Jonathan JacobsHOST
So tell me for a second about like the correlation between some of the things you learned in school and how it's being applied here because you did say that, you know, about drafting and this is at a time also before like AutoCAD ever existed.
Jonathan JacobsHOST
Like SketchUp, Revit, none of these things existed.
Jonathan JacobsHOST
So what were you drafting on? Were you drafting on my
Stephanie HuntGUEST
book? None of it existed.
Sasha CrottySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If we don't make our data accessible, then what is the incentive for all of those different organizations to make their data accessible? And from that perspective, like that openness of ecosystem is really, really important for our success as Autodesk.
Sasha CrottySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
By the way, it always has been, because if you look at what has made AutoCAD successful, what has made Revit successful, they're the APIs, right? Because of the scale and the things that you can actually build on top of it.
Sasha CrottySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So it's always been part of our DNA to make our information accessible because it actually builds an ecosystem that is so much more powerful than any one company can build individually.
Sasha CrottySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's why we continue to invest in the APIs, that's why we invest in structured data.
20 MINS LATER
Campbell YuleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the industry wasn't advanced enough to have a comprehensive format that vendors could just say, oh, we'll just use that format.
Campbell YuleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And obviously, DWG became a de facto from the AutoCAD side of view.
Campbell YuleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so then players like Revit, not Revit, but ArchiCAD and Vectorworks needed to write DWG back in the day as the original transfer mechanism.
Campbell YuleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so in certain instances, the players have had this this lock-in um but i mean the argument about vendor lock-in it's taken a different turn now where your files are in the cloud and and if you've got a lot of files in the cloud then certain vendors are taking the view that if you want to take them out then there's transfer costs involved and that's holding people to ransom a little bit from the point of view that here you were providing a service but You don't want to let me go, so you're going to penalize me if I do want to go.
Tom GouldGUEST
And I think that will change the way in which design organizations are operating within construction.
Tom GouldGUEST
I actually just seen last week ChatGPT OpenAI's Astra, which I'm not sure if you've seen yet, but And then three days later, I see on LinkedIn that someone's already connected that to Revit, which is arguably the most used author and tool in the industry.
Tom GouldGUEST
And it's literally building a building, you know, from scratch with all of the technical design completed.
Tom GouldGUEST
And therefore, you know, the role of the human there is much more checking than it is actually doing the doing.
JimHOST
And I will say that in the new kind of BIM focused world, right, where everybody wants everything in 3D, there are a lot more requirements by the clients in the contract to provide 3D BIM deliverables, even for water and gas runs, right? And they won't accept a drawing at all that are just 2D line work anymore.
JimHOST
And a lot of times, our clients are the engineers who are bidding those designs, and they know they're going to lose the job if they can't find fast, efficient ways to generate those pressure structures in 3D to tie into the Revit buildings and so on.
JimHOST
And look, the good thing here is that we can build as many catalogs as you need, right? And then you can store them all in one place.
JimHOST
location for all of your users, right? Whether it's just you or 20 people, it doesn't matter.
Matthew CooperGUEST
whenever possible, just because from a design perspective and an engineering perspective, I think it provides a better opportunity for consistent comfort.
Matthew CooperGUEST
But if the builder, they just want to do jump ducts or they just want to do transfers, then we just have to ensure that when we do the design and whenever possible, we're trying to do design in AutoCAD or Revit so that we can do clash detection and make sure that Where we're saying we want the register and the ducts to go that they can actually go there because a quick path to not having the design followed is if you don't do any sort of class detection, even at just a high level of overlaying trust layouts in your manual D, then the builders or the installing contractor is not going to follow it anyway.
Matthew CooperGUEST
That's typically where we're looking is to have that error.
Matthew CooperGUEST
being put in from one angle of the room and the pathway out to be opposite of the direct airflow of the supply so that we don't short cycle the room.
Ross WagnerGUEST
All that being said, though, AI can certainly...
Ross WagnerGUEST
There's so much metadata in Revit and BIM that is really not being... optimized to its fullest potential.
Ross WagnerGUEST
And so with Piros is that we can use intelligent search and AI to help find what you need in a way easier fashion than just hunting for it over time and taking half a day or redrawing something.
Ross WagnerGUEST
Not sure if that answers your question, but yeah.
Ross WagnerGUEST
I would say your IP is that and like your expertise is that.
Ross WagnerGUEST
But there are things with AI that can certainly help with automation, right? So we have Mira is our AI engine.
Ross WagnerGUEST
It's an agentic partner that talks to everything within Piros, our platform, but also can work with alongside you in Revit and help mitigate some of these tasks that you just don't want to do.
Ross WagnerGUEST
Think of it as centering room tags.
Matt BellGUEST
So, you know, for, let's say, CAD work, we use Bentley products, so OpenRoads Designer, OpenBridge Designer.
Matt BellGUEST
We have Autodesk products, which is Civil 3D and Revit.
Matt BellGUEST
We use design tools such as Bentley RAM, RESA, other design tools across different practices.
Matt BellGUEST
you spend a lot of time just relaying that information across those platforms.
Sam RichardsonGUEST
So the last point on that that's really kind of broken, kind of punched through the cloud, as I like to say to my team of growth, is we are doing everything first on a digital simulated twin.
Sam RichardsonGUEST
We are creating a three-dimensional view of whatever the client wants us to design with CAD drawings, Revit files, or just cocktail napkin ideas.
Sam RichardsonGUEST
And then we go in with our engineers and we create a virtual illustration of that.
Sam RichardsonGUEST
And it's not just like this cute thing that you spin around and show to try to close a deal.
Hamid HasanzadeHOST
And...
Hamid HasanzadeHOST
Just talking about the current tools in architecture, do you think AI will eventually replace traditional architectural software like Rhino, Grasshopper, or Revit, or will these tools evolve alongside with AI?
Carlos BañónGUEST
Yeah, so the news is that, well...
Carlos BañónGUEST
Impressive.
Hamid HasanzadeHOST
Absolutely.
Carlos BañónGUEST
Because the old
Hamid HasanzadeHOST
generation will still continue working with the same methods that they were doing, like in Rhino and Grasshopper and BIM, Revit, all sort of the current softwares.
Hamid HasanzadeHOST
But the new generation, they will look for better solutions.
Damien CroughGUEST
A lot of our members who are manufacturers and builders are They're using digital tools.
Damien CroughGUEST
They're using Revit, for example, as a 3D modeling, building information management.
Damien CroughGUEST
They're embedding all of that into it.
Damien CroughGUEST
So what you're getting is absolute knowledge of what has been assembled and put together.
