Competencies
 

  1. Organize Linked models and shared data
    1.  Create “Unit” models per assigned layouts
    2. Describe Scheduling of building elements within linked models
    3. Employ visibility control settings for linked models
  2.  Incorporate Shared coordinates between linked models within a project
    1.  Describe a “Project Base Point” (circle with “X”)
    2. Define a project “Survey Point” (triangle with “+”)
    3. Explain the “Internal Origin”
  3. Manage project element visibility using Worksets
    1. Describe Worksets and their use
    2. Create Central Model
    3. Extrapolate Local Model with defined Worksets
  4.  Generate Shared Parameters within a Shared Parameter file
    1. Define the use of Shared Parameters
    2. Construct a Shared Parameter file
    3.  Develop Parameters within the Shared Parameter file
  5.  Incorporate Global Parameters to ensure uniformity within a Family or Project
    1. Identify how Global Parameters are used
    2. Construct Global Parameters
  6.  Incorporate Revision tools to indicate assigned redline markups that have been corrected
    1. Review Revision Clouds and their parameters
    2. Summarize Revision Tags and their parameters
    3.  Investigate Revision parameters and Graphic Overrides
    4.  Review the implementation and use of a Revision Schedule within a titleblock
  7. Construct View Templates within a Project
    1. Summarize View Templates
    2. Describe how to apply View Template properties without applying the template (apply, not assign)
    3. Apply a View Template to multiple views
    4. Comprehend Visibility/Graphics Override filters in views
  8.  Implement a Scope Box within the project
    1. Explain the purpose of a Scope Box

  9. Extrapolate an Isometric Section using a Section Box
    1. Define the purpose of a Section Box
    2. Explain ways a Section Box can be used
  10. Modify Project Browser sorting so views on sheets only appear with the sheet
    1. Identify the Project Browser
    2. Review Project Browser sorting criteria
  11. Produce a Nested Parametric Family
    1. Review the nesting process
    2. Summarize how to link/share parameters through the nesting process
  12. Produce 5 Marketing-Level 3D Renderings
    1. Produce 2 “marketing” exterior daytime renderings from typical eye-level
    2. Create 1 “marketing” exterior nighttime rendering from a typical eye-level
    3. Develop 2 “marketing” interior nighttime renderings from typical eye-level
