Assignment Details: – Production of a 3Dimensional computer model suitable for a planning application that is BIM compliant together with discussion relation to BIM in te UK.
Task 1
You are to demonstrate the practical use of a 3D software package to generate a computerised model suitable for construction and manufacturing. An appreciation of the production of drawings by a 3D CAD system using standard components.
Produce a series of A3 drawings to a recognised scale of typical constructional details (7 minimum) such as floor plans, elevations and a building section from the information provided. Use a number of scaled viewports to show the details and have them printed to hardcopy. Each drawing will be assessed for compliance with the following:-
• Are the details drawn correctly? • Are dimensions added correctly and are readable? • Has text been added correctly and neatly? • Have line weights been used? • Has appropriate line types been used? (Dashed and Continuous) • Create and use template file • Use of REVIT sheets to present • A3 print from printer/plotter • Use of drawing, title, and title block text
Walls to be used are
External (You will have to take an existing Revit wall and update by the duplicate method to produce the following – 20mm Render, 100 Blockwork, 40mm air gap, 75mm insulation, 100mm Blockwork and 12mm plaster on the inside.
Internal – Basic Wall – Partn p – 75i – p Stud
The drawings to be used for Task 1 are located on Moodle and should be printed off should any dimensions need to be scaled or checked. When printing do not apply any ‘print to fit’ or ‘shrink to fit’ adjustments. The files need to be printed ‘actual size’ to enable students to use a scale ruler to aid the production of the model.
Task 2
The industry is at a transition stage where government contracts state that all work has to use the ‘BIM’ principal.
1. Discuss your understanding of ‘BIM (Guide 150 – 200 words) 2. Discuss the different BIM levels (Guide 150 – 200 words) 3. What government policies have been introduced to force the ‘BIM’ agenda (Guide 150 – 200 words)
