BIM_SIG_032 Special Interest Group October 2013

This session focused mainly on site modeling, creating steps in the site model, and creating a retaining wall that stepped along the site. The problem in this situation is the proximity of the retaining wall to the site boundary.

Topics covered:

• drawing contours with the freehand tool
• simplifying polygons
• 2D poly to 3D Contours
• creating the site model
• site model settings
• creating classes for site model settings
• cropping the site model
• creating site model modifies
• updating the site model
• displaying the existing site model or the proposed site model
• creating a boundary or grade limits for their site modifies
• creating a site model snapshot
• drawing the wall on a site model
• setting the wall heights so that the wall will appear on the site model
• using Fit Walls to Objects to fit the wall to the site model
• manually editing the wall peaks to fit the wall to the site modifies
• using the  Create Stepped Wall command
• using the roadway to create a path on the site model
