    Description

    This class will cover some practical uses of computational BIM (Building Information Modeling) to improve the quality and efficiency of various tedious tasks in plumbing design. You will learn efficient ways to set up your model and families, streamlining your modeling, coordination, and collaboration tasks. We will also walk through computational BIM workflows combining Dynamo and Microsoft Excel to automate design, sizing, and calculations in sanitary, vent, and storm systems. Finally, we will explore ways to integrate region-specific plumbing code requirements into your workflows.

    Key Learnings

    • Understand how to efficiently set up a Revit model for plumbing design
    • Understand how to set up plumbing families for faster modeling and coordination
    • Learn how to use Dynamo to automate sizing and calculations in storm systems
    • Learn how to use Dynamo and Excel to automate sizing and calculations in sanitary and vent systems
