Updating Title Sheet and Revisions for BIM 303 Midterm Submission

Managing Revisions and Sheet Updates for BIM 303 Midterm Submission.

Explore the process of revising and preparing sheets for a project submission, including annotating, detailing, setting up views, and adjusting the title sheet. Learn how to modify revision codes, add class due dates, and handle sheet revisions for midterms and finals.

Key Insights

  • The article provides a comprehensive guide on how to revise and prepare a project submission, beginning from annotation and detailing to setting up views and modifying the title sheet.
  • It explains the procedure of adding a new revision onto the title sheet, inserting class due dates, and adjusting the revision codes to suit the project's progress from the midterm to the final stage.
  • The write-up also discusses techniques for managing the sheet list, emphasizing the importance of excluding non-submitted sheets and ensuring that all selected sheets have been thoroughly reviewed before printing.

Note: These materials offer prospective students a preview of how our classes are structured. Students enrolled in this course will receive access to the full set of materials, including video lectures, project-based assignments, and instructor feedback.

Now that we've finished all of our annotating and detailing and getting all our views set up for our next submission, we are going to go ahead and take a look at our title sheet, which for this project is going to be the,000 sheet. And you can see we've got a couple of cool 3D views on here, a symbols legend, and then we've got some revisions set up.

And we're going to go ahead and start modifying this a little bit because those A's that we had before were actually from BIM 302. And so I want to add another revision onto here. And that's going to be our BIM 303 midterm.

We're going to go ahead and do that. So let's pop over to the View tab and go to Revisions. And we're going to add another one.

So add one in here. And we'll go ahead and change that to BIM 303. And go ahead and put your class's due date in right here.

And we're going to change—actually, these all look pretty good. We're going to leave everything the way that we're seeing here.

And we're going to hit OK. And now what we need to do is take the sheets that we are submitting for our midterm and go ahead and add them into our revision. When we add revisions to sheets, what we do is go to Revisions on Sheets here.

And we'll have to do this for each one of them. And we want to go ahead and add our Show Revision on Schedule for the BIM 303 midterm. And we actually want to make that say BIM 303 Midterm here because we're going to have a BIM 303 Final at the end of the class.

We'll do BIM 303 Midterm. We can see that we've got what we did previously in BIM 101. And then we can see which ones have been revised.

So the Campus Plan and the Site Plan—we didn't really touch those sheets, but we can take a look at them because, as you know from previous courses, it's always important to pop back in to make sure nothing got changed too much. So the Campus Plan and the Site Plan look good. No major modifications to those sheets.

They will be submitted for midterm, but because we didn't make any revisions to them, we're going to leave them as is. And then A201 was our Floor Plan sheet. We did a lot of things to that, right? We added the Partition Schedule, we added a ton of dimensions, many different tags, cleaned up some of the wall types and those kinds of things.

And then we went through and created the Enlarged Plans. And you can see there's some things that we have to clean up here because we don't necessarily want those views showing up on the eighth-inch plans. And then we can go ahead and add that revision on sheet for A201.

And then same thing with A202—a lot of the same types of changes and things that we'll have to clean up there. The Roof Plan—this one just got many dimensions and tags. We can go ahead and add the revision for that one.

The Building Elevations—not a lot of work occurred here, but we did add keynotes and added the Enlarged Plans and the Material Legend. So definitely changes to that one. We'll go ahead and add that for 401 and 402.

I'm going to close hidden windows because we're just getting a lot of windows open here. And what you'll notice is, you know, we're doing these one by one, and it may seem tedious, but this is also one of the methods we can use to kind of QC our sheets as we go through before we print. So I can add that revision as I go through.

It's kind of my way of saying I've looked at it and I'm ready to go ahead and print it. So I'm going to add the revision to 502, to 601—which we've just spent a lot of time working on here—and 602. And then we've got our Wall Section sheets.

And these are all new sheets that we've been working on because you can see they don't have the original revision on there. Okay. And then our 3D View sheets are something that'll come in later on in the second half of the class.

So those are sheets we actually don't want to have appear in the sheet list. And there are a couple of ways that we can go about getting those to not show up. If I go back to my,000 sheet, which is my title sheet here, you can see it's going to show these sheets.

And what I could do is go into editing my schedule here. And if we were to do Sorting and Grouping or Filtering here, I could have it filter by Current Revision. And I could have it say something to include these items here.

And so if it has no value, right, we can filter out—it'll filter out everything essentially. If I said "has no value, " right, then it'll just wipe everything out. But if I were to say Current Revision is greater than or equal to, let's say, A, then it'll be the A revisions plus the B's that come in.

And so it'll filter out those sheets that are not in there. That's one way to do that, to get the sheets to show. I think that one's getting a little crafty.

And I think I've talked about this in previous courses before, and I've definitely mentioned it to people I work with. When you do filtering like this, you're essentially guaranteeing you're the one that's going to manage this forever. So I don't like to use stuff like that.

While it is creative and it does get the job done, the easiest way to do it, in my opinion, is just to have it not appear in the sheet list. And then when it becomes part of the sheet list, we can go back in and check that because that's a very easy and obvious thing for us to see. So those sheets aren't going to be included in this submission.

We don't want them in the sheet list, so we can go ahead and uncheck them. And, you know, I have another way that you can creatively use those filters if you wanted to. So these are the options that we're going to stick with for our midterm.

And having those revisions set, having everything set up correctly on the sheet, are the things that we're looking for. If you recall, when we popped back in, we noticed a few things that need to get updated. And so we're going to take a look at the things that need to get updated and print this thing for our midterm in the next video.
