Northeast PA AEC User Group: Overview of BIM Workflows
February Topic: Live demo of Revit Architecture. Christopher Lynch, BIM Manager of Highland Associates, will work through the basic architectural tools (walls, doors, windows, stairs), importing a 2d CAD background, shared objects with structure & mep, 2D detailing/drafting, schedules, as well as general sheet and view composition, and finishing with an extended Q & A.
The Northeast Pennsylvania AEC User Group is dedicated to the technology used in today’s Architectural, Engineering, and Construction industry. We are focused on Autodesk products, particularly AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, and Navisworks. Our group consists of users in both the Building and Civil industries who want to learn more about the software they are using and the software they should be using. The meetings will rotate from General topics, such as implementation, collaboration, and interoperability; then Building such as Revit, LEED, Green Building Studio, and Navisworks; and finally to Civil topics such as Civil 3D, GIS, and Construction. This is a user driven, user run group and your participation and input are important to the success of the group.

Live Webcast: Inventor – Import, Export, Translate CAD Data
By popular request, Robert Reid, Manufacturing Solutions Engineer, will demonstrate best practices when it comes to working with Inventor and various 3D CAD data inside your Inventor models. If you ever work with different 3D formats in your designs, Inventor makes it easy to open and work with these models regardless of file type.
Did you know that Inventor supports direct import and export of CATIA V5, JT™ 6, JT™ 7, Parasolid®, and PTC® GRANITE®? It also supports direct import of Siemens NX™, SolidWorks®, Pro/ENGINEER®, and SAT files. We will help you understand Inventor’s translator capabilities and tips on importing other 3D CAD software files and neutral file formats like STEP, IGES, SAT into Autodesk Inventor.
Bob will talk about the different types, what to avoid, and show methods for working with this type of data. Feature Recognition for Autodesk Inventor will be demonstrated.
