AUTOBIM3D 2 hour training program

Interactive one-to-one training by video conference with an instructor.

AUTOBIM3D is part of the AUTOFLUID suite. Discover AUTOBIM3D here.

Preparing 2D networks

  • Understanding the structure of AUTOFLUID conduits (single-line, piping arrays, manifold water distribution systems, double-line rectangular and circular, smoke extraction)
  • Inspecting and repairing an AUTOFLUID network section
  • Routing with precise network positioning
  • Understanding key terms: branch and propagate

Levels in AUTOFLUID

  • Setting up and selecting building levels
  • Managing levels within a floor
  • Quickly setting conduit and equipment elevation
  • Entering an elevation using the keyboard
  • Retrieving or assigning an elevation from an existing network
  • Finding an elevation relative to an architectural or network element
  • Positioning an inclined conduit
  • Setting the invert level of gravity-flow networks.

3D Modelling

  • Modelling air distribution and gravity drainage networks
  • Modelling a pipe assembly from a side view drawing
  • Modelling the building architecture
  • Connecting networks between floors
  • Inserting 3D equipment blocks from libraries into the model.

Using your 3D model

  • Create 3D snapshots and insert them into presentations.
  • Manage different parts of the 3D model for IFC or DWG export.
