Civil and Building BIM Coordination for Real

It almost goes without saying that the structural, architectural, and civil engineering disciplines need to coordinate closely. We need to, for example, ensure that the building foundations do not clash with the utilities. Also, it is important that all parties are on the same page in regards to site coordinates to effectively coordinate and build. In this class, we build a basic site in AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software, then we extract the coordinates and use Revit® software to develop our site coordination for multiple buildings using shared coordinates. We use Navisworks® software to detect clashes between the Revit structural foundations and Civil 3D utilities. We produce a clash report before switching back to Revit to resolve. Finally we update the clash report with the resolution. Time permitting, we also discuss principles of using Autodesk® 360 cloud services.
