What is BIM?
Learn BIM beyond 3D: how it links people, processes, and technology to manage an asset’s lifecycle (design, construction, operations). Covers BIM dimensions (3D–7D), roles, the CDE, and ISO 19650 (EIR, BEP, information states, deliverables). Compares CAD vs. BIM with AEC examples, highlights measurable gains (time, quality, cost) and real limits. Finish with a glossary, criteria to assess “doing BIM,” and a starter implementation roadmap.

From AutoCAD to Revit: Link DWG and Prepare the Base Model
In this lesson you’ll bring a cleaned DWG into Revit the right way: Link (not Import), confirm units, scale, and rotation, and align with Project Base Point/Survey Point. Then set up levels and grids, choose an appropriate template (object styles, lineweights, view templates), and trace core elements (walls/doors/windows) using the DWG as an underlay. We’ll organize views, note common pitfalls (e.g., avoid Explode), and finish with a clean, scalable base model ready for architecture or MEP.

Revit Basics: Interface, Navigation & Project Setup
Get comfortable with Revit’s workspace: Ribbon, Properties, Project Browser, and View Control Bar. Practice navigation (zoom/pan/orbit), selection methods, and snaps. Start a project from a template, set units, create levels and grids, and understand view types (plans, sections, 3D) and view templates. We’ll cover object styles vs. lineweights, basic file management (save, backups), and best practices to keep your model organized from day one.

Core Modeling: Walls, Doors, Windows, Floors & Dimensions
Learn the essential modeling tools to build a small architectural layout. Place walls with correct constraints and location lines, insert doors and windows, and create floors from sketch. Use Modify tools (move, copy, rotate, mirror, array, trim/extend, offset), manage temporary dimensions, and apply constraints (Align/Lock, equality). Finish with basic annotations (dimensions, tags) and a quick sheet to export to PDF—clean, accurate, and ready for the next steps.
