DEEPAK MAINI: Welcome to the second objective
00:02
of this course where we are going
00:05
to talk about setting up Revit models for automatic clash
00:08
detection.
00:14
When we say setting up Revit models for automatic clash
00:17
detection, what we mean is basically creating 3D views
00:21
with the elements that need to be included
00:23
in clashes only turned on.
00:25
For example, in case of a mechanical model,
00:28
you might want to turn off the visibility of flexible ducts.
00:32
So the whole idea is those flexible ducts
00:34
will not be included in automated clash detection.
00:38
This is one way of making sure that the onus is
00:40
on the Discipline Leads to make sure
00:43
that they deliver the models with the right information.
00:47
This is also one of the requirements
00:49
if your projects need to be ISO19650 compliant,
00:52
where the publisher's site has a gatekeeper that
00:56
makes sure they tick all the boxes before they share
00:59
or release the models to other disciplines.
01:03
Another example is in case you have a unified services
01:06
model which includes mechanical, electrical, plumbing in one
01:10
single Revit model.
01:12
For those models, you could create
01:13
different views for electrical discipline only,
01:16
or mechanical discipline only, or plumbing discipline only.
01:20
And the whole idea is that each of these views
01:22
will then be used as a separate set for clash detection.
01:28
Once you have created these views,
01:30
you then include them in your Publish settings.
01:34
The important thing to keep in mind
01:35
is, this needs to be done irrespective
01:38
of whether it is a BIM 360 design-enabled project or not.
01:42
Even if you are simply dragging and dropping your Revit files
01:45
into the coordination spaces, this
01:48
needs to be done to make sure that only the views
01:51
that you need for clash detection are
01:53
visible on the Docs site.
01:56
Let's now get into Revit and have a look at this.
01:59
If you remember, I mentioned in the previous objective
02:02
that this is a BIM 360 design-enabled project.
02:06
And that's the project I'm in currently.
02:08
I'm in the MEP team, and I'll open the MEP model.
02:17
Now, in this case, it's a single unified model
02:20
with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services.
02:23
That's the reason I've created a
02:30
In this 3D view, as you can see, I
02:32
have turned off the visibility of flexible ducts.
02:35
But because I also want automated clashes
02:38
with individual disciplines, I've
02:40
also created 3D views for each of these disciplines.
02:43
So I've got a 3D Electrical view.
02:46
Similarly, I've got a 3D Mechanical
02:48
view and a 3D Plumbing view.
02:53
And again, the idea is that I'll be
02:54
able to review automated clashes of, for example,
02:58
structure discipline with each of these individual service
03:01
discipline views as well.
03:04
Now, once you have created these 3D views,
03:06
you need to go to the Collaborate tab.
03:09
And under the Publish Settings, you
03:12
need to make sure that you create a new Publish
03:15
set in which you include these 3D views.
03:21
Once you have created Publish Set with those 3D
03:24
views included, you can now either share this package
03:28
or you can upload this model onto Docs
03:30
depending on whether it is a BIM 360
03:32
design-enabled project or not.
03:35
If I now switch over to the Docs interface,
03:38
I can see this MEP model here.
03:41
And when I click on this MEP model
03:43
in BIM 360 Document Management interface,
03:50
I can see the same five 3D views.
03:56
The clash detection view that you
03:58
see here is to review automated clashes with a unified model.
04:02
And you also see the 3D views to review automated clashes
04:05
with individual disciplines.
04:08
Again, just to repeat, each Revit model
04:12
needs to have a 3D view created and included
04:15
in the Publish set.
04:16
That 3D view needs to have the elements that
04:19
need to be included in the automated clashes.
04:22
This needs to be done irrespective
04:25
of whether it is a BIM 360 design-enabled project or not.
04:29
That's all we have in this objective.
04:32
I'll see you in the third objective of this course.
04:34
Cheers.
