Hot Models = Sexy Kinky BIM
The play on words is not only for effect; the concepts actually fit and
express some of the keys to master for creating and delivering more
and more successful AECO BIM projects.

What is Sexy Kinky BIM?
Efficiently and pleasurably strategize, create, coordinate
and communicate desirable data and information.

Sexy because when the BIM processes are working efficiently,
effectively and proactively then the results are beautiful.

Kinky because our projects require every team and individual to
both give information as well as receive information, depending
on project needs.

Efficiently and pleasurably setup, give and receive desirable
(hot) building information models.
Simple, Easy & Complex
I suggest that a distinction can be made between easy and
simple.

Simple is defined as: Composed of a single element; not compound
according to The Googles. I use this definition to create more finite
organization of actions in contrast to easy, which is defined as:
achieved without great effort; presenting few difficulties.

Hmmm, without great effortfew difficulties huh? That seems a bit
vague and subjective to me so I use it herein with a bit of scepticism
myself; but never mind that now, thats a beer-o-clock conversation
you can always approach me in person, email or tweet out to keep
that conversation going.
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 4 of 45

I must admit that this idea is ever evolving but for now I work under the
conceptual premise that Simple has a pair of potential options, with
complexities or not; while easy has larger and varying amounts of
possibilities and complexities. That said lets look at three of what I will
call simple steps.
(Hot) Models | The Simple Steps
Simple? Yes, these three are either/ors in my opinion.
Complex? Yes, Simply-Complex I find quite a bit.
00 | Strategy
Having no strategy is still a strategy: just bad!
I would like you to take an idea on-board and if we can agree on this
one point, I think it will show that there are myriad good and bad ways
to approach BIM; whether the (final) Building, the Information or the
(Hot) Model
The worst possible project for everyone is bad
Thats it, thats all we need suppose.
With that one assumption we can
easily postulate that there is a
positive converse; a Good if you
will; creating a continuum where
there is a myriad of possible ideals
and plateaus that are all certainly
better than the worst possible project
for everyone on the planet. (Yes I
am also invoking a bit of the
butterfly effect too : )
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 5 of 45

The best possible project for everyone is good
If we can agree on these ideas then we can honestly discuss strategies
and furthermore strategies for success. First though lets dive into some
approaches that are too oft used in AEC and O: No explicit strategy.

Having no consciously devised strategy leaves intact an unpredictable
approach at best and a disastrous one at worst.

Holding such an unadvised business model is further an untenable path
and ultimately and consequentially will negatively impact project
outcomes, firm growth, profit and reputation, if not its viability as the
business climates cycle.

Using no explicit strategy can be thought of as a generator (of a sort)
of AECO climate change -and similarly, (but to a more complete
degree) as in the Earthly climate change, we are in control of it; we
are its generator though a main distinction between these examples
is in AECO there is still time to reverse bad approaches.
An AECO Landscape | The Strategy Continuum

-The AECO Landscape principle was inspired by some of Sam Harriss concepts in The
Moral Landscape Similar to the image above good AECO approaches are shown
as peaks.

01 | Infrastructure
Infrastructure is an important aspect to creating (Hot) Models and the
ROI for most every upgrade can be huge! The infrastructure discussion
is greater than is practical including herein to a comprehensive
degree, but I will give some topics to focus on as well as info and a few
links to get your research started in the (hopefully) correct direction.
External Digital System | Connection to the outside world
o Reliability
o Speed
Up and Down(load)
Internal Digital Ecosystem | Connection to the inside world
o Ecosystem and Layout
Open Plan offices are not efficient! (Go find the
research, its out there!) Here are a few places to
peruse:

Why-people-are-finally-waking-up-to-it.html

http://www.newyorker.com/ business/currency
/the-open-office-trap
I suggest dark, quiet environments, learning from the
movie and high-end visualization fields, these are
perhaps the most efficient scenes for heavy
computer work when anything graphical is created.
o Network
Connection/ Throughput
Workstation grade user systems See the
performance spec below

2 x 24 Monitors (Minimum) See the performance
spec below
o Backup plan
The power will go out for a few days or more at
some point
What will the firm do then?
General System Considerations
Autodesk's SysReq's can all be found at these links but I would
emphatically suggest that you to go well beyond even their
"Performance: Large, Complex Model" spec's, as I will illustrate below.

"Performance: Large, Complex Model" | The Spec's
-From Autodesk, with my comments in blue:
Windows 8 64-bit Enterprise or Professional edition, or Windows 7
64-bit Enterprise, Ultimate, Professional, or Home Premium edition
OK, say goodbye to Vista64!!!
Multicore Xeon or i-Series processor or AMD equivalent with SSE2
technology (highest affordable CPU speed rating
recommended) -Can't agree more, this is where the bulk of $$$
should go!
Multiple cores for many tasks, up to 16 cores for near-
p(Hot)orealistic rendering operations Yes! 16 cores!!!
Unless by the time this is published there are more
available ;)
16 GB RAM (Usually sufficient for a typical editing session for a
single (Hot) Model up to approximately 700 MB on disk. This
estimate is based on internal testing and customer reports.
Individual (Hot) Models will vary in their use of computer
resources and performance characteristics.) It's 2013 now and
we should think of 16 GB being the base amount for
Workstations, but 32GB or 64GB are my recommendations!
128GB seems a bit costly for average projects and users but
those who do large projects should really fight for 128GB.
(Hot) Models created in previous versions of Revit software
products may require more available memory for the one-time
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 8 of 45

upgrade process -See? 16GB is not going to be "enough" to work
effectively for many, if not most of us.
5 GB free disk space; 10,000+ RPM for Point Cloud interactions
Can you say: SSD? Solid State Drives are mandatory IMHO!!! Use
the old spinning drives for archiving, etc. but use SSD's for all
system and other software + Active Workstation storage... Several
drives may be required (read as: ARE Required) these days...
Also; only 5GB of free space? Hahaha -if you only have 5 free GB
of space you need some help -or a new SSD!!!

1,920 x 1,200 monitor with true colour
-That should say:
o Basic setup 2 x 24" Monitors at 1920 x 1200 pixels
o Recommended/ Preferred setup 2 x 27" Monitors at
2,560x1440 pixels
o OMFG setup 4 (to 6) x 24" or 4 x 27" to 30 Monitors ;)
DirectX 10 capable graphics card with Shader (Hot) Model 3 as
recommended by Autodesk

See this link to find
"Certified" Graphics
cards, etc. The ADSK
"Recommended"
ones may be OK but
then again, maybe
not... Use at your own
choosing, after
testing.
Internet Explorer 7 (or later) Yeah that will happen since it's built
into Microsoft Windows, though I use Mozilla Firefox primarily.
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 9 of 45

MS-Mouse or 3Dconnexion-compliant device -I suggest the
following:
o MS-Mouse (for the scroll wheel :-)
o 3Dconnexion Space Pilot Pro or Space Mouse Pro for daily work
o 3Dconnexion Space Navigator for travel,
o Wacom Intous5 Touch Large Pen Tablet (This replaces my
mouse!!! -except for that pesky scroll wheel)
Note: I also use a Wacom Cintiq 22 at home, so if you can afford
one of those (mine was a gift) it's a great 3rd (or 5th ;-) Monitor as
well as being an Interactive drawing surface... So, until all
monitors are touch w/ pens these Cintiq's are awesome!
Download or installation from DVD9 or USB key OK
Internet connectivity for license registration and prerequisite
component download OK
To hell with more cowbell I say: More Processor, More Ram and More
Monitor

02 | The-A-Team
Good teams make Hot Models | Hot Models make good projects

(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 11 of 45

Teams are only as good as their weakest link?
First off I do not believe that is entirely true but weak teammates do
have a strong proclivity for negatively affecting any team, if not
handled with honesty and closely managed. The team is a product of
every player, calculated in concert with one another.
The best possible team is good
Similar to the image above for An AECO Landscape the converse is
also true This is a way we can look at many issues: What is the
continuum we are constrained within and how can we get the best
possible results?

The bastardization of the original a chain is only as strong as its
weakest link can be used to some effect, though this must be
balanced with the understanding that the complexion of the overall
team is what obviously predicts the potential outcomes.

n order to make honest and real judgements as to any
positive or negative effects players on the team may bring;
one does need to evaluate and rate the players honestly.
+Having a plan to create an environment of A-Teams
doesnt hurt!
Hopefully we can all agree that the overall complexion of any team
wants to be heavy with talent (if not entirely staffed with such A-Teams)
and then have a lesser mix of intermediate staff and an even smaller
mix of inexperienced players; to be a realistic and nominal team.

Do you want nominal or extraordinary? The question is that simple.
Either hire A-Teams or develop them but be sure that developing A-
Teams will take fortitude, investment and time. How much of these
depend on how the approach is devised, planned and implemented.
AECO Needs A-Teams
Providing pathways for staff to achieve these A-levels of proficiency
and expertise as well as a framework to see that achieved as quickly
as possible is perhaps job #1 for management.
I
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 12 of 45

Bring younger, or less experienced teammates, etc. up to speed and
mentor them into A-Team candidates (both BIM and Discipline related)
ASAP.

One does the project and the firm a disservice with an all (or mostly)
inexperienced team Unless these under-experienced (etc.) teams
have extra time for re-working inevitable and understandable mistakes,
as well as extra budget to cover all the necessary overtime, etc.
Expectations | Reality vs. Delusion
If the team on the project is not up to the level of expertise
necessary; expecting them to deliver a quality BIM project is
simply a delusion and success is a crap-shoot at best.
That is not a personal attack, we have all been there but
we do need to deal with staffing in an honest manner, with
integrity. Meaning: if we acknowledge the teams actual
levels of expertise and work with that as it is then at least
we can plan for success and bring everyone up to the A-
Team state.

Assess
Preliminary and Schematic Phase (BIM Project design)

Know What you are to do, When and Whythen add How!

Define the BIM Teams AKA: BIM Orchestra: once these are chosen and
the contracts are being finalized and signed, a BIM Execution Plan
should be in place or developed and become part of the agreed
upon contracts, since they define much of the scope. These early
assessment phase communications and collaboration comes at a
crucial time where the prospective players begin to formulate an
alliance and open working channels.
Remove Vagaries | Work with Specifics
Define and articulate all knowable tasks, methods, workflows and
schedules at the Pre-Schematic or Project design phase. This is the time
to come to an agreed upon understanding of what is expected and
what is ultimately going to be delivered and when; in effort of getting
the project built and operating as efficiently as possible.

(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 14 of 45

Plan
Strategic BIM Project Planning
The Architect, Structural, MEP Engineers and Contractors, plus all other
design team members will need to come to an understanding on who
is (Hot) Modelling what elements in each of their respective (Hot)
Models and phases. Do this by using a checklist like the AIA-E203 that
lists the elements on the project and then assign an element author
and Level of Development (LOD) for each, at each phase. Bear in
mind that some element ownerships may overlap and more than one
design team member may want to (Hot) Model these elements; such
as floor slabs, lighting, etc. Do not do this in a vacuum!

The question: Who Owns What and for How Long is paramount to
decipher. Once decided, further plans on how to transfer these from
one Author to another become necessary. Try to keep it easy, but
provide the appropriate levels of complexity in the process
descriptions.

Project Planning Questions | A Partial List
First off, preface every project-planning question with: Whatever we
do; is it to be individually, together, collaboratively and/ or jointly?
Coming to an agreement on the use of the (Hot) Models with

the Architect, Engineers, Owner and Contractor will establish
how much (Hot) Modelling efforts there will need to be on the
project and will set expectations accordingly. Furthermore,
by planning the entire process and illustrating those plans,
you will provide opportunities to stay on track and not
waste valuable time and money. Another good device, in
addition to the AIA-E202 is the Project Execution Plan (PXP)
or BIM Execution Plan (BIMEXP), explained later in this
document
Who will do what?
When will we do what?
How will we do it?
Where will we coordinate with one another?
o Whose hardware is to be used?
Do we need a VR cave or Virtual Prototypes?
What will we need from one another?
When will we revise?
How long will we change what we do?
o Models-Down needs to be real
per each (Hot) Model distribution?
How will we integrate what we each do, how often?
Where are the (Hot) Models housed while working
Where are the aggregated (Hot) Models housed
How we will deliver and submit what we do, how often?
What are all of the intended uses of the BIMs?
Is the (Hot) Model (or (Hot) Models) to be simply used for
Architectural and Structural coordination only
Will other disciplines be involved in the 3D coordination effort?
o MEP
o Contractor
o Sub-Contractors
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 16 of 45

o Fabricators
o Fire Sprinkler (if not MEP)
o Owners (FM)
Will the Revit (Hot) Model be part of the deliverable as a
contract document
Will the Contractor use it to estimate or build from?
Will the Contractor use it at all or re-build anew?
Are there other platform (Hot) Models?
What are all (YES ALL) of the softwares and versions used?
Are there other deliverables beyond CDs and (Hot) Models?
What is required to be submitted and approved at each phase
& milestone of the project?
Is the Revit (Hot) Model expected to be delivered with 2D
drawings and digital prints at Schematic Design, Design
Development, CD, etc.?
What is the plan to organize the (Hot) Models themselves
o Views, Sheets, Components, Parameters, discrete
zones/ buildings, etc.
Project Phase, defined (Hot) Model and submission protocols
Revit Specific Phasing usage protocols
What is the change management process?
What are the cutoff dates ((Hot) Model Freeze, Designer Freeze,
etc.)
What is the strategy to get Construction changes into The As-Built
BIM?
As you can see there are a lot of issues to deal with and these along
with the BxP, BIMx, J BEP, BIMeXP, PXP, or whatever you call them, will
get you right on your way to addressing the issues at hand: A
Coordinated BIM.

A Few Notes on Sheet Coordination
Coordination of the sheet set is nothing new to AEC, nor to BIM
projects. By coordinating through sheet parameters, disciplines can
designate their sheets that should be included in the sheet index as
well as which are included in each release. These parameters can then
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 17 of 45

be scheduled, including those in linked (Hot) Models, to create and
sort the master index. Thats (Hot)!

Kick Off Meetings
In addition to what may be included in the BIMeXP, here are some
other Revit Specific, Proactive Plans to
consider including and discussing
plus finalizing at the Kick-off
Meeting.
Warnings (Zero is the best

number to work with!!!)
Timeline Expectations
(Hot) Modelling
Procedures
Copy-Monitor
Design Options
Phasing
Worksets
Models-Down strategy at each phase for (Hot) Models (anno,
detailing can continue)
Visual (Hot) Model Coordination items
(Hot) Model Clean up
Kick off meetings are essential and may be a series of meetings that
include the creation or completion of the BIM execution plan.
The project starts at these meetings, not when something is first (Hot)
Modelled. Therefore, assign the right people now.

Getting the right people in the meeting and not just principals is
paramount. Get people with technical knowledge and understanding
of not only BIM, but the Project Type and Construction Methodology
and Design, Owner and Budgetary needs, so that unrealistic promises
are not made. As stated previously: Not just decision makers but also
thinkers, creative and technical players as well...

(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 18 of 45

The more that is nailed down early the more coordinated the project
will be. Make sure to strategize every system, major and minor so there
are as few unknowns as possible.

Hosted Components
Discuss positives/ negatives for using hosted & non-hosted
objects. In particular, the results for deletion of host objects in
relation to their hosted objects. This is mandatory for every
object, just like Copy/Monitor protocols are necessary!

Copy/Monitor
Copy/Monitor should be avoided for plumbing fixtures and lights,
according to some MEP philosophies; it is a better workflow to
have these objects in both (Hot) Models and coordinate views
showing either the architects or the engineers version via view
templates and/ or worksets. This requires coordination from both
sides to ensure both are on the same page with changes. There
are other philosophies where this duplication is not desiredwork
it out early, so everyone knows what is expected.

Another approach is to transfer the ownership of these
components, based on the BIMEXP and AIA-E202, but whatever
the case get this down in the BIMEXP.

File Linking
Upon successful linking, MEP should set the linked architecture
(Hot) Model(s) to room bounding so that spaces can be
created, based on the Architects room objects. Correctly label
the spaces with the same name as the architects rooms. MEP
can either create a space tag that uses the room name/number
from the architects (Hot) Model or use the subscription add-in
called Space Naming Utility to transfer the names from the
architects (Hot) Model into the spaces in the MEP (Hot) Model.
Linked views
Linked views are very powerful when used to match views from
other (Hot) Models. Structural and MEP should coordinate with
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 19 of 45

the Architect and each will create dedicated views that can be
used for backgrounds in one anothers discipline specific (Hot)
Models.

Annotation Import
Having a set of documents look the same across multiple
disciplines is a desired touch. The architect should create an
example project that has their annotation families displayed and
explained for use by the other disciplines. These annotations
should include grids, levels, tags, view markers, view titles,
titleblocks, etc.

Who Owns What
Owning an element just does not mean who (Hot) Models the
elements. Owning an element means that the Owning team is
ultimately responsible for the elements placement, size and
location. Its ok if the Architect and the Structural Engineer (Hot)
Model the same elements, such as slabs but only one team
should own them. Make a checklist, the AIA E 203 is a good start
but expand it since only the very basic of structural elements are
listed in that document. Pay close attention to who owns
columns, beams, curbs, slabs, and non-load bearing masonry
walls, lights, receptacles, plumbing fixtures...

(Hot) Model Exchange & Setups
Several steps are involved when exchanging (Hot) Models
between disciplines. Setup includes linking, (Hot) Model cleanup,
shared coordinates, etc. Have everything possibly known about
project needs addressed and discussed at these meetings.
Define cleanup procedures, so those can be added to the
BIMEXP as well, as no-one needs extraneous things in (Hot)
Models that are linked back and forthDo you Need those
sheets, schedules, legends, details, renderings, elevations and
sections in the other disciplines (Hot) Models, etc. for each (Hot)
Model transfer? (See: http:/ / cad-vs-
bim.blogspot.com/ 2010/04/revit-to-revit-file-linking.html for
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 20 of 45

considerations to consider in cleaning files for transfer ;-) Dont
forget to Purge Unused too!!!

Remember, these solutions are scalable for projects of differing
sizes and complexities, so dont get overwhelmed if you have
smaller or only moderately complex projects these same
concepts will help every project type and size.
Create
Create = Make, Coordinate, Annotate, Detail, Peer Review (QC)

Making (Hot) Models
Plan the work; Work the plan. Its as simple as that! Simply-Complex as
that, more like ;)

Schematic Design
Refining the BIM | Model for Construction, Coordinate for Efficiency
If the BIMEXP is followed and teams are conscious of and (Hot)
Modelling into coordination, employing good QA processes; this along
with Project and BIM management oversight (and input) then there will
be less QC and ultimately better projects. Architects and Engineers are
best served if they are aware that a large, if not main part of what they
should be doing is to: Model for Construction It is one of the main
stories we need tell and thats where we can save client huge monies!
Pencils-Down is Models Down

Make sure all the teams understand the importance of Models-Down
and that it needs happen well before the actual submittal dates.
Designers need the earliest Models-Down at each stage, since so
much depends on the (Hot) Model not shifting under Documentation
and Details, etc. Also the Production and Coordination and
Consultant teams will need time to integrate changes, round-trip that
all back at least once and then submit: once the coordination and
corrections are completed. Staying ahead of the schedule and
budget is Coordination J ob One!
(Hot) Models Wanted

Page 21 of 45

Example of Models-Down Planning:
If the work to coordinate prior to a submittal generates one week
of work for each discipline, that means Models-Down for Design
is three weeks... Now, the production teams can add information
such as Tags and Dimensions, etc. but no Design changes to the
Virtual Building itselfor else SNAFU.

This example considers: One week to do the individual work, One
week to integrate each other's work back in and do QC of that
work, then the third week for slight touch ups, printing and
delivery.

Be very clear, the third week in that scenario is going to be used,
no matter the schedule or plan, sometimes due to unforeseen
issues, missing work, mistakes, etc. or will be a more rare
occurrence where time can be actually captured back on the
project timeline, allowing us to do more of the big picture work...

Plan a Models-Down Strategy for each project stage and phase; for
each necessary team component: Design, Detailing, etc.

Staying ahead of the schedule and budget is Coordination Job One!
Keep teaching/ reinforcing that.

Working with others can bring up very interesting scenarios, one that
Architecture finds with Civil seems a relic from the past that may want
to be re-thought (read as must be re-thought)! Properly (Hot)
Modelled BIM require that Civil is best to call out and (Hot) Model to
Top Of Dirt, not Top Of Surface. The Architects and Structural teams will
(Hot) Model the actual finish surfaces and we do not want to have
those objects taking up the same space and time!

To coordinate curbs and surfaces with design teams and (Hot) Models
in a BIM World, the dirt is what is important from the Civil Engineers, if
the other Hard-Surfaces are to be modelled by others, that is. Get
these and other items strategized in the BIMeXP and Kick-off Meetings
and you will have a much better BIM. In addition, if or as issues come
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 22 of 45

up during the project that speak to missing parts of a plan, etc. then
add those to your documentation for next time -through the Refine
part of Validation from the Assess | Plan | Create | Validate concepts
shown earlier.
Coordinated (Hot) Model | Modification Reactions

Teams are likened to an artist learning eye to hand coordination, via
Blind Contour drawing techniques... Or drawing by looking at the
subject, not the paper In doing that there are those times when the
eye to hand is working great there are bits of clarity likewise, the BIM
Execution Plan and preliminary coordination meetings can be the
catalyst that binds the teams into one greater organism.

If we can work in a less linear fashion, more dynamically, interactively;
the team or Building Artist Team can make more beautiful pictures...
AKA: Better BIM and ultimately Better Projects!
During the SD phase if the architect is able to produce a (Hot)

Model that contains rooms, then MEP should create a spaces
(Hot) Model for analysis and pre-design. Space (Hot) Models
allow for HVAC calculations based on room volumes as well as
potential day lighting calculations and other calculations. If the
architectural (Hot) Model does not have rooms then the typical
MEP SD deliverable would be a narrative based on calculations
performed in other software.

Considerations for All to Use, though Structural in Nature
BIM has changed the traditional Schematic Design phase of a
project because so much information is now required to be
placed into the 3D (Hot) Models early on. This is good in that
there is a lot of information that is decided early on which helps
with design, however this also means that much more
information is expected from the Architect.

This is where a lot of time and money could be wasted, if we are
not careful. So do not do more than what is required, no more
than the BIMEXP stipulates. Its possible that very little
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 23 of 45

coordination needs to happen at the SD phase, other than
showing the Architect the nominal beam depths for instance.

Consider the following roof surface and framing and ask if this
would need to be (Hot) Modeled with curving roof members at
this time, or if (Hot) Modelling straight, flat roof members is good
enough during SD; since curved and straight roof beams look the
same in plan anyway! See image at right.
SchematicFraming:Planlooksflat,nomatterthenatureof(Hot)Modelling:Isthis(Hot)
ModellingneededatSD???
The SD phase of the project is less about coordination and more

about setting up the correct parameters of the project so
coordination can go smoothly later on. If you spend a lot of time
on coordination at this phase, in fine detail, the chances are that
things will change and you will have to coordinate those items
again. Be patient and let columns, and grids, and walls settle
down in their locations first, then coordinate the structure with
them, unless the BIMEXP stipulates otherwise.

Ask what the nominal ceiling depths and wall widths are and
make sure there is enough room left for mechanical systems. If
the ceiling depths are too shallow, make sure to point out that
the beam designs could be non-efficient and may need to get
deeper. Make sure to be very clear what Nominal vs. actual
Beam depths mean.
(Hot) Models Wanted

CoordinatingCeilingDepths(3DCutawayView)
Make sure to get the Geographical Coordinates and shared

coordinates set up was well and ask the Architect if they plan to
move the building or if the Architect has accounted for that to
potentially happen. Finally, determine whether it is worth the
effort to Copy/ Monitor all or any elements in Revit. Copy/ Monitor
will work great and help coordinate elements between the
Architectural and the Structural (Hot) Models seamlessly if it is
planned for, used and managed correctly that is.

There are major limitations to Copy/Monitor since only grids,
levels, columns, walls, and slabs could be
Copy/Monitored and its ok to just use it in the early
phases. Be cautious if elements are too complicated.
In the end, I would recommend that you use
Copy/Monitor in the early stages of the
project then once everything is
settled down and the architect
promises not to move
anything then stop doing it.

A General Contractor has

and coordinated successfully; given the opportunity
to provide early input, design guidance and team

integration greatly impacts the projects success rate. When a
contractor is brought to the table later, only given prints,
pdfs/dwfs or 2D dwg files for a project, or not given a right to
rely on the (Hot) Model(s) from the design team, during the
construction phase most of the General Contractors time must
then be spent in (Hot) Model creation and coordination. This is
an endeavor that can be abated by fully leveraging the
Contractors expertise throughout the projects design lifecycle.

Design Development
Coordinating Changes
The process and players are now known elements. The space to
perform the coordination sessions have been setup and perhaps even
used for SD phase coordination, if the plan specified as much. What is
the best setup? That answer comes down to budget and project type.
For a 5,000 SF pad building, not much more than a conference room
with a large monitor and a computer to view the aggregated (Hot)
Model from may suffice. For larger more complex projects, we could
use a Cave where there is a computer and large monitor for each
discipline, plus another with the aggregated (Hot) Model, so as items
are discussed each player can control their needed changes, while
the CM, etc. can manage the overall process.

(Hot) Models Wanted

Is there a need for or a case to make that Virtual Reality is to be used
(BTW: this would have been brought to light in the planning stages and
included in the BIMEXP) If so, does there need to be space provided
for that? Do prospective tenant/users need to have other sessions
where they can virtually test the pending Design, to ensure proper
clearances, etc. such as in the case of Surgical Theaters, etc.?

(Hot) Model Auditing
Remember this from earlier? DD and CD are the phases where these
audits will happen multiple times.
The following audits must be performed to assure quality and

coordinated efforts and output (The Virtual Project), you may
have more audits as well:
Visual Audits (Human Clash Detection)
Interference Audits (Clash Detection Reports)
Standards Audits
(Hot) Model Integrity Audits

This is all distinct from the Architectural and Engineering technical
audits and reviews that need to happen

Models-Down is no joke when considering getting projects
coordinated properly!
In every case, these live coordination sessions should use (Hot) Models
from each discipline, individually color-coded for ease of visibility. Cut
the (Hot) Model using a live 3D view and keep moving the cut line
through the building a foot or so at a time. When completed from the
first direction, un-cut the view and repeat the process in a
perpendicular direction.

These Visual Audits are the same as for internal coordination but can
highlight many potential issues well before they are built or planned on
being built.

Is the envelope virginal and intact, or is it now violated? AKA:
Get that Column out of the Toilet!!!
DD is the phase where most coordination needs to occur, typically. At

the end of this phase all the major structural elements will need to be
sized and placed. Therefore, its important get the coordination
correct so that the major structural elements will not need to be
changed in the CD phase.

All the 3D (Hot) Models need to be refined in this phase so make sure
that you are finalizing and accounting for all the correct ceiling
heights, wall assemblies, and interior opening locations so that the MEP
and Structural members fit with the Architectural envelopes, etc.

Verify that everything is becoming properly placed, for instance
Structure at the edge of openings or at the edge or slabs, per the
desired detailing and design needs. If the team does not know this
information, ask for details of these systems. The image below that
shows a sample of beam offset.
(Hot) Models Wanted

Page 28 of 45

CoordinatingBeamoffsetswithslabopenings(3DCutawayView)
Verify that the Architect has shown any Structural elements in the
architectural Revit/BIM. It is better to ask early so that any
structural elements that are not showing up correctly could be
fixed so you could avoid it in the 11th hour in the CD phase when
everyone is in panic mode to make a submittal. A common
problem is that family settings, for structural framing of braces for
example, work for the structural Revit (Hot) Model but do not
show correctly for the architectural Revit (Hot) Model.

No Blind Changes in a Vacuum Any Longer
Its in DD and CD where we must not blindly change settings or
components in any of the (Hot) Models without first considering
the down-stream ramifications. Such as to change settings in the
Structural Revit (Hot) Model and risk it not looking correct in the
Structural plans just because it is not showing as desired in the
Architectural (Hot) Model. Help each other and suggest a
solution such as, that the Architect may need to make their own
Structural Revit families to show their own graphic settings, or
help them realize that BIM graphics can look different than
CADD graphics and that is usually the best solution as those
purely graphical issues arise.

(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 29 of 45

Set up and or attend live coordination sessions with the architect
and other design professionals and at these meetings and
establish how often (Hot) Model are exchanged and (Hot)
Models are to be shared back and forth.
What about the MEP design engineers and what about their (Hot)
Models? As the structural engineer the coordination should primarily
occur between the architectural (Hot) Model and the structural (Hot)
Model. This is because the architectural (Hot) Model should be
constantly updated to account for MEP changes that would affect
structural. Again there are exceptions, but as a structural engineer you
do not want to get involved with having to coordinate between the
MEP and architecture. Consider interior slab edges as an example, if
the architect is responsible for the structural slab edges then its best to
wait for the architect to coordinate those openings with the MEP
engineer and then coordinate those openings with the architect. With
all this said, its best to open and link in the MEP 3d (Hot) Model into the
structural 3d (Hot) Model to find major items that would need
coordination.

If all of this coordination and collaboration is done successfully and the
contractor is happy with the design teams well-coordinated (Hot)
Models and well formatted (Hot) Models, then the owner will find out
and everybody winsplus the (Hot) Models may actually not require
rebuilding for CA and FMjust amended.

When a contractor is given well-coordinated Revit (Hot) Models
from the design teams during pre-construction, there are a
number of Autodesk and Autodesk compatible tools that they
can now use to improve the project quality and workflow.

(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 30 of 45

These (and other) tools:
enhance coordination and collaboration with the design team
during pre-construction and construction, reducing RFIs and
change orders
allow the General Contractor to mine the (Hot) Model for
construction phase information
give the construction team leverage to use other tools like
augmented reality and the growing list of mobile apps to
improve BIM in the field
and help the entire team to provide a data rich deliverable to
the owner for facility maintenance and operation
During DD, the MEP consultant should coordinate with the architect
and structural engineer for the location and size of the mechanical
room as well as utility risers, shafts, and chases. Major equipment
location should be coordinated, such as boilers, cooling towers, air
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 31 of 45

handlers, heat pumps, exhaust fans, electrical panels, generators,
etc. Additionally, ADA requirements for plumbing fixtures should be
addressed.
Planning and interaction-(Hot) Modelling by the entire Design-

Construction team throughout each phase will help the overall
streamlining of processes and raise the abilities of all to deliver more
predictable, effective projects, whether micro (Discipline specific) or
macro (whole Project specific). Know What you are (Hot) Modelling,
When and Why!

Construction Documentation
All consultants get deep into it with Contractor coordination
Sequencing for Construction
Production does documentation & detailing while BIM teams
coordinate away final clashes
All efforts toward BIM Handover to GC
At this phase, in theory, the architects should not be designing

anything any longer, if it impacts the coordinated nature of the
project, unless full cost/benefit analysis is completed to justify the
changesno matter where the idea to change comes from (read as
Client). The Design should have all been completed in the DD phase
(Thats why it is called that after all) so that it allows the documentation
& detailing teams, the engineers and other consultants the ability to
finish all the final work to get the (Hot) Model and documents
buildable, submitted approved and priced out.

Keep in mind that some Structural drawings are submitted to
Municipalities in DD all the time, for reasons such as to secure mill orders
for rough steel framing lengths or for a foundation permits to the
building department, etc.

(Hot) Models Wanted

The Cost of Late Change=Driving a Mercedes into the
Ground

CD Phase Design Changes Cost a Shit Load
What is important to remind the team well before a submittal is due, is
that the design should be complete at this point and if any of the early
documents have been submitted and approved (thus legal contracts)
for material purchase, etc. then any Design changes will be costly.
Architectural drawings and Structural drawings and other design

drawings all work, each as a symbiont being; where one cannot
survive
without the
other.
Therefore, it
is important
to make sure
that the
architectural
and
structural 3d
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 33 of 45

(Hot) Models are
well
coordinated
before the early
structural
submittal and
that the
architect has
planned to
create a set of
early submittal
drawings as well.
This is not as
easy as it sounds
for the architect because usually when the structural engineer
needs to submittal drawings early the last thing on all the other
design teams minds is to also create a set of drawings to
accompany the structural.

Coordination meetings between all the design teams should
work out the connections and detailing of the primary structure.
If may be necessary to (Hot) Model large connections of the
structural elements such as gusset plates, that may interfere with
architectural elements. Also, make sure to ask and coordinate
where all the non-load bearing masonry walls in the project.

Mining the (Hot) Model
BIM has always been defined as Building Information ((Hot))
Modelling. Even though the I in BIM can be the most powerful
part of the (Hot) Model, it is often overlooked and underused.
Well organized, designed, and developed Revit (Hot) Models
contain valuable information for the construction team. By
mining this information from the (Hot) Model the construction
team can get organized lists of quantities; assign costs, and
instantly track changes between different iterations of the (Hot)
Models. Quantities drive the schedule, fabrication, delivery, and
manpower. Cost drives the budget which can impact the
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 34 of 45

design. Using BIM to store, organize, extract, and manage this
information puts a project team on the right path for a quality
project, on-time and on-budget.

How do we deal with changes?
As discussed previously, Using Copy Monitor can make it extremely
efficient to modify the design to match new geometry or design
options. Setting up the Revit (Hot) Model to look for the latest linked
(Hot) Models can make reloading the latest version of consultants
(Hot) Models very simple and efficient. This can be done very simply in
the Revit software and basically involves using the Manage Links tool
to point the linked (Hot) Model at the latest version of a consultants
(Hot) Model. If these automated systems are not used, or for other
items that Copy/Monitor does not handle we must perform all of the
types of coordination mentioned in the BIMEXP: Visual Audits,
Interference Audits, Standards Audits, (Hot) Model Integrity Audits and
any others you deem necessary.

Remember that Copy Monitor only works on 5 elements: Beams, Walls,
Slabs, Grids, and Levels, at this time.
When working with a new (Hot) Model from a consultant it is

definitely a best practice to utilize whatever new grids or levels
that have been created or modified in their (Hot) Model. These
items are the cornerstones of the BIM and should be maintained
very accurately which is very easy to do if using Copy Monitor on
them.
Validate
Pretty simple if you ask me: What worked? What didnt work? Present.

This is typically both a written report as well as project team
presentation (slides and all ;), that if also shared with the extended
teams and whole firm(s) can create an open, transparent workflow
where people are comfortable sharing project truths, in order to better
the systems moving forward. Make these accusatory and they are
sunk.

04 | (Hot) Modelling FOR Construction

Stud Rails, 3D Grids & Surcharge Revit Families
Modelling certain elements that are typically (read typically as in the
dead, 2D past) either left out of models or only provided as details,
such as the surcharge family above.

These surcharges for instance, take a short
time to input, like 1 hour or so per building,
which in the grand scheme of hot models
and projects is almost nothing BUT the
impact of having these in the design BIM
and onward will (yes, WILL) pay huge dividends during consultant
modelling and all coordination, etc.

If an Architect cannot deal with spending 1 hour on these items then
that shows they are further down the AECO Continuum, probably lower
than they envision.
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 36 of 45

The Stud Rails shown come in two flavors: 2-Rail and 3-Rail and include
Column Width.
These are very sneaky in their import. How
many times has an MEPF Engineer or Trade
Contractor tried to place a pipe, etc. too
close to a concrete column-to-beam
intersection and then the pipes dont fit in
reality-world, then a change order (or 10)
and voil how many thousands of dollars did that just cost?

Say you dont care? Say thats the contractors responsibility? Not if
you want to create hot models that bring (or start to bring back)
Architecture and Architects to the master builder level that the
industry once viewed them as.

The 3D Grid is purely for coordination and mostly for Navisworks, since
its Heads-up-display (HUD) grids and levels
are, well, less than optimum. The 3D Grid can
be had from: http:/ / cad-vs-
bim.blogspot.com/ 2013/10/3d-grids-in-revit-
oldie-but-goodie-done.html

PLUS!!! There are some cool addons at:
http://revitcoaster.blogspot.com/2014/ 07/bimconsortium-revit-addin-
update-new.html one of which applies these 3D Grids in the same
place and length as the grids internal to Revit, as well as copies set to
each level included! Thanks Troy Gates @TroyGates for the addons :D

(Hot) Models Wanted

BIM Consortium tools (to date)

So; there are 3 easy things we can do to save literally thousands of
dollars with negligible effort. Id say that lifts the whole floor on our
teams when these processes are used.

Oh and BTW: I have (already) posted these families online, for
download from: Architects Modeling for Construction (http:/ / cad-vs-
bim.blogspot.com/ 2014/10/architects-modeling-for-construction.html )
so add to these the addons above and Im confident your models will
be even hotter!
05 | Speed is Good | Meth is Bad
Lets explore a few things under this heading
A discussion on how to consider speed
Keyboard Shortcuts which I will give out, after some discussion ;)
Speed IS Good
No, not that kind; the kinds that allow us more efficacies, efficiency
and any other applicable e words. When I was young, I had a
manager who had a plaque on his desk that read something like: If you
want something done right the first time then give it to someone lazy.
WOW, I had heard that I could be lazy and that started an internal
dialog that began by looking at lazy differently Not the lethargic lazy
but one where extra work is undesirable, if it isnt needed. Well, as the
years went on I finally got it it being a change in my perception of
lazy and I have changed that conversation into Efficient!!!

(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 38 of 45

Efficiency is the type of workflow that I can embrace, that
AECO needs embrace to its fullest extents possible.

Toward that end speed does want to be efficient (and of course fast)
but having said that and after hopefully planting the efficiency seed, I
want to take a hard left.
Sometimes to be fast one needs to slow down.
What what what???

Yeah exactly that: Sometimes to be fast one needs to slow down; and
what I mean to say is that jumping straight into things, while it may
seem fast, can and usually does create inefficiencies and ultimately
slow-downs. Planning is imperative, not just at a macro, project overall
level but also down to the micro, task, object leveland everywhere in
between.

The whole idea of assessment and planning, even when applied to
task oriented duties may take some up-front time but will create an
approach to deliver better content or tasks ultimately faster and most
likely betterthus: HOT!!!

For instance: Next time you need create a Revit family plan it out on
paper first. Sketch what it needs to look like, plan all the parameters, 2D
symbolic geometries along with the 3D Think if nesting sub-
components will create a redundancy-less approach to multiple or
future familiesremember VDC, BIM, AECO and Life are all
marathonsproper pace is key to being the fastest one can be.

The Genius of Idiocy
Taking actually lazy shortcuts can be detrimental. If you have a
conversation or response to anything, along the lines of:

Oh, I dont have time to do it that way (AKA: right)
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 39 of 45

Well, then Id respond:
Oh, so you have time to do it twice?

That is what I call the genius of idiocy. A short-sightedness, a huge gap
in team interaction as well as just plain wrong in many more cases than
its cited for. What that usually says to me is there is an ego getting in
the way and its too bad since the hot model is about to suffer from it.

OK so onto speeding up your Revit experience: USE KEYBOARD
SHORTCUTS whenever possible.

Learn some, at least one new one each day.

Studies show these really do speed one up, so without further ado, here
are those keyboard shortcuts:
https:/ /app.box.com/s/ a6tu78sfb8jnlnxw3z6u
(Hot) Models | Complex Steps
The more complex these ideas may get, the simpler the descriptions
and editorializations are and thats by design.

Reason being that the complexity seems to be mostly in (some of) our
minds. It seems difficult for some to embrace different approaches,
though the benefits of a rigorous practice are many-fold and positive.

So yeah, now onto the complex steps Why complex? Well I feel these
combine enough concepts, re-thinking and they add multiple easy
and simple steps together that they are most assuredly to be
considered complex. Now whether they are or are not I do feel these
are important topics in creating truly Hot Models! So on with it

(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 40 of 45

06 | No Lines
Yeah, I said it, no lines.

I place this challenge to all
Reviteurs out there! But, if
you believe there are
good reasons for using
lines, outside of the few
obligatory ones listed
below, Id really like to
know what they are, so if
you know or think you
know please tell me.

Why NO LINES? The image
below illustrates one
reason:
Bullshit is bullshit and WILL
create mistakes, rather than remedying them!!!

(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 41 of 45

Acceptable Lines: (acceptable because they are mandatory ;)
Room Separation Lines
Area Separation Lines
Sketch Mode Lines
Adaptive Lines

Thats it IMHO.

This No Lines approach is something to shoot for; again, the closer we
come, the higher up on the AECO Landscape continuum we will find
ourselves. The challenge is thus:
If something is to be called out (pointed to) then no lines;
details included!

If Tags or Keynotes (See #7 No Text) are to be used to call something
out then they should always be components; EVEN DETAILS DO NOT
NEED LINES Line-Based-Detail-Components are perfect as a
replacement! They can Tag, Keynote, yet act much like a dumb line:
EXCEPT THEY ARE SMART!!!

So please let the brevity of this section make for a clear concept: No
Lines, unless its for something that will never (never) be called out.
07 | No Text
Similar to the No Lines approach text is extremely limited and creates
unnecessary QA/QC needs.

Let the system do the low value tasks its good at and focus on
creating better Architecture: The Promise of BIM as I see it.
If something is to be called out then no text.
If we use a tag and/or a keynote (sometimes together) we will find that
the documentation will be more consistent; even if custom notes are
needed. See the following links for a whole world about using
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 42 of 45

Keynotes powerfully, if I do say so myself there is also a Keynote
database for you to download and use.

Bootlegging Keynotes for Good, not Evil:
http://cad-vs-bim.blogspot.com/2010/08/keynotes-how-to-use-abuse-
system-how-to.html
08 | Nesting: A Componentized Approach
Consider each family constructed may be able to use a sub-
component approach, schematically outlined below
Modelling doors? Try this out:
1. Model a Panel family
a. New>Generic Model>Change category to Door, Not
shared.
2. Model a 3D Swing family
a. New>Generic Model>Change category to Door, Not
shared.
3. Nest #1 into #2
4. Model a 2D Swing angle family
5. Model a door family (that has the wall and opening cut)
6. Nest and associate #3 and #4 into #5
a. Associate all parameters
7. Shampoo, Rinse, Repeat for frames/jambs, thresholds if needed,
hardware, etc.
(Hot) Models Wanted
Page 43 of 45

The reason being
one can create
any number of
panels and frames
(one time) and use
them countless
times (thats the
efficiency pump)!

The 2D Swing being
distinct from the 2D
swing allows the 3D
panels to be
opened for
renderings, etc.
while not changing
any documentation
views!

Look at the
following images to
get a visual look at this process.

The Finished Door, including a 3D swing
clearance element for clash
protection. Detection is only one part ;)
This is the final door that gets loaded into
the project.
The panels have a Family Types Parameter
put to them, so they can be easily

changed and new panels can be added quite efficiently.
Below: the first level of nests;
The panel at left is still a nest, the only live objects is the rotation
device. In this (old) family it uses a now outmoded approach of Ref
Planes for rotation control. There are other ways to accomplish rotation
so I do suggest you look into them. The following links are a few good
places:

complexities? This is a peek at why we want to:
Model Once, Use A Lot

09 | Success Generators | Efficiency Pumps |
Constant and Lifelong Learning
This one I am leaving for the lecture itself, except to add that we should
be open to a path of lifelong learning.

As if we arent already!!!
If we are not learning we are dying.
Efficiency Pumps
Need
Desire
Action
Timing
Re-action
Honest Reality
Follow Through
Evidence Based Decision Making
There you have it, there is a lot that goes into AECO projects and the
difference between failure and success, I would argue do not take
different amounts of work but they do take different and rigorous
approaches as to HOW and WHEN that work is done.

If we apply a mindset to learn, stay agile, develop processes and work
with integrity then we should find ourselves developing into individuals,
teams and firms that are atop a peak of The AECO (Moral) Landscape.
