SE4259 - Beyond the Limits: Using Autodesk ®

Revit ® and Navisworks ® for Design CollaborationJoseph Huang, PhD, AIALuther LampkinMWH

© 2011 Autodesk

Class Summary

In this class you will explore the implementation of Autodesk ® Revit ® and Navisworks ® on a pilot project with the specific project type. You will see some best practices of using BIM workflow for design collaboration and experience sharing from a complex project with joint venture teams across different geographical locations.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this class, you will be able to:

Establish BIM protocol for the kick-off meeting

Training new users during the BIM project integration process

Developing a workflow strategy for projects with multiple models and file formats

Classifying the color legend and purposes of Navisworks coordination models

Use shared parameters and Revit DB Link for the life cycle database

BIM Model is a Project Database

One or a few central models instead of hundreds of 2D drawings

Better coordination – fewer errors because the drawings are produced by a parametric change based engine

Virtual design & construction with real materials and intelligent data associated

BIM Protocol

© 2011 Autodesk

BIM Protocol

The key part of E202 is the definition of two fundamental concepts:

• Level of Development (LOD)

• Model Element Author (MEA)

AIA E202-2008: Building Information Modeling Protocol Exhibit

Level of Development (LOD)LOD 100 - Conceptual Design, massing models can be used to perform whole building types of analysis (volume, building orientation, cost per square foot, etc.)

LOD 200 - Schematic Design or Design Development, the model would consist of "generalized systems or assemblies with approximate quantities, size, shape, location and orientation."

LOD 300 - Model elements are suitable for the generation of traditional Construction Documents. As such, analysis and simulation is authorized for detailed elements and systems.

LOD 400 - This level of development is considered to be suitable for fabrication and assembly (i.e. shop drawings). The MEA is most likely to be the trade contractor or fabricator as it is usually outside the scope of the architect's or engineer's services.

LOD 500 - The final level of development represents the project as it has been constructed - the As-Built conditions. The model is suitable for maintenance and operations of the facility.

BIM Roles and Responsibilities

Use BIM for design, production, visualization, LEED, cost estimating & construction phases

Engineering integrated instead of treating it as the designer’s job

3 important roles:

Design Team BIM Manager

Technical Discipline Lead BIM Coordinators

Construction BIM Manager

Staff Roles & Tasks of using Autodesk Revit

Vary per project and per firm Small project – one person may take on all four roles Big project – might require several people in one role

1. Modeling 2. Documentation

3. Detailing 4. Content Creation

© 2011 Autodesk

Preparation for a BIM Project

BIM contract agreement and client’s expectation

BIM kick-off meeting and execution plan

Define level of development and ownership of the models

Team learning curve – need a better training and support

Upfront time and resources during early design phase

Common platform agreement between the design teams

Computer hardware & network speed
