Week 2 Challenge

1st Ans) The full form of BIM is building information modelling. It is a methodology by which a team of archietects , engineers can work by collaborating with each other to execute a construction projects by using same computer or laptop. BIM can store more amount of data including part performance characteristics. Today designs of several projects across the world are prepared through BIM only. BIM is better than 2D CAD tools because , BIM has an advanage of producing 3D models with advanced features in a less span of time. BIM is good at its cloud computing nature , by which time can be saved a lot.

RESULT : We have learnt how to fill project details , saving it and setting maximum backup.

7th Ans)

AIM: To insert different types of model elements succh as doors windows , chair , couch , bed , lamps etc. to the revit model.

TOOLS USED :

PROCEDURE :

a) Select wall menu to draw a wall in imperial architecture template.

b) Click on architecture type of wall.

c) Select line command to draw.

d) Draw a simple house plan which includes only walls.

e) After drawing convert your house plan into 3D.

f) The 3D plan from top view will looks like layout.

g) Then click on annotate tool bar and then click aligned option to measure the

dimensions of the model.

h) Measure the total dimensions.
