Speaking at this year's Autodesk University London event, Dr Stephen Hamil, Director of Research and Innovation at NBS,took to the stage with Brian Roepke from Autodesk to deliver a class on the Autodesk Forge platform.

The session explores:

  • How Revit models can be leveraged in custom applications
  • A real-life use case from NBS - in the form of the NBS Online Viewer
  • Understanding what Autodesk Forge can do for you.

Learn about what the Autodesk Forge platform is capable of and how you can benefit from it. In this session Brian Roepke introduces some of the features within Forge and explains how this powerful, cloud-based software platform can be the build block for your next tool or product. Dr Stephen Hamil demonstrates how NBS have utilised the power of Forge to allow coordinated models and specifications to be viewed through the web browser. Live demonstrations of practical customer examples are also shown from UK architecture and engineering BIM projects.
