Coordination and Collaboration for Civil Engineers

Course | Outcomes and capabilities
When architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, and civil engineers all collaborate on a project, they must share information about the design, so that all teams are working with the same assumptions. In this module, you learn better ways to collaborate to be more efficient with BIM.
Outline

When architects, structural engineers, MEP engineers, and civil engineers all collaborate on a project, they must share information about the design, so that all teams are working with the same assumptions. In this module, you learn better ways to collaborate to be more efficient with BIM.

Before you start,

  • Please make sure you have the Revit and Civil 3D software loaded and access to BIM360.
  • If you have technical difficulties, please reach out to product support

Course modules

~15 min.
Share Civil 3D Surfaces with Revit Using BIM 360
Module

Sharing design models between the architect and civil engineer helps reduce rework and improves collaboration. Use BIM 360 to share surface data after setting the geospacial coordinates for the project.

~10 min.
Reduce Rework by Importing the Building from the Architect into Civil 3D
Module

Importing the Revit Building into Civil 3D helps you ensure everything fits together on the site. In this module, you learn how to take advantage of work already done by the architect, saving you time in recreating their work.

~15 min.
Markup a Road Project in BIM 360
Module

Coordinating infrastructure projects in the cloud helps reduce error and rework. In this module, learn how to upload your design into the Document Management module of BIM 360. Then, use markup tools to communicate required design changes.

~10 min.
Gravity Pipe Network Interference Check
Module

After designing your drainage models, it is important to check for clashes between all known utility models.  Catching and addressing clashes at the user level avoids the clashes at higher levels (discipline and company collaboration, for instance) reducing rework and meeting time. In this module, you will identify how to select the networks for interference checking. Next, you will define the criteria in which an interference happens. Lastly, you navigate to each interference.

~25 min.
Migrating Civil 3D Drawings and Data Shortcuts to BIM 360
Module

Migrating Civil 3D files into BIM 360 makes external references and data references available for everyone to use in the cloud. Learn how to upload Civil 3D drawing files and sheet set files for better collaboration across the team.
