Autodesk and Unity announced a collaboration last year to streamline workflows and enable seamless development across the AEC design, build and operate lifecycles. This fall, Unity Reflect launches, giving designers, architects, and engineers the ability to seamlessly federate their Revit models for real-time 3D. Andrew Sullivan - Digital Delivery Manager, SHoP Architects will provide an overview of how they are using the product to enable real-time decision making, reduce the time between revisions and meetings, and ultimately improve design review and construction planning processes.
