Introduction. 3D BIM with 4D Time and 5D Cost2:20
Explore how to convert Revit building element volumes into 4D time and 5D cost with Dynamo, and export results to project management tools for Gantt or Kanban views.
What is included in this course? Target Audience and what's Required?1:22
Access project template, Excel files, and Python code with comments, plus scripts, in a BIM course on Revit, Dynamo, 4D time, and 5D cost for engineers, architects, and project managers.

Dynamo - is Internet of everything in Construction Planning2:54
Explore how Dynamo, an open-source visual programming tool for Revit, automates repetitive data tasks, enabling internet of everything in construction planning and reducing routine work by 60 to 70 percent.
Dynamo is a Visual Programming Tool and resemble the folding of an Origami3:59
Explore how Dynamo, a visual programming tool for Revit, uses nodes and wires to create geometry and automate data with visual scripting and the Revit API and generative design.
How to reduce planning in Revit from ONE Hour to ONE Minute?!3:52
Cut planning time in Revit from an hour to a minute. Use Dynamo and Python to automate workflows and parameterize existing elements for 4D time and 5D cost BIM.

To simplify things - let's take the construction of a small Hall1:49
Simplify the construction of a small hall to illustrate how 3D data feeds 4D time and 5D cost in revit with seven families, analyzing assembly costs and times per element.
Big Source Table, Revit families and their properties2:39
Use a dynamo script and a Big Source Table to list all Revit families and their properties, and capture time and cost per unit of volume.
Dynamo. Opening a Script File2:50
Access Dynamo from the manage tab and open the first script. Connect nodes with wires to form a visual program that processes assembly steps for Revit families, left to right.
The First Dynamo Script. Export Project Data to the First Table.2:50
Explore how a three-module dynamo script exports project data from the big source table to Excel for 4d and 5d bim, selecting active view elements and generating table 1.
The First Table. Revit-Families used in the Project.2:45
Learn how Revit-families in the project are represented in a script-generated table, used in assembly, using parameters to calculate volume, area, or length with time and cost per unit.

The Second Dynamo Script. Export Project Data to the Second Table.2:08
Open the second dynamo script, use the finished 'Supplemented table 1' as input, set the assembly start date and duration, and export results to the second table in Excel.
The Second Table. Data ready to import into Microsoft Project.1:45
Table 2 compiles project processes with volumes and costs, ready for export to Microsoft Project or other management tools by matching the Excel import format.
Verification of the data.1:59
Verify data integrity in Revit with 4D time and 5D cost by cross-checking calculated foundation volumes, using IDs to select foundations, and exporting results to Microsoft Project.

Export Data to Microsoft Project.3:10
Export data to Microsoft Project from Revit by importing an Excel file, mapping tasks, and viewing a Gantt chart with total cost, IDs, and resources.
Using Kanban Boards in Microsoft Project.1:52
Learn to use kanban boards in Microsoft Project to present data beyond Gantt charts, switch to task board view, and track progress from in progress to done with color cues.

Requirements

Windows 7 or Windows 10
Need to install a trial of Autodesk Revit 2020 and Dynamo 2.0 Installed
Microsoft Excel Installed
Experience with or have an Understanding to how Revit Works

Description

This course “BIM - Project management in Revit”, will present how real-life Revit projects have used the Tool Dynamo - to calculate working hours and working costs.

⇉ You receive 2 Dynamo Scripts, Project Template (.rvt) and Excel Files.

With the help of an example, I’d like to show you how you can use project management 4D time and 5D cost in Autodesk Revit.

We will take the volume parameter of the building elements otherwise Revit-Families – then we will translate these volume parameters into 4D time and 5D cost.

The resulting data you can use in a variety of other programs for the control of the timing and the cost of construction.

The obtained data can also be exported in another process management software - Microsoft Project or other planning tools – such - scoro, asana, smartsheet, monday, hive, ganttpro or others....

Please read me:

The course is developed for the project attached to the lesson (this is a small production hall). Required Tools & OS: Windows 7 or Windows 10, Autodesk Revit 2020! In English! and Dynamo 2.0 Installed. All scripts are executed without errors, for this project and for correctly entered data, as in the video.

But if you have any problems with the script execution, please try to deal with the code in Dynamo yourself. I am ready to develop code and additional features for you only under an additional agreement.

Designers
Structural Engineers
Chief Engineers
Professionals in the AEC industry
Cost Engineers
Heads of design departments
