SummarySummary

The Advanced BIM webinars (series of three) include 1) Setting up Navisworks Files & Working with Clash Reports; 2) Communication & Meetings; and 3) Documentation and “Taking the Model to the Field”.

Advanced Navisworks is designed specifically for SMACNA members eager to learn the essential concepts of 3D Clash Detection and MEP Coordination. Advanced Navisworks is specifically designed for sheet metal contractors wanting to increase their knowledge and proficiency in Navisworks. This series of webinars will increase your knowledge of the software while providing information on how to leverage Navisworks for 3D Coordination and Collaboration.

Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives

Part III – Documentation and “Taking the Model to the Field” covers:

• Meeting Minutes

• Signed Off Drawings & Models

• Navisworks Freedom Viewer

• Tekla BIMsight

• Sequencing of Trades

• Onsite Implementation

Meeting MinutesMeeting Minutes

• The most important meeting is the BIM Kickoff Meeting

• Communicate & Demonstrate Meeting Agenda

• Commit to meeting format & don’t deviate

• Standardize format and be consistent as a company

• Be willing to adjust, not all projects are the same

Meeting MinutesMeeting Minutes

Signed Off Drawings & ModelsSigned Off Drawings & Models

• File Naming, File naming, File naming

• Use Standards – Owner driven if applicable

– No Owner Standards – Use Industry Standards

• Federated Model names and individual file names should be consistent

• Clearly communicate file format expectations – Clash Detection - .dwg

– Submittal for A/E Review - .pdf or .dwf

– Construction Documents - .pdf or .dwf

– Electronic Sign Off - .dwf

• Need to think of the end to get the beginning right – Build file format and structure the way you intend to hand off to owner

– Might require meetings with facilities staff to setup properly

Freedom Viewer & Freedom Viewer & BIMSightBIMSight

• Navisworks Freedom Viewer – **Free** viewer for easy opening of .NWD and 3D DWF files

– Enables viewing of model hierarchy, object properties and embedded review data, including viewpoints, animations, redlines, and comments

– Includes full set of navigation tools: Walk; Look Around; Zoom; Zoom Box; Pan; Orbit; Examine; Fly; Turntable

– Supports real-time display of materials and lighting

• Tekla BIMSight – Combine Multiple Models and file formats from a variety of BIM Software

– Check clashes, manage clashes, approve comments & assign responsibility

– Measure distance in the model

– Control visualization and transparency of different components of a model

– Query properties of model components

Sequencing of TradesSequencing of Trades

• Easy tool to learn and the price is right - $free – Very minimal training required

• Bring Free Viewer of coordinated space into progress meetings – Can be Field Foreman, or CAD Department until Field staff has training

• Site Superintendents and MEP Foreman will use the model

• Picture is worth a thousand words

• One week and two week look ahead planning

• Less congestion and potentially less manpower

• It is clear who needs to be where first, second, third etc.

• Promotes Collaboration amongst field staff – Consider “BIM Box” (Digital Gangbox)

• With more collaboration, you get quicker acceptance

Onsite ImplementationOnsite Implementation

• Pick a “pilot” project

• Identify a “pilot” Foreman

• Start with the Blocking & Tackling – Do not need to leverage all the possibilities on the maiden voyage

• Provide the Foundation

• Users will develop the rest

• Setup a platform for support and feedback – Use a tool Field Foreman is already comfortable with

• daily log

• look ahead forms

• Keep a software specialist engaged with Field staff – Usually CAD Supervisor or Senior Detailer

• There is up front expense

• ROI is rapid with successful implementation
