2 What this Class is and is NOT During this 90 minute presentation I will reveal the methodology that I developed in my Architecture firm. I will be showing the end result of a long process and interconnectivity with various programs. This Class is a big picture class. We intend to cover several concepts, and here at AU you will find specific classes on the several topics I am covering here. Unfortunately, I do not have the time in 90 minutes to do step by step operations nor is this class intended to get into every detail.

3 Announcements For the courtesy of your classmates, please silence your Cellular Phones, ipads, Laptops, or any other bells or whistles you may be packing. Please hold questions until the end. We have a lot of material to cover and I WILL answer all of your questions. 1. Remember that there is a place to ask AU online. This is a great tool to begin a discussion/thread. 2. The handout has my address. Please communicate your thoughts. Remember!!! At the end of the class I have prizes! Stick around for the drawing. I am giving away 4 copies of AutoCAD and its Applications Comprehensive by Terence Shumaker and David Madsen - Goodheart Wilcox publishers.

5 Introduction The core of Building Information Modeling is data linked directly to a computer aided design. The goal for the design team at WA is to maintain the integrity of the linked data between programs. The end result is the Project Architect has data readily available for workshops, building coordination, client presentations and construction documents. We attempt to maintain the integrity of the data throughout all phases of programming or building design by keeping data linked wherever possible.

7 Defining BIM and Productivity for your firm How are you defining BIM? Is your firm signing IPD contracts? If not, are you getting Additional Services for BIM coordination? What makes AutoCAD Architecture a successful BIM Tool? Its Spaces and Data is very manageable with Property Sets It is modular - You can create many different files to analyze, represent, visualize data. The Project Navigator allows for streamlining functionality. The BIM models are LINKABLE!!!!!

8 The Big I in BIM Data Collection and Reporting Case Study - University of Massachusetts Amherst 50 Building Comprehensive Plan for Science and Engineering. BIM Data keyed into every Building, Floor, and Room to evaluate aspects of existing conditions. Data was then extracted for publication. Study will exhibit the flow of BIM data inputted directly from our model into the final publication. Future coordination with ongoing campus-wide Masterplan. BIM Data to be coordinated with UMASS GIS System.

10 BIM Data from Drawing File Connecting the Campus, Building, Floors, and Rooms First Floor Goessmann Lab Room by Room BIM Data Each smart space contains vast data. Data is then scheduled and exported for publication. All raw data can be reused and scheduled in multiple formats.

Building Programming Linking programming

12 Building Programming Linking programming data and presentations As smart spaces are used to store the information gathered during the programming and design process, the live BIM files can be used for direct generation of presentation graphics with no discrepancies between the scheduled data and the graphic representation.

13 Building Programming The client room criteria is documented during the initial phases of the project. Updating this data throughout the design, keeping it current, provides a living reference for the design team. Documenting the Room Design & Technical Criteria

14 Building Programming BIM data in drawing set coordination: Room names Room numbers Finishes Net area calculated from space geometry Wall construction types User equipment properties Door location and properties

15 Leveraging AutoCAD Architecture Construction Document format: Constructs, Views and Sheets Tabs Plotting: Hard copy devices and DWF Page Setup overrides. Dealing with renovation projects - Establishing multiple levels Graphics depicting project setup and page setup overrides are located in your handouts.

17 Model Visualization Coordination Linking Software Together Direct 3D Model linking for real-time model updates into 3D Studio MAX Visualization program. Model linked directly to Visualization Program (Ceiling Removed for Clarity)

18 Coordinated Output Rendering Final Product

19 File Linking to Impression

20 3D Prototyping (Rapid Prototyping) 3D Print was created by a direct export of the BIM model. Coordinated a 500 hour three city 3D Print of the proposed building in less than one week.
