Modeling for BIM

Module overview

In this section, you’ll explore the key differences between 2D drafting and 3D modeling and understand how BIM workflows provide significant advantages in architectural design. Starting with a simple room layout, you’ll transition from 2D lines in AutoCAD to intelligent 3D objects in Revit, demonstrating the benefits of parametric modeling and improved design communication.
