The focus will be in steel structures. You will learn how to combine 3D CAD models and construction schedules to build a 4D model. You will learn how to define activity types, review the 4D CAD model, revise and update the 4D CAD model, and add detail to a 4D model. Prior knowledge of 3D CAD and scheduling with P3 or MS Project is desirable, but not an absolute must. As contractors face increasing pressure to shorten project delivery, they schedule more activities concurrently.
Consequently space becomes a critical resource during construction.
Today's scheduling tools do not explicitly represent the workspaces needed for activities. In this session, we will have a hands-on demo of 4D WorkPlanner which automates the generations of the work spaces required during the execution of construction activities in a given schedule, and the detection and analysis of spatial conflicts between activities.
