DESIGN MODEL REQUIREMENTS Sample Clauses

DESIGN MODEL REQUIREMENTS. All designers shall use Autodesk software for design. Architects will use Revit 2016 Architecture, structural designers will use the latest Revit Structure which is compatible with 2016, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection designers will use Revit MEP which is compatible with 2016 – all of which have been combined in the current version into a package called “Revit”. Civil designers shall use Civil 3D which is compatible with 2016. Parametric links should be maintained within the models at all times to enable automatic generation of all plans, sections, elevations, details, and schedules as well as 3D views. As such, the expectation shall be that all 2D representations of the design are fully coordinated with the concurrent building model. Designers shall not insert 2D CAD based content into the models because this degrades model performance. If DWGs are absolutely required, link them to the Revit model only – do not insert them into the model. DWGs and other CAD formats should be excluded from Revit families brought into the model. All information needed to describe the detailed design will be graphically or alphanumerically included in and derived from the Broward Health BIM Standards; design models only, except for the Specifications. Engineering details or other schematic diagrams (controls, wiring, flow diagrams, etc.) that cannot be derived from the model must still be included within the Revit model. 2D Project drawings and documentation shall not be created outside of the BIM authoring software (Revit). However, this does not imply that the model itself is a contract document.
