Course Description

This course introduces Building Information Modeling (BIM) as used to produce a 3-dimensional architectural design model with an emphasis on the development of the interior. PCs with Autodesk Revit or other Industry-standard software will be used and instruction will focus on the interior development of a two-story commercial space with an emphasis on creating walls, doors, windows, materials, ceilings, casework, custom furniture, and rendering. Students should have basic knowledge of computer operation and file management. ADVISORY: ID A130. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Students will be able to demonstrate a well-rounded knowledge of BIM tools and techniques and have the ability to create a complete BIM interiors model integrated with existing architecture for construction and design purposes at a professional level.

Course Objectives

• 1. Develop a well-rounded knowledge of BIM tools and techniques.
• 2. Demonstrate skills that can be applied to enhance professional develop in both academia and industry.
• 3. Create design drawings with an emphasis on the interior elements working with a provided architectural model.
• 4. Illustrate 3D renderings and views using BIM software for an interior design project.
• 5. Understand the basics of operating BIM software and creating and saving new projects.
• 6. Recognize the basic elements in BIM modeling and how to use them and also create custom elements.
