INFO - BIM, CAD and Information Technology 3

Module Title:BIM, CAD and Information Technology 3
Language of Instruction:English
Credits: 5
NFQ Level:6
Module Delivered In 2 programme(s)
Teaching & Learning Strategies: Studio-based projects & problem-based learning to develop the learners’ problem- solving methodology to an advanced level, in an architectural technology context, with one-to-one reviews/tutorials and group/class ‘crits’ to provide student feedback • Lecture format utilised to provide theoretical instruction in Revit/Cad/BIM/software tools
Module Aim: The aims of this module are : • To introduce Building Information Modelling (BIM) into studio projects. • To give students the computer skills required to communicate effectively in a modern technical environment. • To develop a basic knowledge of buildings and sustainable site development. • To create a wide range of working drawings and to use detail components in live callout detail views. • To dress up basic elevations and plans using Revit and photoshop and extract entourage objects from photographs. • To familiarize students with all aspects of information technology relating to architectural technology and the architectural practice.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1 Use modelling techniques and sustainable site development strategies to construct domestic buildings and small scale commercial buildings, using the latest BIM software, Revit Architecture. Learn the process of preparing good quality working drawings of domestic buildings in Revit. • Create and modify walls,,roofs,,floors foundations, dimensions, text, draw accurately, layouts, print, and share drawings with others.
LO2 Use Revit Architecture tools to import and export a wide range of information with other applications and create basic Revit families.
LO3 Create annotation, tags dimension, text and keynotes in BIM and create automated schedules and legends of building components.
LO4 (a) Create sheets: plans, elevations, sections, 3D sections, 2d details, 3D details, 3D views and live callout detail views from BIM models. (b) Produce fully detailed working Architectural drawings.
LO5 Render real-world surface with architectural materials and extract entourage and enhance elevations and plans using Photoshop and Enscape3d or Vray.,3d render packages are subject to change depending on availability in the market
