Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Problem-based learning: the course is centred around a project, where a given architectural model is used. During the course, the student carries out simplified projecting of installations and coordination of these activities.

During the course, the following parts will be treated:

  • The definition BIM in general
  • Introduction to; Revit, MagiCAD and Navisworks
  • Introduction to coordintaion between projectors in the chosen programs

Intended learning outcomes

The course aims to give a general orientation in correct working methodology in working with BIM and a practical introduction to 3D projection/planning, installation and coordination.

After the course, the student should:

  • Be familiar with the theory behind BIM
  • Be able to handle model information and use databases associated with BIM
  • Be able to handle installation coordination with MagiCad
  • Be familiar with the possibilities of collision/interference control using Navisworks
  • Be able to apply acquired knowledge in a project
