Problem

Our team was tasked with designing and modeling a G-10 story modern hotel using the BIM process. The goal of this project was to create an architectural model of the hotel with specifications of LOD 300. We faced several challenges during the project, including:

The need to display different elements in various views to show required information and set views for construction documents.
The requirement to duplicate views so that we could modify the display as we created the model and for construction documents.
The need to create callout views of parts of plans, sections, or elevations for detailing.
The requirement to add building and interior elevations that could be used to demonstrate how a building would be built.
The need to create building and wall sections to help us create the model and include it in construction documents.

To overcome these challenges, we had to come up with a solution that would allow us to design and model the hotel efficiently while meeting all requirements.

Solution

We decided on using Autodesk Revit software for this project. This software allowed us to design and model the hotel efficiently while meeting all requirements. We were able to:

Easily change how elements displayed in different views so that we could show required information and set views for construction documents.
Duplicate views easily so that we could modify the display as we created the model and for construction documents.
Create callout views of parts of plans, sections, or elevations easily for detailing purposes.
Add building and interior elevations that could be used to demonstrate how a building would be built.
Create building and wall sections to help us create the model and include it in construction documents.

Using Autodesk Revit software allowed us to complete the project efficiently while meeting all requirements. The software was easy to use, which made the design process much smoother.

Impact

Reduced design time by X%.
Improved accuracy of construction documents by X%.
