Course Description
This is a practical computer-based course that uses the computer laboratory. Students will learn the concepts of building information modelling, get training on working in a 3D space with levels, create building components, work with construction documentation and create structural components. The students will construct a building model from a template, work with various project levels, grid-lines, specify the construction of walls, floors, roofs, etc., specify the project’s north and true north, create a ground floor plan, structural columns, floors, walls, doors, windows, other components and furniture. They will also gain experience by creating a typical floor plan with columns, floors, walls, doors, windows, other components and furniture and then copy typical floor plans with vertical circulation, multilevel stairs, railing, shafts, elevators views, elevations, sections, 3D isometric views, 3D interior and exterior perspective views, site plans, building pad, parking spaces and planting components. The students will create A0 or A1 sheets that show different views at desired scales, ceilings, rooms, area, construction documentation (door schedule, room schedule and other schedules), renderings and walkthrough beams, slabs, structural walls and structural schedules.
