Introduction to BIM Module 01 BIM Modeling Basics
Introduction to BIM Module 01 – BIM Modeling Basics
Lesson Overview • In this lesson, students explore basics techniques for using the Autodesk® Revit® Architecture software to create a building information model of a simple structure—a one-story residence • Students will learn how to: – – Model exterior and interior walls Add doors and windows to the walls Create simple floor and roof elements View the completed building model Introduction to BIM
Learning Objectives After completing this lesson, students 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 Introduction to BIM
Exercise 01: Modeling Exterior and Interior Walls In this exercise, students will be able to: • Create walls by picking their location line and sketching them in a plan view • Change the orientation of walls that have been placed Introduction to BIM
Exercise 01: Modeling Exterior and Interior Walls Student Exercise • Continue adding exterior and interior walls to the building model using the underlay drawing as a guide • Create new exterior walls using the Generic 8" wall type • Add new interior walls using the Generic 3” wall type Introduction to BIM
Exercise 02: Adding Doors and Windows In this exercise, students will be able to: • Add door and windows to a building model by choosing their type and placing components in host walls • Change door and window placement • Change door and window height properties Introduction to BIM
Exercise 02: Adding Doors and Windows Student Exercise • Continue adding interior and exterior doors to the building model at the locations indicated the underlay drawing • Add windows to the east exterior wall • Use the window types and sizes shown in the legend • Set the head height property for all windows to be 7 feet Introduction to BIM
Exercise 03: Creating Floors and Roofs In this exercise, students will be able to: • Create roofs based on the building footprint • Sketch a roof boundary and selecting the slope-defining edges • Set the roof level and slope instance properties Introduction to BIM
Exercise 03: Creating Floors and Roofs Student Exercise • Create a new roof over the living areas of the project model by tracing the footprint indicated by the red model lines • Place a flat roof over the carport area by tracing the outer boundary indicated by the blue model lines shown in the view Introduction to BIM
Assessment Modeling Exterior and Interior Walls • If a wall is connected to other walls, how will moving one affect the others? • What methods can you use to resize a wall? Introduction to BIM
Assessment Adding Doors and Windows • What do the temporary dimensions for a door or window element typically show? • How can you indicate the hinge side and the flip of a door as you are placing it? After it has been placed? • When you place doors or windows in 3 D views, how is the level associated with them determined? Introduction to BIM
Assessment Creating Floors and Roofs • When you create a roof by footprint, how is the shape of each of the roof surfaces determined? • What determines the appropriate slope for a roof? Introduction to BIM
Key Terms Used Key Term Definition Type properties Properties are common to many elements in a family. A type property affects all instances (individual elements) of that family in the project and any future instances that you place in the project. Properties that apply to individual instances (elements) of a family type in the project. Instance properties tend to vary with the location of an element in a building or project. An instance property affects only one selected element, or the element that you are about to place. Different views of the model such as plan, elevation, section, and 3 D views. The outer limits or edges of many building elements, such as stairs, floors, or roofs. The measurement from the floor up to the bottom of the rough opening or sill of a door or window. The measurement from the floor to the top of the rough opening or head of a door or window. Instance property Project views Boundary lines Sill height Head height Introduction to BIM
