3.2 3D and 4D BIM
3.1 Additional Learning Material
Additional Learning Material This section will give you access an additional set of various learning materials so you can further increase your knowledge of BIM Dimensions Particular emphasis is given on how BIM Dimensions can integrate the AEC workflows.
2.6 6D/7D
6D/7D Project Lifecycle Information 6D generally relates to sustainability, usually including energy analysis. The assessment of the energy performance can commence during the design and development of the asset. However during the occupation and use of the asset energy usage can be measured and verified to seek to close the design/performance energy gap. 7D generally […]
2.5 5D
5D BIM utilises the components and data in the model to extract quantities and costs. This can include capital costs (purchasing and installing components), running costs and operational maintenance. The benefits of using the model include the ability to track changes as the model/design is developed, with automatic costing/quantification.
2.4 4D
Within any construction project time management and project delivery are critical factors to a successful outcome. Due to the data within the model it is possible to consider scheduling and programming. The information if correctly entered in the model can aid production of programme information and visualisation. Time related information such as lead time, duration […]
2.3 3D
For most the 3D geometric shape is what BIM is all about! A three dimensional representation of the asset, with graphical and non graphical information. As the project progress in development the amount of information can become more detailed and enriched for the asset management. This can include building elements such as structure, mechanical and […]
2.2 2D
Two-dimensional graphical information, such as plans, sections, elevations and detail, and may be produced by hand or using computer aided design (CAD) software. The drawings are essentially “flat” and do not contain any further data or information.
2.1 Introduction – What are BIM Dimensions?
Mandatory Learning Material This section will give you access to an initial a set of various learning materials, in different formats, so you can learn the essentials about BIM dimensions. Building Information Modelling (BIM) workflow involves the creation a model(s) with both graphical and non-graphical information. This information is shared and stored within a Common […]
1.2 Learning Outcomes/Objectives
Explain Key terms and Definitions within BIM, specifically:
