Previously Self-Employed – CAD Customization / Automation / Integration Manufacturing Background (Building Product Manufacturers) ▪CAM

Systems, CNC Machining, etc.

Worked in the following industries (Jack of all trades – master of none) ▪Casework,

Architectural Precast, Steam Piping (power generation), Electrical (building & control panel), Dimension Stone, Furniture & Cabinet Components, Windows, Mfg Facilities Layout, Dress Patterns, Agricultural Equipment, Disk Drive Assemblies, Electrical Components, Aggregate Conveyor Systems, Switchgear & Gen Sets, Utility Trailers, CAD Software Consulting/Tech Support, Fire Alarm, Security, Data & Telecom, etc. etc.

Premise of Course – BIM is NOT Software

What is BIM? ▪

Leveraging CAD Data to those who need it or could use it

▪

Linking CAD and non-graphical data

▪

Linking non-Graphical data to CAD

▪

BIM is a process or methodology, not a software package (BIM <> Revit)

▪

Managing all data aspects of a building for the life of a building BIM = Building Information Management (like PLM / Product Lifecycle Management in Manufacturing)

Software – Only the Tool ▪

Revit - CAD (parametric CAD) designed to do BIM

▪

AutoCAD Verticals – CAD that does BIM ▪

▪ ▪

▪ ▪

▪

▪

Architecture MEP Structure Civil3d Map 3d Plant3d

AutoCAD – CAD that “can do” BIM

Quantity Take-Off Labor Take-Off Cost Take-Off NOT an “Estimate”

6d Facilities Management ▪ ▪

Linked O&M Manuals, Submittals, etc.

Integration w/Building Automation Systems

What are Your uses? What are Others doing?

▪

Acoustical simulation ▪

Hear what the “un-built” environment will sound like

▪

Fire / Heat simulation ▪ Environmental Comfort analysis ▪

▪

Dynamic Communication Exchange ▪

▪

One application drives another vs. data conversion/exchange

Parametric Design Iterations ▪

▪

Not just interior – exterior (wind, sound, sunlight, trees, etc.)

Automate analysis of multiple design configurations

Visual Recognition ▪

Photos & Video to CAD, automated inspection ▪ Worker / Equipment tracking – electronic safety ▪ Customer Movement Tracking – analysis of and improve store layout

Interesting BIM Related Thoughts…

(Plagiarized without permission)

▪

MIME – Minimum Impact – Maximum Effect

▪

Traditional SD->DD->CD exceed budget, reduce scope and quality cycle. Like driving blind folded and opening eyes every 1/2 hour to see where you are.

▪

Precision vs Accuracy ▪ ▪

▪

Imprecision is Ok, Inaccuracy is NOT Dart Board – Tight Off Center Pattern vs. Loose Centered Pattern

Class Detection is Non-Value Added / Class Avoidance is Goal Customer didn’t pay to create clashes, shouldn’t pay to eliminate them ▪ Class detection moves problems from field to office (less costly) but still problem ▪

▪

BIM Doesn’t Solve All Problems / BIM Requires Intelligent Decisions

▪

Vision without Action is a Daydream – Action without vision is a Nightmare

▪

Revit is not more BIM than Internet Explorer is the World Wide Web
