Building Information Modelling for Architecture Design Essentials

About this course:

Take an idea from conceptual design to construction documentation within a single software environment. Create more accurate designs with stunning visualisations.

• Design and documentation
  Place intelligent elements like walls, doors and windows. generates floor plans, levels, sections, schedules, 3D views and renderings.
• Analysis
  Optimise building performance early in the design process.
• Visualisation
  Generate photorealistic renderings. Create documentation with cut-aways, and 3D views and stereo panoramas to extend your design to virtual reality
• Multidiscipline co-ordination
  Is a multi-discipline BIM platform allowing you to share model data with engineers and contractors within, reducing coordination tasks.

• Understand how BIM changes how a building is designed
• Develop good 3D modelling techniques
• Create 2D details from your 3D model
• Create construction documents

Areas covered:

• Learn the right way to create a project – what to do first, second, etc. – and avoid mistakes later 
• The power of  – dimension an entire wall in just 2 clicks 
• Options for adding and modifying dimensions

• Add simple furniture, understand families and hosted families 
• Align model elements to different floors to avoid repetitive tasks and ensure accuracy 
• Produce a near-photorealistic rendering in just 4 clicks 
• Why schedules in  are 100% accurate
