Building Information Modeling (Revit) files elliptipar Building Information Modeling (Revit) files The Lighting Quotient is in the process of developing a full library of Revit BIM objects. Files currently available for ellpitipar product are posted below. If you need a file that is not shown, contact us and we will do our best to supply it. Each of our catalog pages will correspond to one Revit Family File (.rfa). We are developing our Revit Files to include all the options for that specific catalog page. SIMPLE files are smaller and contain all the information included in the RENDER files, except photometry. RENDER files are larger because photometry is included. A REFLECTOR TILT parameter is included in all of our Revit Family Files for adjustable luminaires. FIXTURE FINISH and PENDANT/CANTILEVER length parameters may also be changed manually using the steps outlined above. To keep the files sizes reasonable, Revit Family Files represent simplified fixture models that do not include all hardware. Click here for outdoor Style
BIM for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Management Curriculum | BIM Workshop This curriculum is designed to help prepare the next generation of architecture, engineering, and construction management students for professional practice by exploring Building Information Modeling (BIM) sustainable design practices along with integrated project delivery (IPD) concepts. Students and graduates can more fluidly design and communicate, test and plan using BIM models in an IPD framework. The BIM Curriculum contains an Instructor Guide that highlights essential concepts and learning goals and is accompanied by comprehensive teaching tools, a student workbook, instructional videos and datasets. Using Autodesk Revit Software with the BIM Curriculum As you work through the BIM curriculum, we hope you will follow along with exercises and video tutorials to ensure your complete understanding of the concepts presented in the Lessons.

Autodesk University 2012 Class Schedule in a nice Excel spreadsheet With over 800 classes, it's just about impossible to dissect the schedule for the classes you want to take. So, I made a nice schedule that is sorted by day, then by time slot, then by track type. That way, you can quickly pick a time slot and see all of the architecture, design, BIM or other classes you want to take. For an extra bonus, there's are columns showing keywords like Revit, Navisworks, BIM, IPD, etc, so you can filter for what you're looking for. You better hurry as classes are already filling up. Our company has 4 classes and one has already been maxed out, but we're hoping for a larger room for more people. Here's the link for the spreadsheet.

CAD vs BIM - A visual aide Thanks to Rob S for sending this to me today. Study this picture carefully because it is a great reminder of what you can do when you invest in better tools. To everyone who says they can do the same job in CAD design software as someone can do in a BIM design tool, yes, you're absolutely right.
