Course Description

This tutorial will teach you how to use AutoCAD to create BIM models. We will take a deeper look at dynamic blocks and learn how to create them, what actions and parameters we can apply, and how to add them to our projects. Next, we will look at text attributes and how they can be used. Later we will use both dynamic blocks and attribute concepts to enter data into our project. We'll also learn how to export this information into an Excel data table. This AutoCAD training will help you understand how all of these options can be combined to allow us to increase the information that our project holds, which is the main principle behind BIM methodology. Software needed: AutoCAD 2013, Excel 2010.

What You Will Learn

Learn an approach to BIM methodology

We'll take a deep look into dynamic blocks, how to create our own dynamic blocks, the different parameters and actions we can apply to them and how to add them into our project

Next we'll check out text attributes and learn how we can work with them

Later, we'll apply both concepts, dynamic blocks and attributes to input data into our project

Finally, we'll see how to extract this information into a data table in Excel

By the end of this AutoCAD training, you'll understand that all these options combined give us the possibility to increase the amount of information held by our project, which is the main principle of BIM methodology

Software required AutoCAD 2013, Excel 2010
