The files below are to help students look at and understand the evolving CAD market, the way Data is added and handled, and the tools we might use in analysing the data, singularly or combined within a computer progran like CAD or a spreadsheet
Integrated Digital Design
This first slide set outlines the subject base, its not a whole story, just a route map, looking at just some of the subjects and possible paths we might take when we discus data in association with the AEC industry.
Digital Execution Plan
Its not so much a plan more a statement of how and what will be used on any project from software, to storage
IFC data export and compatability
Programs rarley talk to each other, IFC is supposed to be the common format, the Babel Tower of CAD
BIM & Heritage
This slide set is there to remind us of the vast difference between old and new products,
Revit Vs Autocad Categories Vs Layers
A review slide set of the difference between Revit andAutocad in ihe use of Layering in Autocad V's Revits approach of Family
Digital Weather
This slide set introduces the concept of external Data, in thiscase the use of Met office weather data
Printing and Paper Space & Title Block
Until we fully use the 3D model, we need to use paper or electronic paper, this slide set looks at paper size
The Federated Model
When a digital model is properly done, comparison are easy to do, this slide set reviews this with Navisworks
Design & Access Statement
The design and access statement is a legal requirement for any planning application, as such its a usefull tool to expand on the digital plan, and show how the data embeded into the model could be used
Collective or Collaborative BIM
Storage is an intergasl part of any design office, this slide set looks at what to use and how it might be incorporated into the digital plan
BIM 360 Glue
The area of online stirage and its evolvment into online programs evolves, this slide set will help to understand this growing area, its always going to be under review, the pace of change is almost daily
Understanding the specification before applying it to the model
Specificastion generation is changing with the introduction of BIM but the need to understand the materials used and the correct way to add it to the model will be covered here.
Agrement Certification
The agrement certificate is fundemental to any specification, and a very useful tool in developing a specification thats compliant with the Building Regulations
Schedules
Once the data is embeded into the model, we need an easy way to extract it so contractors and the like can inspect and order materials, the Schedule tool in Revit is the best and easiest way to do this.
Cobie Files & Specification
Cobie Files are the approved way to export Schedules, I woud like to say they are well used, but they are not, but we need to study them.
Space Planning For FM
Maping areas is a task thats required for almost any large project so areas or rooms may be allocated or areas measured easily, Revit has a very useful tool to do this.
The Future of BIM and Data in FM
Its inevitable that BIM and data will survive, but there will always be barriers and opposition, this slide set takes a look at this
Photos & Photogrammetry
Data is everwere, this slide set takes a look ar photos and we see how much data is captured or could be captured
