How has Building Information Modeling (BIM) impacted the design and construction process? How does this affect the lighting industry and the workflow between lighting designers, architects and engineers? In this presentation, we’ll discuss strategies for effective collaboration using Autodesk Revit and utilizing the data within a building information model for downstream uses.
5
Describe the pros and cons of different Revit workflows between architects, engineers and lighting designers Understand how to avoid common problems exchanging Revit models Effectively utilize the data in a Revit model in the design phase Understand how the data in the Revit model can be used beyond the design phase Understand the COBie standard and why it's important

Commonly Used BIM platform in the US Available via subscription (current version + 3 previous) Design Suite Premium (Revit, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Navisworks) $340/month, $2,730/yr – annual commitment per license Revit Collaboration (Revit, AutoCAD, BIM 360) $315/mo, $2,500/year Perpetual Licenses (not available after July 31 2016): $6,825, add $1000 for cloud services and previous versions Revit LT is NOT a good option-doesn’t offer lighting tools Revit is NOT backwards compatible You must use the same version as the rest of the team There is no ‘saving down’
9
Spend money on processor: Core i7 or Xeon RAM is cheap, so MAX it out. General rule: file size x 20 = amount of RAM Solid State Drive is a necessity Dedicated Graphics Useful for working in 3d Gaming cards work well and are significantly cheaper than “Pro” cards
10
Everyone on a team works in one model Central File = lives on office server Local File = lives on user workstation Revit keeps track of every element and who “borrows” it to make changes All views, sheets and schedules live in this one model
11
Separate models for each discipline Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing – all separate files Lighting Designers typically control their own model Architects and Engineers may Copy/Monitor fixtures for their own use Arch Struct MEP Lighting
12
Lighting Designer links in Architectural Model (Origin to Origin) May use Copy/Monitor for initial fixture placement Three Strategies to place new fixtures: Face-Based Objects Hosted to Architectural Elements PRO: Can attach to: ceilings/slabs/walls in Architectural model CON: If host is deleted, object is orphaned Face-Based Hosted to Reference Planes PRO: Reference Planes live in lighting model only CON: Still requires manual coordination Free Floating Objects PRO: No risk of becoming orphaned CON: Must coordinate heights manually
13
Revit Models live in the cloud – access from anywhere Lighting Designer can now work directly in Architectural and/or Electrical model in real-time– should they? $100/month/user or $800/yr (in addition to software cost)

15
Not too “heavy” – not every screw is modeled Proper IES information Face-Based Tip: Create as non-hosted and then nest in face-based template Detail Levels properly defined Materials defined 2d Graphics in 2d Views Electrical Connectors
16
Clean 2d-graphics Not over-modeled Proper IES information Electrical Connector
17
When possible, schedules should be generated from model elements Schedule structures can be re-used across projects, so include fixture schedule in a template Editing data in a Revit schedule is tedious – look for add-ins to allow export to Excel and re-import If schedule lives solely in Excel, Ideate Sticky can link into Revit with format intact
18
Owners are looking at extracting BIM data for operations Guidelines defined in a BIM Execution Plan COBie = Construction Operations Building Information Exchange standard for data exchange Warranty Information, Expected Life, Replacement Cost, etc. COBie deliverable is a spreadsheet generated from the model IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) = openBIM file format
