolete the day we open it up.”

“I work in millimeters to get everything so precise. Before, the amount of time it took to cut and punch every rivet and hole was immense. Now, once the design is created in AutoCAD LT and the photo tooling is made from the drawing, I can order the material from …

“BIM helped us to fulfill the vision of building one of the greenest projects in the world. The Porter School of Environmental Studies shows the power of BIM to improve the design and sustainability aspects during the planning and after completion of building. No matter the scale, budget, or program …

“Only by using BIM could we reach our core goal of zero energy consumption. The inspiring design and purpose of the center, combined with the commitment to sustainability, makes the project an important contribution to the community.”

"I was drawing a guitar in AutoCAD and I wasn’t that good in the beginning. I had drawn some splines, but I didn’t know how to convert them yet so I had made them red. I looked at my screen and there it was: a red layer in AutoCAD. And …

“This part of our job is all about communication."

“It’s so much easier for the external stakeholders to understand what’s going on with the project and how the design and construction will impact their properties. And when we add the color scans, it’s as if they’re looking at the finished product.”

“We needed to get away from managing this facility with thousands of 2D drawings. What we really needed for Glen Canyon was a comprehensive 3D model of the dam, the canyon walls, the reservoir area upstream of the dam, the river downstream, and the power plant—inside and out."

“One of the keys to our success is the ability to quickly convert the spaces we lease into rentable WeWork locations."

"Inventor software enables West Hills Construction to generate productionready models, and Vault Manufacturing helps us capture immediate feedback, preventing costly errors later in the process. On a job of this nature, Autodesk software may save us from misquoting by $200,000 in net profit."

“With network data integrated into one system, we’ve got the information we need to quickly approve new solar and wind hookups all in one easy-to-use location. What used to take several days up or up to two weeks can now be accomplished for our customers in a few hours.”

"Revit LT is the best low-cost option for BIM and 3D modeling. The software works the way a structural engineer thinks—in three dimensions. It’s easy to use and differentiates our firm, giving us an instant competitive advantage."

"As we develop our 3D design model, the software is automatically generating and coordinating our 2D drawings, saving us time and improving the accuracy of our documentation. And by relying on the drafting standards built into the Revit LT software, we can deliver clean professional 2D drawings to our clients."

"Autodesk Alias Surface helped our team deliver incredibly high-quality designs in very short periods of time. Having people who are experienced with such proven software meant we could meet extremely aggressive timelines."

“The Model S is really about creating a beautiful, efficient product with no compromises."
