My Job @ HOK

Architect, Technologies, knew Lat/Lon when jumped in

Work with any of the 40+ groups that have project technology needs ...@zoog

Databases, City Modeling to Steel Fabrication 150+ Different Software titles used across the

firm. Needed a better Urban Planning workflow Started using FME 1 year ago

How we use (plan to use) FME

Crazily convoluted, 5 software Revit to GIS workflows

User Driven Reports FM BIM Validation workflows Data extraction and collection routines and more…

Better Urban Planning Workflow

130+ Square Mile New City New City the population size of Roma (Rome) “...sure we can model all the buildings” @#$@#$@$@$@%#@#$%!!!!!!!

What we are working on...exploring

Google Spreadsheet >Mobile>dRofus>Revit <Repeat> Space Syntax Like Analysis of Revit Floor Plans 2D/3D Model Version Compare PostGIS Model Version Storage Mapping Revit Activity across the firm Self Serve File Transforms Automatic Clash Detection Project Startup – Location Setting > Revit Batch Processing

“Ample Data” Collection Data Quality Checking

Once we started...

dRofus (PostgresDb) – Program Management dB

Space Analysis (Efforting – Have Feature Requests)

Analysis of BIM based Room network without a network

Autodesk Research

2D/3D Drawing Compare

Exploring RVZ to Postgis for Versioning

Sync with Central Data

Revit to ... Self serve exporter

Automation Goals

Batch Process using RTV Tools RVZ, IFC, 2D DWF, 2D PDF, DWG.

Create Precompiled Data for multi project analysis

Server – Self serve for N number of needs Automatic reports back to project teams when

they should be sleeping

FME Opportunities/ Challenges

Nearly untapped market for Automation in AEC Apparently buildings are on earth? Emerging Market for Rule checking, Zoning, FAR,

Inside, outside... .....

Support for AEC Formats FBX, CityEngine, Rhino, CGA Shape Transformer...

Big clumsy files – 800mb IFC, RVZ

Thank You!
