Featured On-Demand Sessions
Design Tools and Customisation
Explore the latest developments in design tools, user interface customisation, and BIM integration within 12d Model. Learn how new functionality and workflow enhancements make your design process more efficient, flexible, and aligned with modern digital delivery standards.
New Super Alignment Tool Overview
Discover the redesigned Super Alignment tools in 12d Model 15, including the improved Part Editor, new Best Fit alignment function, enhanced toolbar layouts, and additional options for horizontal regressions and curvature analysis. This session helps make alignment design more intuitive, especially for those transitioning from the classic interface.
Rail Cant and Customised Offset Reports
Join Jason Knox from 12dWA as he demonstrates how to apply rail cant within design criteria and generate customised offset reports in 12d Model 15. Learn to calculate super-elevation for dual-gauge tracks, verify compliance, and create vehicle configurations that automatically flag non-conforming design values in real time.
12d to Revolutionise Rail Signal Sighting
Presented by Icom, this session showcases how 12d Model is transforming rail signal sighting through automated, coordinate-driven 3D modelling. Discover how the Unity Alliance (CPB, UGL, Icom, Jacobs, Queensland Rail, and the Rail Delivery Authority) is replacing manual, paper-based assessments with more precise and collaborative digital workflows.
IFC 4x3 for Civil BIM
Gain practical insight into the IFC 4x3 standard and how it’s bridging the gap between architectural BIM tools and civil infrastructure workflows. With 40 years of experience, the presenter walks through case studies and demonstrations that show how IFC 4x3 is helping create a more consistent and interoperable digital environment.
IFC in 12d Model
A detailed introduction to Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and how they’re integrated within 12d Model 15. Learn to configure IFC exports, understand entity structures, manage spatial coordinates, and deliver clean, standards-aligned data for civil projects. This session helps you get the most from IFC for collaboration and compliance.
ISO 19650 Panel Discussion
A thought-provoking discussion featuring industry experts sharing how ISO 19650 is applied across real-world projects. Hear firsthand experiences, challenges, and lessons learned in adopting this international standard for better information management and digital delivery.
12d Model 15 Highlights
An overview of the key updates and new tools in 12d Model 15. This session covers workflow improvements, interface enhancements, and hidden features that help designers and surveyors work faster and smarter across every project type.
North East Link
Dive into Victoria’s largest infrastructure project — the North East Link (NEL). This session from SMEC’s digital engineering team offers an inside look at how advanced 12d Model workflows and collaborative approaches are helping deliver this transformative connection between the Metropolitan Ring Road and the Eastern Freeway.
2D Analysis Updates
Learn about the new 2D Analysis system — a powerful evolution of 12d’s 2D Quick Analysis tool. Discover how this update provides greater flexibility, smarter automation, and more control for hydrological and overland flow simulations — now using a cleaner graphical interface with no coding required.
12d Model Themes
Revisit one of the most visual aspects of 12d Model — Themes. Delivered with humour and insight, the 12d team explores how themes have evolved since 2019, introducing new colour-coded layouts, faster performance, and greater workspace flexibility to personalise your design environment.
12d to Untangle Chaotic NZ Eastern Busway Utilities
Join Angelina Tan and David Saville from AECOM as they reveal how 12d Model was used to coordinate the dense and complex utilities of Auckland’s $850 million Eastern Busway Project. See how automation, clash detection, and data-driven workflows saved time and delivered real construction efficiencies across a 5 km corridor.
Battery of the Nation
Discover how Hydro Tasmania and Entura are using ISO 19650 principles and 12d Synergy to deliver one of Australia’s most ambitious renewable energy programs — Battery of the Nation. This presentation combines humour and deep technical insight to show how structured digital management is enabling the redevelopment of Tasmania’s hydropower assets, including the Tarraleah Power Station and new pumped hydro schemes.
12d Model and Google Earth
See how 12d Model 15 enhances project communication and client engagement through seamless integration with Google Earth. Learn how to present 3D models, highlight design features, and communicate complex technical details in a clear and visual way.
