    Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent model-based process that provides insight for creating and managing building projects faster, more economically, and with less environmental impact. Learn basic techniques for creating building information models, including: building elements, building envelope, curtain systems, interiors and circulation, and creating families. This course gives an introduction & overview to BIM Revit Architecture

    After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

    • Create a basic building model containing essential elements, such as walls, doors, windows, and roofs
    • Understand how to place walls and choose wall types
    • Place wall-hosted elements, such as doors and windows, and set their height and other properties
    • Appreciate how to create floor and roof elements by sketching their boundaries and choosing their types

      What is BIM?



      BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. 

      BIM allows for great integration and collaboration among different building professionals of various disciplines to explore digitally, and can be used throughout the entire building process from design stage through construction stage and even post construction building management.

      Lets now learn how to use REVIT Architecture before we embark on a new BIM project. 
      Each topic consists of video tutorials and reference pdf materials.
    • Project 1 (2-storey Bungalow House)

      Not published to students
      Current



      Objective: To be able to interpret a set of CAD drawings of a 2-storey bungalow house. To convert that set of CAD drawings into a BIM model. 

      Tasks: Given a set of CAD drawings (plans, sections and elevations), you are to develop and complete a BIM model based on the CAD drawings.

      Your submission should have the following items within the BIM model:


      The model must be referenced properly with grid lines and level information. Proper annotation of the model is also necessary. Finishes are not necessary but will be good if you feel confident to undertake this task. The model should include furniture and fixtures components (from Revit library, non-copyrighted material from the internet, or developed by yourself)
