    Post FM Class handouts from AU and RTC

    Members of AUGI, you'll notice that the AU class handouts are being added to the forums (must be logged in to download the files). I'm going to link to the classes, just to have a pointer directly to them.

    Even if there isn't an FM track for a year of AU handouts, I'd still recommend that you check out the CAD Management and Programming coursework. Obviously, when you work on a huge scale like in CAFM, you can benefit from automation and standardization tips and tricks and code snippets.

    Autodesk University 2002 - Facilities Management Track:

    FM23-1: Developing a FM Automation Program for AutoCAD - A Real World Example!

    Class Description: Using FM Desktop™ and Autodesk® technologies to return sanity to the chaos that is facility management.

    FM34-1: Facility Management Made Easy with faciliCAD
    Instructor: Bill Kilp


    Class Description: Needs Analysis, Existing Data Review, Software Selection, Data Input, Data Extraction, Data Management and Software Maintenance are all phases of implementing a facility management system. Each of these topics could be a class in itself. The intent of this course is to give the student a bird’s eye view of the process from the early stages of conceptual meetings, to implementation and use of the system. The main focus will be on data entry. We will discuss the minimum requirements for creating space chargeback reports to entering additional data such as employees and assets. We will cover the basic steps necessary to attach and link CAD floor plans to an external database using faciliCAD. The combination of faciliCAD and AutoDesk’s AutoCAD, Architectural Desktop or AutoCAD Map, gives the user all the tools needed to create graphic and non-graphic Space, Employee and Assets reports.

    Session 4: Maximizing your Schedules Potential
    Instructors: Ken Marcus, RFI Consultants Inc. with David Banyard, Modulus Consulting

    Class Description: This class will teach students how to build use schedules for more then just counting building components. During this class, we will show students how to develop an Occupancy Schedule that uses a Key Schedule to select room use types that determine Occupancy load numbers. Students will develop a key schedule that used integer-based values, then run formulas that will determine room occupancy, load factors and number of exits. Students will learn to build formulas, calculated values, and parameters so that calculated values will be run in the schedule. Occupancy tags will be created using shared parameters that will used in the schedule Occupancy numbers can be shown in a room tag. Also, we will cover how to round up in formula properly, mix and match different parameter types (area and integer), check if a calculated value matches a equivalent manual value in a tag to eliminate potential errors, and highlight errors for easy detection.

    Session 5: Facilities Management with Revit Architecture: What's in Your Tool Box?
    Instructors: Clyne Curtis, Brigham Young University

    Class Description: This lab class will introduce management professionals, architects, and space planners to the powerful tool set within Autodesk Revit Architecture that can be used to accurately and efficiently generate, maintain, and present facility data. Learn how to leverage project and shared parameters, rooms, area plans, color schemes, schedules, to provide up-to-date data for your end users. Explore the DBLink utility which will allow you to update parameters such as costs, life cycle information, and much more using an external database linked to your Autodesk Revit Architecture project.

    Session 6, Part B: How to Establish a BIM Project Execution Plan to Better Assist Your IPD Projects
    Instructors: Doug Williams, Perkins+Will

    Class Description: Now that Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has become relevant in the A/E/C Industry, guidelines necessary to craft a BIM Project Execution Plan are becoming indispensable tools. This session will guide you through the process of establishing a plan to better assist your design and construction team in fully utilizing BIM to its maximum potential for your clients.

    This must have roadmap will define the appropriate uses of BIM for your projects throughout its lifecycle. It is my intent to share my practical experience of creating a document to ultimately serve as a template for your firm’s projects. Resources that were initially used to establish a plan to complement/integrate with your contracts will also be covered.

    Session 6, Part B: Codebook and Revit = BIM Lifecycle Management
    Instructors: Cyril Verley, RA, President, CDV Systems, Inc. with Daniel Stonecipher, Vice President, CDV Systems, Inc.

    Class Description: CodeBook is a software program based on Access and SQL and is used to manage a building's program, equipment, furniture and lifecycle needs. It is a standalone database application that links the project program & equipment requirements to Autodesk Revit Arch and MEP.

    Instructors: Lee Miller, HOK

    Class Description: Revit for Urban Design will present a methodology that can enable project teams to quickly become efficient in a coordinated spatial environment that has computable information. The class will demonstrate a developed and documented process that connects the usually disparate and disconnected pieces of the urban design and master planning puzzles. Centered on these disciplines, the class is of value to all those in the design and decision making process.

    Session 9: Advanced Scheduling
    Instructors: Brian Mackey, CAD-1

    Class Description: We all know the “I” in “BIM” stands for Information, but how can you use that information to your advantage while working on projects? This class will show you how to use schedules to make sure you are staying within budget, use schedules to parametrically change values in objects already in the project, and how to gain access to data you may be unsure how to get. You will learn that schedules have a dual purpose.

    Session 9: Leveraging the Model Post Construction
    Instructors: Josh Lowe, TURIS

    Class Description: When BIM Models are given to the owner’s at the end of the construction, most owners have no plans to use. We will focus how models can save substantial time and money post construction; with an example from the Health Care community. This will demonstrate how a properly prepared model can effectively allow an owner to use the model to manage information through the life of the building.

    We will show how maintaining existing documents is easier with Revit. We will highlight the waste that exists currently during the document maintenance process for an owner. Additionally, we will discuss what other uses for the model are. We will show how we can use the model to make better expenditure decisions to maximize payback of investments in modelling.
