Improvements We Made after “The Midterm Comments”

● Bill made modifications to the floor plans and rearrange the furnitures. He also increased the size of
all the tiny rooms. Previously, some rooms was really small (room size: ~60 square feet). Now all
the rooms are at the right size. (room size range: 132 square feet to 209 square feet)
● Jedison added the elevation drawings and added gridlines to all the drawings.
● Kong upgraded the PowerPoint. Added special effects and made the slides look better.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE

● The main objective of our project is create a “BIM model,” which is the 2 stories house.
● “BIM model” contains information that can be used for designing and management of buildings and
infrastructure. For example, the “BIM model” will contain information for the types of materials that
will be use for the walls or the floor, the model will also contain scheduling information and it can
also be used to estimate the cost of the project.
BIM PIT

● BIM projects requires collaboration which usually

takes place in the BIM PIT
● Projects are formulated through group modeling
session
● Consist of
○ Contractor
○ Modeler
○ Designers
○ Bim managers
○ Architect
FILE SHARING
• BIM pit setting
• Most projects require collaboration
that takes place online. Technology of
today allows designers all over the
globe to work together through file
sharing methods
• File Sharing methods
• Tocoman (translation)
• Google drive
• “Link Revit”
• Zoom
MIDDLEWARE/INTEROPERABILITY
● Computer system or software that acts as a messenger from operating system or database.
● Being able to exchange information in a network format
● A good BIM software is designed to allow interoperability. Ideally you want a BIM software to
produce drawings or “BIM models” that can used by many other platforms such as SolidWorks,
AutoCad, ArchiCAD, Revit, and other softwares
● Example of interoperability: When someone imports a Revit drawing to AutoCAD.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED TO RUN REVIT

● Before you can start a Revit project,

○ You will need the Revit software which can be downloaded on the Autodesk website.
○ And you need a powerful computer with certain specifications that will talk about in details in the next
few slides.
