Effective registration is crucial for successful data modeling. It requires careful planning, use of accuracy-enhancing targets, and starting with easy alignments to build momentum. Working in stages prevents errors from spreading, while thorough error reviews ensure quality. Proper registration saves time and minimizes future frustrations, leading to smoother project execution.
Autodesk publishes interactive roadmaps for many AEC products. Each roadmap includes features already delivered, items currently in development and capabilities planned for the near future. These roadmaps are living documents – the development teams warn that dates are subject to…
Every December 7th, I reflect on Pearl Harbor and the loss of my relative on the USS Arizona. Participating in remembrance events, I documented the sunken ships using advanced technology. The experience deepened my understanding of service and sacrifice, making me appreciate the importance of preserving these memorials and honoring their stories.
AU 2025: Your Thrive Guide By Shaan Hurley
Welcome to my annual Autodesk University Thrive Guide, compiled and written to help you thrive, not just survive the Autodesk Design & Make event of the year. Whether it’s your first AU or your 30th, showing up prepared makes all the difference.
AU 2025 lands in Nashville this September, bringing together thousands of professionals across AEC, D&M, M&E, and beyond. With AI front and center and 500+ sessions on the schedule, there’s a lot to take in, but also a lot of opportunity.
This guide will help you cut through the noise, prioritize what matters, and make the most of your time in Music City.
The AEC industry isn’t known for moving fast—but that’s changing. In 2025, the pace of tech adoption is picking up, driven by pressure to deliver faster, cheaper, and with fewer people.
Here’s what’s rising to the top this year—tools and workflows that are actually making a difference on real projects, not just trade show demos.
Reality capture has transformed how we approach Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Over the years, two key technologies have led this charge: LiDAR and photogrammetry. And both continue evolving at a rapid pace. Let's break down their journey and the trends reshaping their use today.
Real-world advice for making tech actually work where the work gets done. Tech can speed things up—or get in the way. It all comes down to how you use it. Here’s what works out in the field, where the signal…
Happy New Year from Between the Lines and Cascade Technology Consulting! As we usher in 2025, I want to take a moment to thank my amazing clients who helped make 2024 such a fulfilling year. Your trust and collaboration have been instrumental in driving meaningful transformations, and I am excited to continue our partnerships as we move into this new year.
Having been both a customer and user of Autodesk products, and as a member of product teams, I’ve had the unique experience of seeing things from both perspectives. I’ve been the voice of the customer, advocating for their needs, interpreting their sentiment, and translating real-world use cases into product strategy. Whether you’re a startup or scaling up, here are some lessons that might help you focus on what really matters.
I used the app 3D Scanner App on my iPhone 15 Pro and scanned in high resolution using LiDAR the sign and tree section to generate a 3D model that you can then export to use elsewhere such as a 3D scene or 3D print, share on Sketchfab, or even use AR to view in your space.
