Learn to author, coordinate, and deliver real BIM and CAD production work — CAD drafting standards, Revit authoring, multi-discipline coordination and clash detection, parametric and generative design, point cloud/reality capture, digital twins, and 5D/4D BIM.
21 modules and 5 complete real-project case studies, with worked calculations, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
CAD vs. BIM, Level of Development (LOD), and model-centric workflows.
Layer naming, line weights, sheet setup, and ANSI/ISO drafting standards.
Blocks, xrefs, sheet sets, plotting, and annotation best practices.
Solid/surface/mesh modeling, parametric vs. direct, coordinate systems.
Families, parametric building elements, views, schedules, worksharing.
Linking discipline models, shared coordinates, spatial coordination zones.
The BEP as a model-authoring contract, LOD requirements, roles.
Hard vs. soft clashes, coordination meetings, clash report documentation.
Visual scripting, adaptive components, and generative design workflows.
Laser scanning, photogrammetry, and scan-to-BIM workflows.
Connecting BIM to live building data for facility management use cases.
openBIM, IFC, COBie, and cross-platform file exchange.
Materials, lighting, camera views, and real-time vs. offline rendering.
5D BIM: mapping model elements to cost line items and accuracy limits.
Linking the model to the schedule for constructability review.
Model health checks, QC checklists, and version/issue tracking.
A systematic methodology for real CAD/BIM production issues.
A full clash-detection and coordination cycle for an office building.
Laser scanning and modeling existing conditions for a renovation.
A phased, occupied construction sequencing simulation.
Standardizing a firm-wide parametric family library.
An FM-oriented BEP and model-to-CMMS handover process.
12 real project templates — a BIM Execution Plan template, model element/LOD matrix, clash detection report, CAD layer standard, sheet index and drawing list, point cloud registration log, family/content naming standard, model quality control checklist, coordination meeting minutes, RFI template, punch list, and an as-built/model turnover checklist. Available for download from Module 20 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: sample Revit family files and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
