hsbcad from AutoCAD to Revit to Cloud

Kris Riemslaghco-founder and software architect at hsbcadhsbcadfrom AutoCAD to Revit to Cloud

My name is Kris RiemslaghCo-founder of a company called hsbCADIn construction the biggest money loss happens on site. Our customers achieve to build a house in 1 or 2 days. Of course, one can only do this with the walls, floors and roofs being delivered fully assembled.Hsbcad delivers applications to make this prefabrication happen.We have already application that work on the desktop, but we are dedicated to bring these to the cloud. That is our competitive edge.Hsbcad has 30 years of experience.We have 30 highly motivated people on the payroll, and are active worldwide: in Europe, Japan, Canada, USBasically we go wherever companies invest to automate their prefabrication of construction.(Our focus is on cnc machines for wood processing. )It is our mission to bring these prefabrication companies to the cloud.We start where the architect stops.

We deliver a software solutions to the prefab industry to enable them to be free to construct any design, with any technology, and with any production system. Now and in the future. Thereby enabling them to position themselves in their unique market position.

Our key value proposition. High level of customization.Customer will not change his production process. Our software needs to adapt. Both on design and production level. Today an in the future. To support the present and future projects of the customer.

params of families do not adapt to environmentposition is not dependent on env elements cannot add data to other elements

Only solution is to do this by the application reacting through IUpdater and OnIdling.

hsbcad on Revit does that by allowing the families to express their dependencies: CFE

CFE Coded Family Extensions

a (small) piece of code / c# script that is attached to the family definitionChange own props to adjust own graphicsChange other element props eg length of beamsChange position and orientation eg reposition for T connection toolsReact to environment eg beam orientation changeInside hsbCAD world also add tools to hsbCAD beams to express machining operations

Basically same question Autodesk is trying to solveLuckily hsbCAD has been so much more than selling software: we provide solutions to the needs of our customersMake our customers believe in us being able to pave the road for themWe have to be on the edge ourselves.

Cloud Accelerator program - Summer 2015- Cloud is the future!!LMV Technology (start point hsbShare)AutoCAD I/O (process DWG)Reverse engineer solid to CNC-files (hsbCAD I/O)

Challenge:

How can a software company shift their business from selling desktop apps to deliver cloud services.

-> not only selling: provide solutions to solve customers needs-> needs change-> take customers on journey into future-> convince customers that you are the right partner => be innovative

Leverage the tools Forge is providing https://developer.autodesk.com/api/

Traditionally printed on large paperIs actually the 3d model with lots of detailThe 3d model can be valorized by making it available downstream:* Optimizing the construction process => require customization* reporting issues in context* be the base geometry for all documents- excel, bom, shopdraw, bom, tech doc* be the model that is handed over to owner

How to make it a smooth process:-> from within the desktop app provide upload and manage flexibility.

Hololens

One week after my colleague Craig Colomb in the US received his set of Hololenses, one of them was send to our office in Gent. Wow, this device rocks! Once you have it on your nose, augmented reality feels so natural. I could not resist diving into the API. So here are our first models brought in from hsbcad, just presented on the table in the office!Starting from one of the samples, using Unity3d framework, C# scripting we brought in meshes, rendered, then, assigned transparent material to them
