BIM Field Trip – GTP / APL Training Adding BIM Points and Getting Data to the Field Cathi Hayes – BIM Business Manager; Carl Singleton – Construction Solutions Manager Chad Randolph – Account Manager

GTP / APL Training – Robins & Morton Intro to APL - what is it, what it does Control Points - Aligning the virtual (model data) and the field (reality) Adding points to: Slab edges, openings, footings / foundations Preparing data for the field Points Point definition library (AutoMap Library) Plan underlay Reference model Utilizing data in the field w MicroSurvey Layout Pro and other field software Importing AutoMap Library (MicroSurvey Layout and Sokkia Layout only) Importing points (text files) Importing plan underlay (DXF) Importing reference model (.dwf)

Autodesk Point Layout – Where it Fits In BIM Layout Points iCON Robot 50 Export Model Creation

GTP / APL –Tools for Concrete Layout Control Points: Points that you add to your model that also exist in the field They “marry” the virtual (model) and reality (the field) Used for orientation of total station in the field Typically set by surveyors – “survey control” Often 5’ offsets from column grid

Control Points Add 2 or more in Model Can use relative coordinates in Revit or set to field coordinates Export to Field Controller Shoot 2 on site Done! Same Software – 3DD, iCON or MS50 7 Control 6 CP-15 Control Control 5 D CP-16

GTP / APL –Tools for Concrete Layout POINT TYPES: Manual Points on Families Manual Points on Entities Floors / Slabs / Footing

GTP / APL –Tools for Concrete Layout Manual Points: Points that you add to any Revit “family” or element Can add a prefix to help identify the point type Can add Description (travels to field) Can add point “role” (not important – does not travel to field)

GTP / APL –Tools for Concrete Layout Double Click to Edit Family Adding Points to Families

GTP / APL –Tools for Concrete Layout Descriptions Travel to the Field

GTP / APL –Tools for Concrete Layout Place (carefully) and lock points (or families of different sizes will not have points in correct locations)

GTP / APL –Tools for Concrete Layout Offset Points can be Added and locked (can also perform in field)
