1.0 BBIM LOD 500 (AS-BUILT) MODELLING STANDARDS & GUIDELINES

1.1 GENERAL
The BBIM LOD 500 (as-built) models shall be updated from BBIM LOD 400 models.

1.2 PROJECT UNITS

All BBIM models shall be modelled in metric units.

1.3 FAMILIES, TYPES & INSTANCES

A family is a group of elements with a common set of properties, called parameters, and a related graphical
representation. Different elements belonging to a family may have different values for some or all of their
parameters, but the set of parameters is the same. These variations within the family are called family types or types.
For example, the doors category includes families and family types that you can use to create different types of
doors, with various dimensions. The components such as sanitary fittings, doors, windows and etc. can be
downloaded from Revit Component Library in the portal whenever necessary.

Family Editor shall be used to modify existing families or create new ones to meet the specific needs of a project.

2.0 AS-BUILT MODELLING GUIDELINES

2.1 MODIFYING/UPDATING MODELS FROM LOD 400 TO LOD 500
LOD 500 models are developed from the latest LOD 400 models. The actual construction month, year and week of
the elements shall be indicated using Phases in Revit. The procedures are described as follows:

2.1.1 CREATING PHASES

a) Click Manage tab Phasing panel (Phases). The Phasing dialog opens, displaying the Project Phases
tab. By default, each project has phases called Existing and New Construction.
b) Click the number box adjacent to a phase.
c) Insert a phase. To insert a phase before or after the selected phase, under Insert, click Before or After.

Note: You cannot rearrange the order of phases after you add them, so be aware of placement.
Revit names the phases sequentially as you add them. For example: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and so on.
Click the Name text box of a phase to rename it. Naming format is given as below:
<Month; first 3 letters> <Year> - <Week no.>
E.g.: JAN 2013 - WEEK 1
SEP 2013 - WEEK 3
d) Click OK.

2.1.2 APPLYING PHASE CREATED PROPERTY FOR ELEMENTS

Phase Created property identifies the phase in which the element was added to the building model. In order
to apply Phase Created property:
a) Open a view, select elements as needed.
b) On the Properties palette, for Phase Created property under Phasing, select a phase in which the
elements were constructed in actual.

2.1.3 CREATING 3D VIEW FOR A PHASE

The default 3D view is duplicated to create 3D view for a phase.
a) On the Project Browser, right-click on the Default 3D or {3D} under 3D Views, then click Duplicate
View Duplicate.
b) Right-click on the new created view and click Rename. In the Rename View dialog, specify a new name.
Naming format is the same as the phases.

2.1.4 APPLYING PHASE FILTERS

A phase filter is a rule that you apply to a view to control the display of elements based on their phase status:
new, existing, demolished, or temporary. Each Revit project contains the following default phase filters:
Show All
Show Complete
Show Demo + New
Show New
Show Previous + Demo
Show Previous + New
Show Previous Phase.

To apply phase filter to a 3D view to show progress up to a specific phase,

a) Access view properties for the 3D view.
b) On the Properties palette, for Phase Filter, select Show Complete and for Phase, select a specific phase.

To apply phase filter to a 3D view to show only constructed elements of a specific phase,
a) Access view properties for the 3D view.
b) On the Properties palette, for Phase Filter, select Show New and for Phase, select a specific phase.

Note: For Phase Filter, select None to apply no phase filter to the view. (All elements are shown in the view
without any graphic overrides.)

2.1.5 DEFINING THE GRAPHIC DISPLAY FOR PHASE FILTERS AND PHASE STATUS
You define graphic overrides to change the display of elements in views that use phase filters. To define the
graphic display for phases:
a) Click Manage tab Phasing panel (Phases).
b) In the Phasing dialog, click the Phase Filters tab.
c) For Show Complete filter, change the boxes of New and Existing from By Category to
Overridden.
d) Click the Graphic Overrides tab.
e) Click Material of Phase - New, go to Material Editor, specify the Colour of Shading under Graphics
Properties to RGB 255-128-192.
f) Click Done, then click OK.
g) Click Lines of Existing, click Clear Overrides.
h) Click OK twice.

2.1.6 DUPLICATING 3D VIEWS FOR OTHER PHASES

a) On the Project Browser, right-click on a created phase view under 3D Views, then click Duplicate View
Duplicate.
b) Right-click on the new created view and click Rename. In the Rename View dialog, specify a new name.
c) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 if you intend to create 3D view for the other phases.

3.0 MODIFYING/UPDATING MODELS ACCORDING TO AIS/EIS

Further update process is needed to capture all the changes due to Architect Instructions (AIs) and Engineer
Instructions (EIs). All the affected elements shall be highlighted in RED. In order to do that, the procedures are
described as follows:
a) In a plan view or 3D view, select affected elements. On the Properties palette, check the box of Variation
under Other.
b) Open a 3D view, click View tab Graphics (Visibility/ Graphics). (Keyboard shortcut: VV or VG)
c) Click Filters tab, then click Add.
d) In Add Filters dialogue, select Variation, then click OK.
e) Click Override under Patterns, specify the Colour as red and Pattern as Solid fill. Click OK twice.

f) Repeat Steps 2 to 5 for the other views.

All the constructed items that are not captured in LOD 500 model shall be jotted down and submitted together with
the LOD 500 models according to the project milestones.

4.0 DELETING UNUSED FAMILIES AND FAMILY TYPES

Removing all of the unused families and types usually decreases the Revit file size. Therefore, you are recommended
to use the Purge Unused tool to ''clean up'' your Revit models after you have completed them. To delete families
and types using the Purge Unused tool, the procedures are described as follows:
a) Click Manage tab Settings panel (Purge Unused). The Purge unused dialog lists all the families and family
types that you can unload from the project, including system and in-place families. By default, all unused
families are selected for purging.
b) Do either of the following:
- To purge all unused family types, click OK.
- To purge only the types that you select, click Check None, expand the families and subfamilies that
contain the types that you want to purge, select the types, and click OK.
c) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 if necessary.

5.0 SAVE OPTIONS - COMPACT FILE

Saving Revit files as compact files usually reduces the file sizes. During a normal save, Revit Structure only writes
new and changed elements to the existing files. This can cause files to become large. The compacting process
rewrites the entire file and removes obsolete parts to save space. To save a Revit file as compact file:
a) Click (Save As).
b) In the Save As dialog, click Options.
c) In the File Save Options dialog, check "Compact File".
d) Click OK.
