BIM and Autodesk Revit classes
Autor: Petar Bajsić, 3.b
In the Erasmus+ student mobility program #bit in Ireland the students of classes B (electrical technicians) and classes D (civil technicians) were attending a course in BIM and Autodesk Revit.
BIM (Building information Modeling) is a type of workflow where all the necessary information is put into a single file and that includes the construction and architecture drawings, plumbing, HVAC and electrical plans. BIM models often include necessary simulations, for example, the amount of light coming into a room and the structural integrity of the building. It is useful to have all of the information in one place so the flow of information is not obstructed like it is in the traditional workflow (paper plans and drawings).
The program that we used was Autodesk Revit 2023. It is a BIM capable program used for designing construction and MEP plans. MEP stands for mechanical, electrical and plumbing. We learned how to draw walls, floors, ceilings, roofs as well as foundations. To the basic structures we added doors, windows, furniture and many other things that made our models look better. We also created sections of walls and floors so we could see the internals of said elements. Revit has a capability to create 3D rendered views that could be used for marketing purposes and to provide a better and more realistic picture of the project we are working on.
We created 3 projects during the student mobility.
One project was a simple project basepoint, used as a base. It includes the project coordinates that are used for Sun tracing and weather predictions. We also learned how to create and pin grids that are used for organization of rooms and spacing in the project. We learned how to use phases. Phases are used for planning the process of construction throughout time.
The second project was creating a simple bungalow. We had to draw the walls, roof, windows and door as well as tag all the doors and windows. We created sections of the wall and foundation. After that, we created 3D views and renders of the bungalow. All the information was organized and stored on A1 sheets that were drawn in Revit.
The third and final project was a group project. We worked in teams of five. The task was to create a model of a restaurant and café complex that included an outside seating space and an underground car park. Each member was tasked to do one part of the project. That included drawing the model, decorating the interior, making sheets and 3D rendered views. The final project was composed of 2 restaurants, a café, outside seating space and an underground car park.
We learned much about using Revit and the BIM workflow, practicing our English skills in a professional work environment.
