The convergence of virtual reality, prefabrication, manufacturing, building information modeling and construction came into better focus for Autodesk product users in mid November at the software vendor’s annual conference in Las Vegas.
CEO Andrew Anagnost told the 11,000 attendees the company’s strategy is to concentrate on its construction products—including the BIM 360 cloud sharing platform and its design and modeling tool, Revit—and focus less on its media and entertainment lines, except for those products, such as the rendering and animation tools Maya and 3ds Max, that also serve design, construction, and on- and off-site construction manufacturing.
