- Friday, 30 November 2018 - Saturday, 1 December 2018
All Day - UTS
The workshop will provide an introduction to BIM with a focus on the use of the Autodesk’s Revit and Navisworks software. Both programs are industry standard and are used widely by architects, consultants, and construction managers. The technical skills that will be covered include; a practical introduction to Revit and Navisworks software, navigation within 3D and 4D spatial contexts, design and editing elements, clash detection, and 4D simulation.
Program Topics
Day 1 – Friday 30 November
3D BIM: Introduction to BIM concepts- Revit
- Introduction to BIM, course objectives and BIM concepts
- Understanding parametric object-based modelling: BIM dimensions and capabilities
- Introduction to Revit
- Modelling structural grid and family types including wall, windows, doors, slabs, roof, 3D views
- Design concepts: levels, layers, with level details
- Sections, elevations, 3D view and 3D sections
- Callouts, annotations and dimensioning
- Quantity and material takeoff schedules

- File types, appending files and saving
- Introduction to Navisworks’ interface and overview
- Navigation
- Selection tree and selecting objects
- Hiding objects and overriding materials
- Object properties, moving objects

Course Outcomes
By the completion of the workshop, practitioners will have a holistic understanding of BIM and parametric object based modelling and the practical skills involved in creating, navigating and managing BIM. Participants will also have the confidence and capability to work within these spatial contexts at a basic level and to be able to engage effectively with other project team members working in the BIM environment.
The BIM introductory workshop will be held in UTS’s state of the art and newly revamped 5D BIM lab. The workshop is structured over two days; Friday 30 November and Saturday 1 December. It is highly recommended that both days are attended by all, so as to gain a complete and holistic understanding of the basics of BIM. To support the application of skills developed outside of the workshop, participants will receive Autodesk and Navisworks manuals and supplementary texts. Lunch as well as morning and afternoon tea will be provided at no extra cost to the participants.
