Review BIM data

00:00

DEEPAK MAINI: Hey, guys.

00:01

Welcome to the second objective of this course.

00:04

In this objective, we are going to review the BIM data

00:07

using the 360 mobile app that we downloaded

00:10

in the previous objective.

00:12

We are going to start with learning how we can navigate

00:15

around the 2D documents and 3D models

00:17

using the 360 mobile app.

00:20

We are then going to learn how we can review properties

00:23

of the elements.

00:25

Next, we look at the model browser

00:26

to review the element categories that

00:29

are available in the model.

00:31

We'll then control the visibility of the elements

00:33

by tapping on them.

00:35

And lastly, we are going to learn how we can activate

00:37

different levels in the models.

00:40

With this, let's go straight to our BIM 360 mobile app.

00:45

All right.

00:45

So as you can see, we are in the plans area

00:48

of the medical laboratory project.

00:50

I'm going to start with navigating around the PDF

00:53

files.

00:53

So I'll tap on the PDF file folder.

00:57

I can now see all the PDF sheets here

00:59

if I tap on any of these sheets to open it.

01:03

Now the PDF sheets behave very similar to rivet sheets,

01:06

where we can zoom in by spreading two fingers apart.

01:11

So that's zooming in.

01:13

To zoom out, we can simply pinch.

01:18

Similarly, if I tap down two fingers, we can pan.

01:23

Now on 2D sheets, you can also tap down a single finger

01:26

to pan.

01:27

But I would recommend not to do that because if you're

01:30

working with 3D models, tapping down a single finger

01:33

and dragging is orbiting the model.

01:36

So tapping down two fingers, you can pan and zoom

01:39

at the same time.

01:45

Let me close out of this PDF file.

01:49

If I now go into rivet uploads folder,

01:52

I'll tap on the ground floor electrical plan 2D sheet.

01:59

As I mentioned earlier, it behaves very similar to a PDF

02:01

file, where we can spread two fingers

02:04

to zoom in, pinch them to zoom out,

02:08

hold them down and drag to pan.

02:13

Now if I go and open a 3D view.

02:15

So I'm going to open the clash direction 3D view.

02:20

If I now tap down a single finger and drag that's

02:24

orbiting the model.

02:26

Zooming works very similar to 2D sheet, where

02:29

you spread two fingers and that's zoom in, you pinch,

02:32

that's a zoom out.

02:38

Now if I tap on any of the elements,

02:41

I can see a menu here.

02:43

Using this menu, I can hide this element,

02:46

I can isolate it, and so on.

02:48

Let's click on the hide option first.

02:51

As you can see that element is hidden.

02:53

However, it is still displayed ghosted.

02:57

If I tap anywhere in the blank area,

02:59

I can now tap on show all to display that element.

03:02

Similarly, if I tap on it again, I can show isolate,

03:06

and it isolates that element.

03:07

All the other elements as you can see are displayed ghosted.

03:12

I'll tap on it again, and say show all.

03:16

And similarly, if I tap on this one more time,

03:19

I'll tap on properties.

03:21

And I can see the properties of this selected element.

03:30

Now if I tap on the menu button on the top right,

03:33

I can now tap on model browser.

03:35

And it now shows me the model browser

03:37

using which I can highlight any of these selected element

03:40

categories.

03:42

So for example, if I said like the ducts category,

03:45

it highlights all these ducts in the model.

03:47

If I tap on the arrow on the right of the ducts category,

03:51

I can see various types of ducts.

03:56

Similarly, if I tap on the menu button one more time,

03:59

I can click on levels, and it tells me

04:02

that this model has got these five levels.

04:04

If I tap on lower level, it not only

04:08

shows with the elements that are on the lower level.

04:12

Similarly, if I tap on ground level,

04:15

it only shows me the elements that are on the ground level.

04:20

Tapping on the same level again displays the entire model.

04:26

At any point of time, you can also

04:27

tap on the home icon on the top right

04:30

to go back to the home view.

04:32

Now this process works exactly the same in the project files

04:36

area as well.

04:37

So if I tap on project files, I'm

04:40

going to go into the Navisworks folder,

04:42

and then tap on this Navisworks and nwd file.

04:47

So this is the Navisworks nwd file as you could see.

04:50

Tapping on the menu button on the top right,

04:53

I can look at the modern browser.

04:56

And I can see the three nwc files

04:58

that were used to create this federated model.

05:05

Now to walk around this model as first person,

05:08

I can tap on the walk button.

05:13

And now, I displayed two views.

05:15

In the left view, I can define the location

05:18

where I'm in by dragging this element.

05:24

I can use this con to control where

05:27

am I looking at on the model.

05:30

And the right view, I can tap my thumb down

05:34

on this wheel to walk.

05:43

So as you can see, using this method,

05:45

I can walk around the building as first person.

05:55

I can tap on the walk button again

05:57

to restore the normal navigation tools.

06:04

Now that you are familiar with navigating around the elements,

06:07

and also controlling the visibility,

06:09

and looking at the properties, in the next objective,

06:12

we are going to add some mark ups.

06:13

And we are going to section the model.

06:15

See you there.
