Some recent updates:

Latest Build: 30th July 2013 – Final Build compatible with AutoCAD2012

Some upcoming release information:_This build implements Revit 2014. (Revit 2012 and 2013 can continue to be used)_When using new project wizard, if the library folder exists and contains a library mdb, the original file will be renamed with a version suffix rather than replaced_Equipment legends will now output 3d thumbnails when they exist_Delete Homeless rooms, will now remove all floors and departments that contain no rooms_Have added an option to the Load ribbon bar to organise rooms and floors according to the Revit levels_The Revit elements that bound a room are now collected during a sync and displayed in the Room Editor_When updating designed equip list, the current Revit design option will be displayed in dialog for information_The C Sheet equipment schedule now writes entire schedule to a single shared param, that can be included as a label of the view sheet title family_File paths of pictures in flex reports were not being defined correctly with \\, broken a few builds back when changing how network paths were manipulated_Equipment usage reports now include alternative cad names._This will be the final build that provides Acad 2012 support

_Codebook News

2 x Presentations (approx. 30mins each)

Revit C-sheets – a BIM Unicorn

The A, B, C & D of Space Planning Technologies

Questions (approx. 10mins)

Things to note:

- Limited time.

- We ask that questions are ideally relevant to the topic and content of the presentation.

We ask that broader scope questions or specific technical issues are addressed to your local host, who will ensure they reach the rest of the group

and can be appropriately actioned.

Alternatively questions that arise out meeting maybe submitted to: cbug.au@gmail.com

That BIM definition… again…

Building information modelling (BIM) is the process of generating and managing building data during the life cycle of the built structure.

It uses three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modelling software to increase productivity in building design, construction and occupation.

The process produces the building information model (also abbreviated BIM), which encompasses building geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, quantitiesand properties of building components and spaces.

Many forms of analysis can then be performed on this digital prototype before it is actually physically built in its environment at great cost.

Alternative BIM definition• Building Information Management is an

alternative description of BIM, focussed on the management of information and process.

• Once the design principles and project aspirations are identified, they should drive how the BIM is developed, it’s content and final use - the project team need to be aware of this!

• Information should develop integrally within the design and the whole team understand the needs and deliverables at each project milestone.

• What information do our clients require and when?• Generic arrangements

• Specialist areas

• Schedules for Tender / BofQ

• Internal QA checks

• Brief vs. Design

• Client management

• Identification

• Design criteria

• Fabric & finishes

• Schedule of Areas• Functional brief• Equipment schedule

Briefing Rooms

FF&EValidation

Space Planning Technology

...is a general term used to describe software packages that:

o enable the briefing of facilitieso integrate briefing data with BIM’so generate reportso analysis of brief vs. designo some functionality beyond designo or the ability to export data downstream

Typical inputs + outputs

SPT in BIM

Revit does many things...Modelling...Documentation...Basis for visualisation...

Object oriented

No object = no information

Alan Johnston Drawing a Shadow

Alan Johnston used white walls as a blank sheet of paper on which to base his drawing. He divided Galleries 1, 2 and 3 up into unequal frames, drawing directly with a pencil onto the walls in strips covering an area of about 2 square cm. Navigating the corners, recesses and architraves; the space which is left is equally as important as the space that he fills in; constantly measuring the shape in space, he makes sculpture out of architecture.

Revit considerations

Data Author –

BIM or SPT?

Map it out and

make sure the

team know

Shared or System

System parameters – built in, for specific uses

Shared parameters – user defined, do anything!

Categories

You may also choose

to use categories such

as Communication

Devices, Data Devices,

Fire Alarm... available

within the Building

Design Suite

Unique selling point

Affinity – planning module

BuildingOne – FM solution

CodeBook – works with multiple

design tools

Advice?

_Get training, or embed a specialist in your team

_Shoot the content re-designers, re-namer, that over model, over

complicate....

_Know your project delivery requirements, define the deliverables, their

format etc...

_define roles and define the Data Author

_Design what is important

_Technology doesn’t stop bad work
