CREATING AND MODIFYING STRUCTURES

In this lesson, you will learn how to create a new model and use a PDF reference model as a basis of your modeling. You will learn to create and modify structures, and to copy both individual parts and larger structures. You will also find out where the files related to your model are stored.

In this lesson, you will learn what components are and where you can find different kinds of components. You will learn how to create a connection using a component, and how you can easily copy the connection. You will also learn how to easily select and modify many objects at once.

1.

Introduction

In this lesson, you will first learn about different participants and their roles in a construction project. You will then get to know Tekla BIMsight, the project collaboration tool. You will learn how to create and view projects, and how to add models to a project. You will learn how to check for conflicts between models, and how to review individual conflicts. You will learn how to mark the conflicts, add notes to them and how to share those notes with other participants in a construction project.

2.

Practice

a.

Reference models

Why do you need reference models?

Select all that apply. * So that you can refer to the architect’s design.

So that you can refer to the MEP designer’s design.

So that you can refer to the engineer’s design.

To check for conflicts between models.

To compare changes in drawings.

b.

Working with Teklabimsight

Editing of models is not possible in Tekla BIMsight. Why do you think this is the case?

Select all that apply. * Because Tekla BIMsight is meant for combining, collaboration and conflict checking.

Because all the project parties are responsible for changes in their own model.

Because there are good tools in the market for all design branches, and those are used for editing each of the models that are then combined in Tekla BIMsight.
