Building a BIM Exemplar from Scratch: Project 2 Expansion

Taking the Skills Learned in Habitat House to Build a BIM Exemplar from Scratch

Explore the process of creating a Building Information Modelling (BIM) from scratch as we delve into Project 2, building upon the skills learned from the Habitat House project. This project will allow us to examine different applications of these skills, expanding upon what we already know and practice.

Key Insights

  • Project 2 provides an opportunity to construct an example BIM from the ground up, reinforcing and expanding upon the lessons learned from the Habitat House project.
  • The entire process of this project will involve building every aspect from scratch, thus providing a comprehensive understanding of BIM creation.
  • This project also aims to explore different ways to apply pre-existing skills, thus enhancing versatility in skill application.

Now that we've finished up all the work that we have for the Habitat House, we're going to move on to Project 2. Project 2 is going to be the example BIM that we were looking at in the beginning of the class, and we're actually going to build this from the ground up. So everything you see here we'll be going through and building from scratch, so it'll be a lot of the same lessons that we learned in the Habitat House just expanded upon, and we're going to look at different ways to apply the skills that we already know.
