ARC 226 Architectural BIM II

Lecture: 1 Lab: 3 Clinic: 0 Credits: 2

This course covers advanced concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM) including complex drawing generation and inter-disciplinary collaboration. Topics include advanced parametric modeling and model analysis, inter-disciplinary coordination, design web format models, material take-off, schedules, and rendering. Upon completion, students should be able to apply BIM software to create full 3D project models and convert them to scaled working or presentation drawings.

Pre-requisite(s): Grade of C or better in ARC 225 .
Course is typically offered in Fall and Summer (when offered).
Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At the completion of the course, the students should be able to do the following:

Create a complete set of scaled working or presentation drawings with interior and exterior elevations.
Develop new construction families/details of building materials.
Create Longitudinal Sections, Cross Section views, and typical wall sections.
Create drawing designs between different disciplines, (i.e., Architectural, MEP and Structural).
Create parametric modeling and model analysis of completed project.
Apply Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to create simple architectural structures.
Manage created 3D (3-Dimensional) objects and drawings.
