ooh, check me out... I'm *so* in this class... I should hold all of my silly
questions until after I've gotten my training this year. 😉
When Revit® Meets Autodesk® FMDesktop:
Description:This session will introduce management professionals,
architects, and space planners to the powerful relationship that develops
when parametric software meets facilities management software. You'll see
how to integrate your BIM model and facilities data into a super-charged
facilities management tool. Learn how to create up-to-date space, asset,
occupancy, and move management information for your facility or campus.
Key Topics:
- Creating the BIM model
- Creating facilities management information within the BIM model
- Exporting facilities management information to DWF files
- Importing facilities information into FM Desktop
- Creating up-to-date space, asset, occupancy, and move management
information using FM Desktop
Who Should Attend:Facility managers, architects, space planners
Speaker(s):Clyne Curtis

;) Thanks Mark. I realize that I can't expect to hear too much about the
future plans for the program, as they are still under development and you
don't want to make any promises.
Alright, I understand the use of DWF. But, one thing I am curious about, is
there some sort of automation in the creation of the DWF? Like, after I've
modified a drawing or a set of drawings, is it automatically republished? or
is there a one-button publish? or would I have to do some sort of plotting
setup each time. (I'm sure these are rather elementary questions, but,
please, humour me, as always)
Thanks again for taking the time out to answer questions, Mark. It's always
appreciated.

In the current version of FMDesktop (6.5), the Facilty Link module is an
ACAD plug-in that provides tools for creating space poly-lines, adding or
updating the corresponding records in the FMDesktop database, and publishes
the floor plan to DWF that is used in the other FMDesktop modules. You can
do the same thing using ADT (not taking advantage of ADT space objects).
FMDesktop uses DWF because it is lightweight, can carry non-graphic data,
and is Autodesk's stated direction for applications that are "downstream"
consumers of data from design applications. ADT, ABS, and the Revit series
of applications all produce DWF files that contain some degree of object
intelligence within them.
