Goals and Objectives

Familiarize you with the concepts and

terms of BIM

Many topics presented here will be covered in more detail in future units

Present the issues and obstacles involved

with moving towards a BIM enabled environment and process Prepare you to begin working in BIM Management Its not important that you know all the answers, its important that you have a sense of where to look for the answers!

What is BIM?
BIM is a descriptive term for technologically advanced processes in building design. BIM is characterised by the creation and use of geometrically coordinated 3D objects, enhanced by associated computable data. The data is typically interrogated in a 3D environment, and is manipulated to describe a building project in many ways.

Whats a Model?
Simplified version of a concept, phenomenon,

relationship, structure, system, or an aspect of the real world. http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/ model.html

An ABSTRACTION!

3D Model

31

2D Drafting and 3D Modeling

In 2D, Everything is a line

Circle = A round line Square = 4 lines Column = A closed, filled in line Wall = 2 parallel lines Door = A bunch of lines

33

2D Drafting and 3D Modeling

In 2D, Everything is a line

Circle = A round line Square = 4 lines Column = A closed, filled in line Wall = 2 parallel lines Door = A bunch of lines

In 3D, we extrude lines to make surfaces and

solids

Boxes, Cylinders, etc Unlimited Representative Geometry

The BIM Difference

37

BIM Object Based Modeling

The computer understands a Wall is a Wall,

door is a door, etc.

38

Parametric Modeling
Parameter = Object specific data which drives

form or conveys information

39

Parametric Modeling
Parameter = Object specific data which drives

form or conveys information

Dimensional Info (length, width, area, volume) Identification Info Location Info Materials Type

Are there several variations on an object (wall/door/window)

42

BIM New v. Old

What does technology now make possible,

which is different from past practice?

New ways to convey information New uses of Data, and Re-use of Data New methods for collaboration, co-operation New abilities to link Design to fabrication through Integrated Project Delivery

43

BIM New v. Old

What does technology now require, which is

different from past practice?

New skills for more sophisticated software New standards for coordinating data New approaches to collaboration-process New contracts and ideas about liability SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PLANNING!

44

Planning
What is our model to be used for?

Visualization? Documentation? Data Extraction? Analysis?

What software should I use?

What level of development and detail? How can it or should it be shared?

When should it be shared? Who will manage the data flow?

Types of Models
Not all models are created equal.

Design Modeling Documentation Modeling Construction Modeling Coordination Modeling

47

Design Modeling
Establish Design Intent
Architects

Emphasis on visualization rather than accuracy Used in Analysis

Engineers

Not particularly useful for collaboration &

coordination

48

Documentation Modeling
3d model developed expressly for purpose of

2d documentation

Essence of what Revit does Process can involve migration of Design Model from 3d program to 2d drafting platform

Model should be accurate

Project coordinates & Element sizes

Appropriate for sharing in a collaborative

coordination environment Can be an essential tool for complex building

49

Documentation Modeling

50

Documentation Modeling

51

Construction Modeling
Accuracy is PARAMOUNT

Model intended for use in construction & fabrication Model can be used to generate shop drawings

Generating 2d drawings is not a key priority,

Fundamental difference in HOW and WHY

the model is created

52

Construction v. Design Model

Wall Modeled as a

single element Column Modeled as a single element Slabs cut-off at wall Built in response to how architects think about Design

53

Construction v. Design Model

Wall Modeled by

floor level/as built Column Modeled by floor level/as built Slabs support walls Built in response to how the structure is intended to be constructed

54

Coordination Modeling
An Activity based upon previously created

models

Either Documentation Models or Construction Models can be used. Created by Architects or Engineers or Builders or Trades
Discipline is specific, Aggregate is combined clash detection, data extraction, program check, timeline simulation, etc.

Discipline v. Aggregate Model
