Course Content

•  
• This is the fundamental course of BIM. It aims at the overall introduction of BIM – its nature, core concept, process and implications to the industry. Contents includes the various system settings with ArchiCAD environment; the parametric nature of the virtual building elements and compilation to overall building form; definition and editing of BIM properties, creation of drawings sheets and bill of materials and the overall management of BIM model files. Students will learn through hands-on exercises.
