Understanding the Coordination & Clash Detection Process
Live Virtual Course for 1-10 students
Are you being asked to participate in a BIM coordination and clash detection process, but don't really understand what that means? This course provides an overview of that process, the typical contract requirements, and what you need to do to successfully participate.
Course Summary
This course is intended to introduce specialty equipment
contractors and engineers to the BIM processes most widely used in the design
and construction industry. The
information focuses on BIM workflows, including coordinating in an Autodesk
Construction Cloud project, BIM 360 Glue, and Navisworks. This is not a course for how to use and model
in Revit, although we will spend time to ensure we can get model data in and
out to allow documentation in other desired software packages.
The goals of the course are as follows:
Gain a basic understanding of BIM.
Understand how to navigate and
effectively make use of projects in the Autodesk Construction Cloud.
Learn how to transfer model data
between Revit, AutoCAD, and Navisworks.
Have a basic understanding of how
to create and modify views in Revit for import and export purposes.
Understand the Navisworks clash
detection process.
Learn the typical contract requirements and expectations.
Course Structure
This is a live virtual course. Each training session will take place online via Zoom or
Teams, and will last 1 to 1.5 hours each.
We provide 1 training session per week, and students should anticipate an additional 1-2 hours of
exercises outside of the online training. While we offer the syllabus as a guide, learning may be customized to the students' needs.
About our virtual courses:
While Performance BIM will be
presenting, this is not intended as a “lecture course.”
Training should be a dialog, and
discussions / questions / alternate viewpoints are encouraged.
If a question covers a topic that
requires more extensive discussion, we may request to table that until another
session.
The session organization serves as
a template and may be adjusted based on project needs.
Prerequisites
Each participant must have the following software packages
available during the sessions to participate in real time:
Autodesk Revit v2023. Note – We can begin the work within Revit LT
initially. However, there are
substantial limitations related to our industry and collaborating with other
trades that may make this challenging. If
you are planning to work regularly within Revit, you should consider an AEC
Design Collection subscription, which will include Revit, AutoCAD, and
Navisworks (among other software).
Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro
license (optional). This license will be
required to work “live” on an ACC site. We
will provide an overview of this product and how it pertains as part of the
course.
Participants should have access to a minimum of 2
screens – 1 to watch the presentation, and 1 to run the software in real time.
