Success Story
DWL Architects, a leading architectural firm based in Phoenix, Arizona, sought a reliable technical partner to support their projects, including capturing point clouds, creating Revit models, training their team, developing AutoCAD lisp routines, and more. Having an already-established relationship with CADsoft, acquired by ATG in 2017, the DWL team decided to further explore ATG’s offerings and continue working with the team.
Raun Tinklepaugh, IT Director and Facilities Manager at DWL, noted: “ATG retained a lot of the staff we were already working with throughout the transition, so we didn’t want to change what was already working well for us.” Raun wears many hats at DWL, managing everyone’s day-to-day needs, troubleshooting Revit, providing application support, and working with various partners to support DWL’s needs.
Over the nearly seven years of collaboration with ATG, DWL has leveraged a wide array of services, including architecture, reality capture, sales, and support, for various needs such as workforce augmentation, training, production, and more.
ATG’s staff, including Hunter Warring, Matt Linn, Michael Echave, PJ Canavan, and others, have been deeply involved in DWL’s success, working on multiple projects, training, and support inquiries. ATG’s expertise in Autodesk software provided invaluable support for DWL’s technical needs, which included creating AutoCAD lisp routines to automate tasks.
One significant project involved the historical Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix. To accurately capture the building's existing conditions for restoration purposes, DWL deployed ATG's reality capture team. Utilizing advanced laser scanning technology, the team generated detailed point cloud data, providing critical insights for the restoration process.
By partnering with ATG, DWL Architects has significantly enhanced their project capabilities and operational efficiency. ATG's expert team has provided invaluable support in various areas, from point cloud capture and Revit modeling to training and custom script development. DWL continues to utilize ATG’s expertise, recently kicking off a project to capture signage and existing conditions of an airport terminal. With ATG's ongoing support, DWL continues to elevate their projects and maintain a competitive edge in the industry.
Due to the seamless transition with ATG’s acquisition of CADsoft and the comprehensive support the ATG team provides, DWL highlights ATG as going beyond the standard of service providers for the AEC industry. “There’s a standard of the industry, and then there’s ATG. I never have to look for a solution for long because I always have ATG,” said Raun.

Enhancing Civil 3D Workflows with Custom Pipe Network Structures
SeamonWhiteside, a seasoned Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture firm, faced significant challenges in their Civil 3D workflow, especially in the design and labelling of Pipe Network Structures. Despite their expertise, their internal efforts to streamline water-related infrastructure design processes were falling short. Recognizing the need for a specialized solution, they sought external assistance to overcome these inefficiencies. “Our Innovation Department spent a few months trying to develop a solution to support our water-related infrastructure design as a complement to our storm drainage infrastructure. All our efforts were to no avail, so we looked to ATG for a solution,” said York Dilday, PE, Digital Practice Lead – Civil. York manages SW’s AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D environments, designs and implements new tools and workflows, and provides technical support.
Leveraging Autodesk Civil 3D Training for a Competitive Edge
AEC, Inc., a Roswell, GA firm providing planning, civil engineering, and landscape architecture services for nearly 35 years, faced a significant challenge: Keeping up with their competition. On the production side, they recognized the need to learn more about the features of Autodesk Civil 3D and how to implement them to remain competitive in the industry. “We had been looking for a few months to make the push to start training. We were feeling that, from a production-standpoint, our competition was making bigger strides than us,” said Julie Miller, Vice President at AEC, Inc. Julie is involved in production, client management, and internal CAD standards and policies.
