Study Notes

Examination Paper: BE575 Building Information Modelling

Exam Period: May/June 2024
Time Allowed: 1 hour
Instructions: Answer all questions. Marks for each question are indicated on the paper. Record answers on the provided paper. No answer book needed.

Question 1: Building Information Modelling

Definition: Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a methodology for managing building information.
Alternatives: It is not a project management technique, a facility design software, or an architectural design software.

Question 2: Parametric Model

Definition: A model with adjustable parameters that allows modification of its 3D structure is known as a parametric model.
Alternatives: Linear, flexible, and CADD models are not suitable definitions.

Question 3: Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)

Definition: IFC is an object-based format that enables information sharing among various design software.
Alternatives: UniSoftware, Access Software, and Microsoft Excel are not object-based formats for information sharing.

Question 4: Common Data Environment (CDE)

Definition: A common information hub accessible to stakeholders in a project is called a Common Data Environment (CDE).
Alternatives: Embedded information, data exchange specification, and none of the above are incorrect definitions.

Question 5: 7D BIM

Definition: 7D BIM refers to a combination of building execution plan, construction cost, facility management, and project lifecycle model.

Question 6: Federated Model

Definition: A composite BIM model created by combining separate discipline models into one is called a federated model.
Alternatives: Industry Foundation Classes, Open 3D, and Project 3D models are not correct definitions.

Question 7: Clash Detection in BIM

Definition: Clash detection in BIM is the process of identifying conflicts between 3D models.
Alternatives: Identifying clashes in materials schedule, project material costs, or among construction stakeholders are not the primary definition of the process.

Question 8: BIM Coordination Software

Correct Answer: Autodesk Navisworks.
Other Options: Autodesk Revit, SketchUp, and Autodesk AutoCAD are not BIM coordination software.

Question 9: BIM Object Definition

Definition: A BIM object is a 3-dimensional model of a construction component with its associated data.
Alternatives: 2-dimensional drawings, models without associated data, or object specifications are not correct definitions of a BIM object.

Question 10: BIM Services Provider

Providers: BIM services are provided by a team of architects, engineers, consultants, and associated construction stakeholders.
Alternatives: Company directors, managing directors, and town planning authorities are not the correct answers.

Question 11: Autodesk Cloud Worksharing

Definition: Autodesk cloud platform for worksharing, collaboration, and data management, is called BIM 360.
Alternatives: Autodesk composite, Autodesk 3D, or Autodesk Skye are incorrect.

Question 12: Non-BIM Software

Answer: AutoCAD is not a BIM software.
Alternative Options: Revit, Navisworks, and IES VE are BIM software.

Question 13: 3D BIM

Definition: 3D BIM is a project lifecycle model and a shared information model.
Incorrect: Construction safety, AutoCAD are not good definitions.

Question 14: BIM Model Validation

Definition: The process of checking if BIM models contain the required geometry and information is called BIM model validation.
Alternatives: BIM coordination, clash detection, and BIM advancing are other steps but not the main point of this question.

Question 15: BIM Design Intent

Definition: The process where a 3D software is used to develop a building information model based on criteria to represent the building's design intent is called BIM design authoring.
Alternatives: BIM design coordination, BIM product, and BIM software are not the correct answer.

Question 16: BIM Viewer

Definition: Software used to view 3D renderings without needing the original software is called a BIM viewer.
Alternatives: TeamViewer, BIM authoring software, and all the above are not the correct definition.

Question 17: Entity Occurrence

Definition: The occurrence of an entity at a particular location and orientation within a model is known as an Instance.
Alternatives: Specie, product, and viewpoint are not suitable definitions.

Question 18: Construction Process

Definition: A sequence of stages from the start to the end of the construction process is called Construction Project Lifecycle.
Alternatives: Processes like construction closeout, process lifecycle, property lifecycle are too shallow.

Question 19: Project Intentions

Definition: A high-level statement of intentions and arrangements for a project is known as a Project Execution Plan.
Alternatives: Project information model, construction specifications, and BIM operation are not suitable definitions for project intentions.

Question 20: BIM Project Execution Step

Incorrect Step: Designing the 3D model is not a step in the BIM Project Execution Planning process.
Alternatives: Identification of BIM goals, Designing of BIM project execution process, and development of information exchanges are steps within the process.
