As we wrap up our August-long coverage of blockbusters, AU-style, we thought we\u2019d focus on a big part of any blockbuster: the stars. The talent that goes on the poster. The ones in the spotlight. The folks that can\u2019t be replaced. When they join the production, it goes from being a movie about [whatever] and suddenly becomes their<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n

At AU, we have our own kind of superstars. Folks that come back year after year, people that can pack a room based in large part on who they are, what they know, and how they teach, lead, and inspire.<\/p>\n

Sure, they may not be followed by paparazzi when they\u2019re in their hometown. But for 4 days a year in Vegas, they\u2019re rock stars.<\/p>\n

This week, we\u2019re featuring some classes from 2 genuine AU superstars. We\u2019re also featuring additional AU classes on social media all week. So get your napkins ready for autographs\u2014the stars are in the room.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matt Murphy<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is only 1 Matt Murphy. The ponytail, the New England accent, the incredible depth of knowledge about AutoCAD. He\u2019s spoken at AU 22 times, teaching more than 120 classes. He\u2019s been the top-rated AU speaker 7 times.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a reason: when Matt\u2019s teaching, learning feels easy. His humor and spontaneity mask a rigorous focus on content that connects. Matt covers the curriculum, but with style and wit.<\/p>\n

Check out his AU 2015 class, a deep dive into the efficiency-boosting power of tool palettes in AutoCAD. You\u2019ll learn easy ways to manage blocks; ensure correct colors, layers, and line types; and create company standards. Pop your popcorn and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Paul Aubin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you know him from the hallways of AU (his goatee is his trademark), from Lynda.com, or from his many books, Paul Aubin is a recognized master of all things Revit and a rising AU superstar. A member of the Autodesk Expert Elite, Paul returns year after year to fill us in on all the latest developments in Revit and to help us finesse the most challenging aspects of working in the software.<\/p>\n

Whether he\u2019s explaining how to recreate classical architecture, introducing students to Revit families, or breaking down the details about railings and stairs, Paul is as upbeat and empowering as he is informative. And he\u2019s got a proven knack for breaking complex subjects down into simple steps.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever been flummoxed when trying to flex parametric curves in Revit, check out Paul\u2019s AU 2015 class, which takes you step-by-step through the process of using the Family Editor to create reliable curves, simple or compound.<\/p>\n
