BIM – modelling and managing planning permission

Classes are held in modern computer laboratories of the WSZiB by authorised instructors with many years of experience, based on authorised resources.

Upon completion of the studies, the participants receive:

• A Diploma of completing the Postgraduate Programme (a copy in Polish and in English),
• Certificates of completing the authorised Autodesk training courses,
• An opportunity to take the Autodesk Certified Professional exams.

Module 1. Foundations of modelling (40 hours):

• Basic modelling and documentation principles. LOD.
• Reference objects. Location and orientation. Bonds, relationships.
• Modelling of basic elements. Element editing methods, sketching.
• Using libraries of elements, families, types, occurrences.
• Creating families of local components.

Module 2. Documentation and presentation (20 hours):

• Statements and labels. Descriptions. Details. Appeals. Sheets.
• Project phases, variations. Groups, teams, and parts. Managing graphic styles.
• Working with point clouds. Printing and publishing.
• 3-D presentation views. Rendering and animation.
• Solar, lighting, energy analyses on a building model.
• 3dsMax model visualization: exporting a design from Revit to 3ds Max (.RVT, .3DS, .FBX).
• Setting up shots, lighting the scene and preparing render settings.

Module 3. Parametric component families (30 hours):

• The concept of families. Object categories, families, and types. Parameters: project, global, family.
• Shared and reporting parameters. Formulas in parameters.
• Editing system families.
• Creating and modifying component families – family editor, templates.
• Local family creation environment.

Module 4. Free-form and parametric solid modelling. Dynamo Programming (30 hours):

• Introduction to parametric solid modelling and Dynamo programming.
• Creating and editing of solid models in the family editor and locally.
• Parametric solids. Adaptive components. Repetitions.
• Solid conceptual modelling (surface, lighting, energy analyses on a conceptual model). Transforming a solid model into a BIM model.
• Introduction to Dynamo programming.
• Managing parameters and information in a BIM model using Dynamo.

Module 5. Coordination and management of the project environment (30 hours):

• Traditional design process vs. BIM process. The place of BIM in processes – DBB, DB, IPD. BIM maturity levels. Classification and standardisation in BIM. BuildingSMART. Open BIM.
• Project Management. Project Standards. Extensions. Libraries.
• Industry collaboration through .rvt, .dwg, .ifc files. IFC Browsers.
• Revit analytical model and structural analysis – Robot.
• Foundations of installation modelling. BIM in infrastructure.
• Group collaboration within a project: locally and globally.
• Integration and model management in Navisworks (TimeLiner, Animator, Scripter, collisions).
• Managing the project environment (CDE) through “cloud” applications.

Module 6. Diploma seminar (10 hours):

• Presentation and discussion of students’ theses.
