Study Notes

Slide 7: Drawing Sets and Standards in AEC

  • Construction Drawings are also known as working drawings
  • They contain all required information for building the design.
  • They are an important deliverable of final design.
  • They include all specifications.
  • Technical drawings are also special types of engineering drawings.
  •  Licensed professional engineers seal the drawings.
  •  This certifies quality to the best of their professional judgment
  •  They must follow standards regulated by organizations like APEGA.
  • Construction Drawing Packages are for building projects.
  • Architectural drawings show the overall shape of a building, rooms.
  • Structural drawings show structural components, such as grade and size.
  • Mechanical drawings show details of HVAC and plumbing.
  • Electrical drawings show electrical layouts.
  • Civil drawings show site grading plans, drainage and utility layouts.
  • Landscape drawings show landscape layouts.
  • Different drawing types include Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Reflected Ceiling Plans.
  • Floor plans show the layout of a floor with labels for rooms, walls, doors/windows, stairs and furniture.
  •  How-to draw a Plan: Create a horizontal cutting plane to represent a floor view and create a section view with the cutting plane
  • Reflected Ceiling Plans show ceiling layouts.
  • Construction drawing packages for road projects include plan views and profile views.

Slide 8: BIM Introduction

  • AEC projects are difficult to manage as they involve multiple organizations, unfixed locations, and unstructured environments.
  • BIM is a modeling process to manage all aspects of a facility's life cycle.
  • BIM models are used as containers for this collective information.
  • BIM model development involves several steps, from hand drawing to 2D CAD, and finally, 3D CAD.
  • BIM models are comprised of BIM components, like data describing components.
  • Models can be used to conduct calculations (e.g., quantity takeoffs, energy analysis).
  • BIM allows information to automatically be linked to software applications used for analyses.
  • Using BIM saves time and resources due to better communication and data management.
  •  BIM improves communication and analysis processes.

Slide 9: BIM Core - Object-based Parametric Modelling

  • Object-based parametric modelling (OPM) is a modeling technique where elements are represented as objects.
  • OPM uses parameters and rules to determine geometric and non-geometric features.
  • OPM differs from traditional CAD which doesn't use parameters.
  • Early 3D Modelling used Boundary Representation (B-rep) and Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG).
  • B-rep representation uses sets of closed surface while CSG uses functions to define primitive shapes.
  • Both utilize Boolean operations for shapes.
  • Comparing B-rep and CSG shows their different properties based on how they define shapes.
  • A CSG model is easily edited and regenerated by just changing parameters.

Slide 10: Drawing Generation and BIM Applications

  • Drawings are still needed despite BIM, as contracts and work cultures are accustomed to 2D drawings.
  • BIM can be used to generate 2D drawings from the underlying model.
  • BIM is good for managing drawings, reports, and data sets; while ensuring drawings are uniform (consistent)
  • BIM enables consistent drawings, reports, and datasets that can be reused throughout the life of a project, saving time and resources.
  • BIM is advantageous in handling changes, such as changing a wall's location, as the changes will be consistent across all relevant drawings.

Slide 11: BIM Environment

  • BIM environments encompass tools, platforms, servers, libraries, and workflow processes used in building projects.
  • Different BIM applications, platforms, and tools help in various aspects of a model, like modeling generators, review tools, and management tools.
  • These tools facilitate information exchange and processing within the project life cycle.

Slide 12: Different BIM Applications (Software Reviews)

  • Various BIM applications (such as Civil3D, Revit, Digital Project, Tekla) are discussed with their pros and cons, highlighting their specific strengths and weaknesses in terms of capability and usage.
  •  Civil3D, Revit, Digital Project, and Tekla Structures are common BIM platforms with differing capabilities and strengths.
  • Pros and Cons for each software are noted.

Slide 13: BIM Tools (Specific Applications)

  • Specific software tools are discussed, such as SmartPlant 3D, Navisworks, Cloud-based systems and their particular strengths.
  • These tools support various aspects of BIM models, like analysis, simulation, collaboration, and management.
  • Some BIM tools, like SmartPlant & Navisworks, focus on detailed design, analysis, and documentation in industrial projects.
  •  Some (Cloud-based) tools help with project and information management.
