BricsCAD BIM Training Session Documents: http://bit.ly/2gVzElb Based on training session by Kevin Settlemyre

Agenda: Section 1: BIM Basics Break Section 2: BIM Components Section 3: BIM the Model Section 4: BIM Workflows Section 5: BIM Structural Done - Have a great evening…

Section 1: BIM Environment + the Basics Contains: Introduction The User Interface and the Quad Key concepts to keep in mind… Modeling features + approaches Hands-on #1 Q&A + section wrap-up

BricsCAD BIM Mindset Concepts Modeling is primarily in 3d to generate 2d More important to think and act smart, than to just act fast 2D CAD skills can be strong complements to BIM

The UI 1 3 5 7 4 6 2 8

The Quad An alternative to the ribbon Commands at your fingertips Intelligence behind what is displayed based on entity highlighted and most recent commands Keeps users in the working environment

Key Concepts - Edges, Surfaces and Solids

Key Concepts - Ctrl and Tab keys: Gateways to features

Key Concepts - Highlight vs. Select

Modeling: Solids

2. Create new ones from boundary surfaces Modeling: BIMDrag 1. Manipulate individual entities 2. Create new ones from boundary surfaces Connect entities Be creative, there are endless ways BIMDrag and Connect with nearest can be used

Modeling: Boundaries 1. Create solids from it 3. Create complex shapes 4. Be creative… 2. Create solids with it

Modeling: BIMDrag Alternatives Extrude Create Subtract Unite Taper Angle (surface dependent) Set Direction Set Limit Push/Pull Extend or subtract (no relationship)

Hands-on #1 – create an office layout

Section 2: BIM Components Contains: BIMinsert and Standard Libraries Parametric Components BIMSections Hands-on #2a Hands-on #2b Q&A + section wrap-up

BricsCAD BIM Mindset Concepts Components are also .dwg files Components once inserted are block references Components can be changed by properties and parameters Set up a project folder (flat) for all project related files

BIM Components Component BIM

Creating Dynamic Components: Mechanical Browser

Dynamic Component Parameters

Hands-on #2a – create a basic component

Modeling: BIMInsert 1 2

Modeling: BIMInsert – Dynamic Input 3

Modeling: BIMInsert – Dynamic Input 4 5

Modeling: Getting Inside the BIM BIMSections X-Ray Hide Entities

Modeling: BIMSections Plane Volume (Detail) Highlight desired BIMSECTION Quad select DEFINE DETAIL SECTION Draw detail rectangle Define depth to complete volume

Hands-on #2b – BIMInsert components

Section 3: BIM the Model Contains: Structure browser Classifications & Compositions Hands-on #3 BIMSection Workflow Layouts and Sheet Sets Hands-on #4 Q&A + section wrap-up

BricsCAD BIM Mindset Concepts The Structure Browser is your query platform to the BIM Important to think about how everything fits together Keep the data relationships present in your mind

Structure Browser “Interactive Tree” Reports on everything in BIM Establish/Define Order Customization Checking

Classifications A first level of categorization Useful from earliest stage of design, when compositions may not yet be defined. Fits into default setup of Structure browser According to IFC classes

Spatial Locations Define Site, Buildings and Floors Multiple buildings can be within the same file Provides a high level categorization for sets of entities Feeds into Structure Browser

Properties Entity property sections & fields Building & Story Room Properties Changing single or multiple entities

BIM Compositions Layer assembly (plies) Material library Browser Dialog Layer assembly (plies) Material library Use, edit or create In Library & In Project Opens doorway to additional detail in BIM

Composition Plies Edit ply relationships at intersections within the BIM Activate composition geometry to enable changing the forms for specific layers Turn ON BIM: Display compositions to activate Highlight end surface and use BIMDrag to edit

Hands-on #3 – BIM Compositions Structure Browser BIM Compositions BIM Composition Plies

Key Concepts - BIM Section Workflow CREATE BIMSections CREATE sheets Generate + Open Add Detail

Sheet Set Browser Multiple BIMSections of multiple scales can be included Viewports & blocks Updates changes in BIM model Annotations and geometry can be added to sheets

Sheets Multiple BIMSections of multiple scales can be included Viewports & blocks Updates changes in BIM model Annotations and geometry can be added to sheets

Hands-on #4 – BIM Sections, Sheets and Sheet Sets

Section 4: BIM Workflows Contains: BIM Workflows (including IFC) Closing Discussion

BricsCAD BIM Mindset Concepts IFC is another strong way to categorize the BIM There can be different ways to approach a model that can keep it nimble. What goes in, can come out BIMSection Workflow - “What is the right amount of detail?”

File Management Example Project Folder Best Practice: Set up Project folder. Keep it flat. Where the BIM dwg is, is where BIMSection dwgs will be generated by default All other file types generated will by default go to this folder. Different File types .Dwg (BIM, components, sheets, XREF bases) .Dst (sheet set) .Dxd (configuration files – Structure browser) .png (images) .csv (data extraction)

Templates Provides pre-defined settings for a number of settings Units, layers, BIMsections, sheet set creation, etc. Understand hierarchy of files BIM to BIMSection (.dwg) BIM to sheet set (.dst) Sheet set (.dst) to sheet (.dwg) BIMSection (.dwg) to sheet (.dwg) Sheet sets have a sheet template associated (sheet size)

Workflows - IFC IFC2x3 CV2.0 Certified Import & Export Options Associate IFC properties

Workflows – BIM and XREFs

Workflows – Adding Rooms

Workflows – Adding Detail (an introduction) 1 2 3 Create BIMPatch in Modelspace on BIMSection view In Modelspace double- click to launch “Reference Edit”, select desired BIMPatch Add more detail within BIMPatch

Section 5: BIM Structural Contains: Introduction to the new structural tools Hands-on #5 Closing Discussion

Structural Tools A new set of tools to easily and intuitively model structural elements such as beams and columns Integrated library of steel profiles New selection tool

Modeling Tools Linear solids Eccentricities Connections

Profile Library Based on several standards and manufacturer catalogues Most commonly used profile shapes Start drawing from scratch or ‘drag-and-drop’

Select Solids

Hands-on #5 – Adding a canopy
