DRFT 1365: Piping BIM Project & Specification Setup
Effective date
September 2021
School
Trades, Technology and Design
Description
This course is designed to teach students how to use the BIM Project Manager to create and manage a project and create new 3D models. Students will also learn how to use BIM Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) tools to create drawings linked to piping specifications. Piping specifications will for the projects will be created by modifying existing pipe specifications.
