FAQ

  • What Is BIM?

    Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the foundation of digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As the leader in BIM, Autodesk is the industry's partner to realize better ways of working and better outcomes for business and the built world.

  • What is the difference between Revit and BIM?

    The difference between Revit and BIM is that BIM is a process – a methodology – for project teams to interface with technology to deliver better project outcomes in the AEC market, while Revit is a software platform designed to facilitate that process. The tools in Revit are specifically designed to support BIM, allowing users to create a structured, intelligent model with information stored in it.

  • What are the advantages of BIM over CAD?

    Both CAD and BIM processes are used to capture and communicate the design and construction intent of an AEC project using a drawing representation, helping stakeholders understand what needs to be built, and how. BIM enables design and construction teams to leverage their technology investment to do much more. The BIM process supports creation and management of information across the lifecycle of an AEC project by federating all multi-disciplinary design and construction documentation into a common dataset. Since that data can be accessed in multiple representations, from 2D to 3D to tables, the information is far more accessible and connected than the disparate data sources associated with traditional CAD approaches.

  • What is the future of BIM?

    Because of the clear benefits, BIM is here to stay. It has defined goals and objectives that are clearly beneficial to all those who work their way through the levels. Undoubtedly, the future of construction will be even more highly collaborative and digital. As BIM becomes increasingly more sophisticated, 4D, 5D, and even 6D BIM will start to play a part in the process. Furthermore, around the globe, there is an attempt to reduce waste in construction. Much of this is attributed to supply chain inefficiencies, clashes, and reworking. By working collaboratively in a BIM environment, all of this becomes much less likely, setting the stage for a better tomorrow. As we look to the future, we see tremendous potential. BIM is only the beginning of what's possible with modern construction tools and technology. When BIM is layered with the principles of Connected Construction, the dream of BIM becomes an achievable reality.

  • What are BIM-Learn Courses?

  • Do I have instructor support?

    Yes, all courses have instructor support and you can cover all your questions from start learning.

  • How long will I have access to the courses?

    all courses are life time access and you can learn easily and step by step

  • Is there a refund policy in case of dissatisfaction?

    Yes, we have a refund policy. If you are unsatisfied with the tutorials, you can request a refund within a specified time frame after purchase.

  • Are the courses suitable for beginners or do they require prior experience?

    Our BIM tutorials cater to learners of all levels. We offer tutorials designed specifically for beginners, as well as more advanced courses for users with prior experience in BIM.

  • Is there a community or forum where I can interact with other learners and instructors?

    Yes, we have a vibrant community forum where learners can interact with each other and instructors. This platform allows you to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from fellow learners.

  • Why do engineers and architects need to learn BIM?

    Today, the construction industry is moving towards digital models, and everything is being created in schematic forms before implementation. Deficiencies are addressed, and then the refined product is handed over to the execution team.

  • Why do organizations need BIM?

    In conclusion, organizations require BIM because it empowers them to create, manage, and optimize projects more effectively. Its holistic approach to project development and management enhances collaboration, efficiency, and overall project success.

  • Which course should I start with for starting BIM Process?

    You should start with learning Autodesk Revit Architecture. The Revit Architecture course is designed as a foundational step for anyone entering the field of BIM. It covers all the necessary aspects for different areas of work within BIM.

  • As a mechanical engineer, how do I get started? You should begin by taking the Revit Architecture course to become familiar with the Revit environment and its commands. After that, you can proceed to the specialized Revit MEP course.
