1 – Aims

The main goal of this tutorial is to address an overview of object – based parametric modelling

2 – Learning methodology

The teacher will give an explanation about: (1) history of digital 3D modelling and their chronology to explain their inception and evolution and (2) an explanation about object – based parametric modelling and rules as well as some non – geometric properties and features.

3 – Tutorial duration

It will last 1 teaching hours.

4 – Necessary teaching resources

Computer room with PCs with internet access.

5 – Contents

5.1 Introduction

5.2 Bim geometric shapes and their modelling

5.3 Parametric modelling

5.4 Objects and information in BIM models

6 – Deliverables

The students will answer a questionnaire.

7 – What we have learned

What are the advantages of object modelling, parametric modelling, the role of information in BIM, the relationship between information, individual objects and geometry.
