DEEPAK MAINI: Welcome to the first objective of this course.
00:04
In this objective, we are going to manage clashes and create
00:07
issues.
00:10
One of the most important rule of thumb in managing clashes
00:13
is that not every clash that we see is a problem.
00:17
So for example, in our case, we have not
00:19
modeled the penetrations yet, but we
00:22
can see those penetrations as clashes in the model.
00:25
In this case, we can select these clashes
00:27
that are valid penetrations and we can mark them as non-issues.
00:32
However, the clashes that are problematic we
00:36
need to address them.
00:38
And the way we address them using the Model Coordination
00:41
module is by creating issues on those clashes
00:44
and then assigning those issues to the individuals who
00:48
could then go into the authoring tool like Revit
00:51
and fix those clashes.
00:53
So let's jump straight into the Model Coordination module
00:56
and look at this workflow.
00:59
As you can see, I'm in the Model Coordination module
01:02
and currently I'm on the Views tab.
01:05
In the last course, we created these two views.
01:09
These two views were created using
01:11
the models that are available in the shared file coordination
01:14
space.
01:15
In this case, I'm going to click on Plumbing vs Structure view.
01:21
It now opens the view with these two models federated.
01:24
I'm going to click on the Clashes panel,
01:29
and now I can see where there's clashes.
01:31
But at this stage, these clashes are grouped by the structure
01:33
elements, so I'm going to click on the model dropdown list
01:37
and pick the plumbing view from here.
01:41
Now these clashes are grouped by the plumbing elements,
01:44
because these are the elements that we have to modify.
01:47
Now this is where we can start interrogating these clashes.
01:50
So we can start looking at all these different clashes
01:53
one by one.
01:54
We can also click on these clashes in the Clashes panel
01:57
on the left.
01:58
So for example, if I click on this particular clash here,
02:03
we can now see that that's the problem right there.
02:06
Similarly, if I go to another clash,
02:12
we can see that that's the problem right there.
02:15
Now as I mentioned earlier, some of these clashes
02:17
could be non-issues.
02:19
In my case, I know that I have not modelled penetrations
02:23
on the slab.
02:24
So I can click on this slab here.
02:26
As soon as I do that, it now selects 17 clashes.
02:30
These 17 clashes are with this particular slab.
02:33
If I want, I can review these clashes one by one
02:36
to make sure that I've picked all the right clashes, which
02:40
in this case, I know I have.
02:43
So I can now change all these clashes into non-issues.
02:47
So let's click on this Not an Issue button.
02:52
Now it's asking me for a title, slab penetration.
02:56
Now the reason, we'll go and say this is a valid penetration.
03:01
And in the comments I'm going to say,
03:02
we haven't modeled the penetrations yet.
03:07
Now with this, I'm going to click OK,
03:09
and we can straight away see the total number of clashes
03:12
are reduced from 53 to 36.
03:16
This is where we can go to other clashes as well
03:18
and we can review them to decide whether they are real clashes
03:21
or we can convert them into non-issues.
03:24
Now to create issues, I'm actually
03:26
going to go into the other view.
03:28
Let me close out of this view.
03:31
I'm going to create a brand new view, and for that I'm
03:34
going to pick the 3D Electrical view coming from the Revit MEP
03:38
model and the Class Extension view from the Structure model.
03:45
I'll click on the clashes group by the electrical elements,
03:49
and now we've got this problem here to resolve.
03:53
So obviously we need to move these Troffer Corner
03:56
inserts down, but we don't know how much
03:59
we need to move them down.
04:02
And this is where we can use the measurement
04:04
tool available inside this interface.
04:09
Now before I start measuring the elements,
04:12
I'm going to modify my measurement settings,
04:14
make sure that Unit Type is set to the right units.
04:17
In this case, I want them to be in feet and decimal inches.
04:21
And now I want to find out what's
04:23
the distance between the bottom of this beam
04:26
and the top corner of this Troffer Corner insert.
04:31
So it's telling me that the z-value is 1 feet, 5.1 inches.
04:36
Similarly, if I go and check this one here, it's 9.1 inches.
04:42
So what we are going to do is create
04:44
issues to let people know how much these need to move down.
04:49
Now I've got two options.
04:51
One option is where I can create a single issue
04:55
to move all these elements down, or I
04:57
can create three separate issues,
05:00
one for each of these groups.
05:03
So I'm going to pick one, two, three, four elements,
05:08
and I'm going to go and click on Issue.
05:13
Now in this issues area here, I'm
05:15
getting asked to place a pin, so I'm
05:18
going to spin the model around and I'm
05:19
going to place the pin somewhere here.
05:23
The title for this issue is going to be Electrical
05:26
because that's the discipline, so I'm going to say E-L-E-C,
05:30
move the elements.
05:34
I'm going to assign it to this user here.
05:37
I want this user to fix it by Sunday because they've
05:40
got nothing else to do.
05:42
So I'm going to go into this date here,
05:45
and that's when they need to fix it by.
05:47
If I've got some location information,
05:49
I can enter this here in location
05:51
and also in location details area.
05:54
Root Cause is really important.
05:56
I'm a big fan of Root Cause, so I'm
05:58
going to call this as a design coordination issue.
06:01
And in the description area here, we
06:03
can add a description about how much
06:04
do we need to move these down.
06:06
So in this case, I'm going to go and say move this down by 156.
06:14
Now I'm going to go down and click the Create button.
06:19
It now goes and creates the issue,
06:21
and that particular issue is available on the Issues
06:24
panel on the left that we'll have a look at now.
06:27
As you could see, this is the issue that we have created.
06:29
If I click on this particular issue here,
06:31
it will take us to that issue.
06:33
One thing that I want to quickly show you
06:35
here is if I go to the Attachment tab here,
06:39
it would show me an image that it has automatically created
06:43
of this particular issue.
06:45
This image is really handy for the users
06:48
who are accessing the issue from the document management module.
06:52
I'll talk about this in detail in the next objective.
06:55
Let's now go back to our plushest panel.
07:00
So as you can see, those elements
07:02
are now removed from the clashes.
07:08
Similarly, I'm also going to create issues
07:10
for these group of Troffer Corners.
07:13
One of the questions that I get asked on a regular basis
07:15
is, you are creating these issues
07:18
and you're asking to move these elements down,
07:21
but what if there are ceilings here?
07:23
What are you going to do about them?
07:25
And this is where, again, the Model Coordination module
07:27
is absolutely fantastic.
07:30
What you could also do is, before you create your issues
07:33
you can add an additional module or a 3D view to make sure
07:37
that what you are advising is OK and the elements will not
07:41
clash with the other elements.
07:43
To do that, I'm going to go to the Models panel
07:47
and I'm going to click on this add/remove models button.
07:51
And in this case, I'm going to also add the architecture clash
07:55
detection view.
07:58
So what it's now doing is it's federating the architecture
08:01
clash detection view with our current view.
08:04
In this case, we can see that that would not
08:06
cause any of the clashes, again a really smart way of using
08:10
this technology to make sure that your advice is not going
08:13
to cause any other clashes.
08:16
I'm going to remove this architecture model
08:18
and now I can go and create issues with these items.
08:26
I'll assign it to the same user and make sure
08:29
that they work on the Sundays as well and fix this problem.
08:34
We'll make sure that we specify how much we
08:36
need to move these down.
08:39
And pretty much the same thing we can do for these elements
08:42
as well.
08:45
Just a reminder, I would strongly
08:47
recommend adding Root Causes as well,
08:50
because that way you can either filter the issues based on root
08:52
causes, or on the BIM 360 home page,
08:56
you can display dashboards with issues about root causes.
09:01
So that's how we manage the clashes
09:03
and we create issues using those clashes.
09:06
In the next objective, we are going
09:08
to look at how we can resolve these clashes by taking
09:11
this information into Revit and fixing these models there.
09:15
See you in that objective.
09:16
Cheers.
