Course Overview:

This course introduces users to importing, mapping, and visualising surveyed utility data. It covers using attributes for data modelling and manipulation before exporting the data with attributes to IFC. The course then progresses to designing new utilities, showcasing various methods to help users understand the available options and their respective pros and cons.

12d Model 15 Fundamentals

In this course we:

• Teach you to navigate 12d Model 15, some of the key terminology, and how to view and create models and TINs.

12d Model 15 Getting Started for Utility Modelling

This course continues on from the Fundamentals course. In this course we:

• Cover the basics of using a ‘super string’ to model utility data, by adding a diameter and justification to individual strings, to multiple strings, and with the use of map files.
• Import utility data and discuss the use of attributes to store information on the data, then use those attributes to create Trimesh service chambers.
• Use MetaConnex and the Attribute Manipulator to structure attributes on data so that when the utilities are exported to IFC, they are in a suitable format.
• Create a Chain to automate the workflow of import, processing and exporting utility data to IFC, so that future data can be processed rapidly.
• Showcase some more advanced attribute tools; those being translating using attribute values, replacing attribute values, de-concatenating attributes, and BIM object creation.

12d Model 15 Utility Design

In this course we:

• Use Custom Attribute tools to create project attributes, then MetaConnex to apply those attributes to data.
• Discuss attribution of the Water string for export to IFC and to other spatial software.
• Design utilities with Super Alignments using both the IP and Element methods to define horizontal and vertical geometry.
• Use BIM Objects and BIM Objects map files to create super strings and trimeshes for utility conduits and trenches.
• Design utilities within the MTF and explore relevant MTF modifiers for utility creation.
• Use the ‘Conduit bank from attributes’ to easily create customisable banks of conduits.
• Create a utility conduit by applying precise horizontal and vertical bends, fitting joint deflections and pipe joint deflections.
• Create clash rules and run clash detection considering super strings, water strings, trimeshes and TIN
• Plot a utility long section alongside a plan plot, considering the location and labelling of crossing utilities

Requirements:

• Dual monitors are recommended (to follow the videos on one monitor and complete the tasks on the other)
• Three-button mouse
• Internet Connection
• Administrator access to install 12d Model 15 (links provided within course) if not already installed

Prerequisites:

It is recommended that the Civil Design Basics course is completed before registering for this course.

Assessment:

• Knowledge check quizzes after each lesson to reinforce understanding.
• Certificate of Completion upon finishing the course and quizzes successfully.
