Topics include: Overview of BIM, the user interface, basic families, navigation, views, project settings, and workflow with other professionals. Documentation features including annotation, schedules, sections, callouts, detailing, and sheets. Depending on the student population of the course, the class may focus on one or more of the following:

Mechanical Systems: zone creation, color schemes, energy analysis, terminals, ducting, primary and secondary supply systems, route conflicts, automated sizing, system color scheming, system inspections mechanical units, piping systems.

Electrical Systems: Placing electrical components, creating and modifying power circuits, wiring, panel schedules, and balancing panels.

Plumbing Systems: Piping, mechanical equipment, and system routing.

Fire Protection Systems: placing sprinklers and system layout.

Prerequisites: It is recommended that the students have some general design and computer experience. Previous experience in Revit or other Autodesk products may be useful, but is not required.
