Introduction to HIVE Analytics
HIVE is a streamlined Content Management System and Project Performance Logger. But once set up, how do you get access to the data that provides the BIM Managers so much value? In this webinar we will demonstrate the online reports in detail, explaining all aspects of the stock reports. Additionally, we will walk through the exact workflow to get access to all of your back end data by using Microsoft’s Power BI toolset. At the end, you will see how you can get tons of data at your fingertips, providing insight on the health of your content library and your projects.
Learning Objectives:
- Define Analytics Pre-Requisites
- How to Access HIVE's Analytics
- Obtain the Data Files For Analytics
- Download and Setup Power BI Template

The Best Site Design Workflow in Civil 3D
With recent releases of new apps from CTC, commercial site design has been completely reimagined. With Auto Grader we’ll grade out curbs, ponds and more through customizable “grading families”, generating dozens of feature lines automatically, where normally tedious stepped offsetting would be required. With Earthwork Processor we’ll quickly tabulate earthwork volumes, accounting for varying subgrade and stripping depths. With Label Genie we’ll blanket the site with 100s of spot and slope labels in just a few clicks. When the design changes, all feature lines, earthworks and labels will update automatically.
Learning Objectives:
- Define "grading familes" to automically offset dozens of feature lines at once for curbs, ponds and more
- Create "earthwork sets", accounting for variable-depth subgrades and tabulate cut/fill results
- Automatically label all site features with custom label scenarios, inserting 1000s of labels at once
- Update all feature lines, earthworks and labels when designs change with just a few clicks

Cleaning Revit Projects Best Practices- An Overview
Revit project files can bloat and slow down over time. Not only does this make our Revit files open, and save slower, but they are less responsive overall. This cost you time, and adds to user frustration. Additionally, extraneous or duplicate information, families, content, parameters, views, and more may lead to accuracy and fidelity issues, causing errors in the documentation. This obviously is a risk that needs to be addressed. CTC has automated processes to help you ensure that your projects are fast, accurate, and easier to interact with. This positively impacts not only your interaction with Revit, but your firm’s bottom line and risk management as well.
Join us as Chris Bercher will present on how leading firms are using these processes for better project outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the typical issues that affect Revit projects
- Learn the factors that lead to these issues
- Resolve these typical Revit project issues
- Build a long term strategy to positively impact each project

Import or export Civil 3D® Pipe Networks to Spreadsheets with CTC Pipe Jammer
The new Pipe Jammer from CTC will allow exporting of Civil 3D Pipe and Pressure Networks to spreadsheets. This allows for custom analyses to be performed, or creation of complex pipe tables and reports that simply aren’t possible with native Civil 3D tools. After updates to the spreadsheet, import back to Civil 3D to update pipe and pressure networks.
Learning Objectives:
- Create custom spreadsheet exports for pipe and pressure networks
- Import spreadsheets to Civil 3D to update pipe and pressure networks
- Perform custom analyses in the spreadsheet with your exact pipe data
- Include drainage area catchment properties for storm inlets
