Weekly Reflection:
This week I began to work on the Elementary School Project. This is a school plan that is altered for many school across the country. The firm has the school modeled in AutoCAD; however, with the changing times they wish to render aspects of the building for the school. Therefore, the project must be converted to Revit. I was tasked with beginning the conversion to Revit to ensure I learned how the firm goes about creating their documents with their templates. This week I completed modeling all of the walls, roofs, doors, and windows. During the days in the office I was numerous tips and tricks within Revit to improve my workflow and to prepare myself for the Autodesk Professional Certification I hope to achieve in the coming months. While I learned a lot of new tricks within Revit, it would be too much to record them all within this reflection. However, the one that stands out the most this week was learning how you can use the built in Revit visibility and graphics settings to create your presentation without the need for other software like Adobe Illustrator. This week I learned from Greg about the roles of a BIM Manager in a firm settings.
