LAS VEGAS, Nevada, October 30, 2019 – SSOE Group (www.ssoe.com), a global project delivery firm for architecture, engineering, and construction management, announced today that Mark LaBell Jr., Senior VDC Technical Leader has been selected to speak at Autodesk University (AU) Las Vegas 2019. SSOE’s Charles Berteaux IV, AAE, ACP, BIM / VDC Department Manager and Justin Lipsey, Project VDC / BIM Specialist will bring their reality capture expertise to act as lab assistants during the first session. The event will be held November 19 – 21, 2019 at the Venetian Hotel.
LaBell will present “ReCap to the Max! How to Edit, Document, and Coordinate” on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 from 8:30 am – 10:00 am (session 1) and again from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm (session 2). This hands-on lab will cover how to edit point cloud projects in ReCap software for all disciplines and project types. Advanced documentation and annotation features will be reviewed to make finding equipment and rooms in the point cloud easier for all ReCap users. A quick tour will cover how to extract a piece of equipment for use in planning and general arrangements, or as a template for creating a 3D asset. Next, the group will go over the demolition workflow and how SSOE has created various demolition packages over the years. Finally, there will be a review on how to reduce storage on a network and use the undocumented feature of importing unified data sets in ReCap.
Mark LaBell has a passion and unparalleled dedication for the practice of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) methods in the AEC industry. He has served as a user and customization expert in BIM / CAD software for over 15 years, and he provides support and training for users to educate them on how to maintain a sound and practical user environment. Always looking for the next best thing—whether process improvement, software, or hardware when it comes to practical design and user experience. He has learned that there is never a “one size fits all” approach, no matter what the client requirements dictate. Over the past several years, he has presented at numerous conferences, including Autodesk University 2017 and 2018, PSMJ THRIVE 2016, several Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (OFCC) Conferences, and Advancing Construction Technology 2018.
