MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 1 – ELECTRONIC DATA COLLECTION AND INTERCHANGEPOLICYAuthorized by:CHAPTER 1ELECTRONIC DATA COLLECTION AND INTERCHANGE COMPLIANCE POLICYDavid RhodesAssistant Deputy of Aviation, Planning & Development (Date) 08/01/2011SECTION 101 - GENERAL101.1 PurposeElectronic Data Collection & Interchange (EDCI) is defined as a set of standards for controlling thecollection and transfer of electronic spatial data (such as <strong>DIA</strong> project documentation) betweenorganizations both inside and outside of <strong>DIA</strong>. The purpose for EDCI is to enable efficient capture and reuseof data generated by airport projects. Currently, design, construction and maintenance activities thatgenerate airport record data are conducted by multiple organizations both inside and outside of <strong>DIA</strong>.Each of these data collection efforts are for a single purpose; seldom reused on other projects; thereby,increasing costs and producing disparate data in independent databases, files and storage devices.Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) NextGen has identified disparate databases as reducing efficiencyand safety. The FAA has identified streamlined data systems (Netcentric Information Access) as atransformational solution for NextGen. NextGen is also part of an international effort led by the<strong>International</strong> Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to improve safety critical data at airports and itssurrounding environs. <strong>Airport</strong>s GIS (A-GIS) is an FAA-wide initiative to strengthen data quality, improveairport industry efficiencies, reduce data collection and management costs. It is a single, robust webbasedsystem for airport related data. All obligated airports, including <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>, arerequired to alter their data collection business practices to support FAA NextGen technological initiativesTo comply with the latest versions of FAA Advisory Circulars AC150-5300-16-17-18, Electronic DataCollection & Interchange (EDCI) standards are required for efficient airport owner coordination andcollaboration with multiple organizations including federal, state, municipal governments and the privatesector.101.2 Background<strong>DIA</strong> has initiated the development and implementation of its Engineering Data Systems (EDS) to helpmeet the FAA mandated <strong>Airport</strong>s GIS (A-GIS) initiative outlined above. EDS is defined as an accurate,systematic, and well-understood process for planning, identifying, controlling, and tracking an airport’sfacility configuration from its inception throughout its life-cycle (i.e., development, operation, facilitymaintenance, renewal, replacement); enabling optimum airport efficiencies.EDS consists of standards, specifications and procedures and software components used by airport staffand their consultants. Through EDS, <strong>DIA</strong> will be better equipped to comply with the new FAArequirements and realize significant benefits and cost saving. EDS takes advantage of EnterpriseGeospatial Information System (EGIS), Building Information Modeling (BIM) along with, project controlsystems such as Enterprise Content Management System (ECMS) and Contract Manager (CM) to enablestorage, organization, retrieval, manipulation, analysis, and visualization of various airport drawings/mapsand spatially referenced attribute data. A spatial-object-relational Database Management System(DBMS) integrates the major components on the backend, while a web-enabled GIS Engineering SpatialViewer (ESV) provides the user with a seamless integrated access to EDS data.<strong>12</strong>-1-1 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-1-1

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 1 – ELECTRONIC DATA COLLECTION AND INTERCHANGEPOLICYSECTION 102 - CHAPTERS RELATED TO ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE STANDARDS102.1 Chapter ListTo support FAA <strong>Airport</strong> GIS (also informally referred to as eALP) and <strong>DIA</strong>’s Engineering Data Systems(EDS), the Planning & Development Division will require all airport staff and consultants to conform to thefollowing list of documents regarding Electronic Data Collection & Interchange (EDCI) standards.Document No.Document TitleDSM <strong>12</strong> Chapter 1DSM <strong>12</strong> Chapter 2DSM <strong>12</strong> Chapter 3DSM <strong>12</strong> Chapter 4DSM <strong>12</strong> Chapter 5DSM <strong>12</strong> Chapter 6DSM <strong>12</strong> Chapter 7Electronic Data Collection & Interchange (EDCI) Compliance PolicyCADD Procedures ManualGIS Data StandardsBIM Data StandardsSubsurface Utilities Data StandardsMetadata StandardsCADD/GIS Data Submittal RequirementsSECTION 103 - REFERENCE DOCUMENTSAC150/5300-16 Geodetic Control: This FAA Advisory Circular provides the standards for geodetic controlrequired of all airport surveys. Accurate geodetic control is required to tie each airport in the NAS to theNational Spatial Reference System (NSRS) and is accomplished through a direct tie to the airport’sPrimary <strong>Airport</strong> Control Point (PAC) and Secondary <strong>Airport</strong> Control Points (SACS). To meet FederalAviation Administration (FAA) spatial data requirement that all Air Operations Area airport data be tied tothe NSRS using the following datum: Horizontal Control North American Datum of 1983 (NSRS 2007),Vertical Control North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (GRS 80), and Geoid Model GEOID 03. Allsurveyed data provided to the FAA must meet accuracy and resolution requirements for airport featuresat the 95 percent confidence level. Current <strong>DIA</strong> Local Coordinate System (<strong>DIA</strong> GRID) does not tieproperly to the NSRS and cannot provide accuracy requirements to meet FAA criteria for airport spatialdata. A new <strong>DIA</strong> Local Coordinate System (<strong>DIA</strong> LDP) will replace the current system for all airport spatialdata beginning 08/01/2011. <strong>DIA</strong> Low Distortion Projection (LDP) meets FAA criteria for airport spatialstandards and conforms to methodology developed by David Minkle, National Geodetic Survey Advisorfor Arizona.AC150/5300-17 Imagery: This FAA Advisory Circular provides specifications for airport imageryacquisition and how to submit the imagery for review and approval. Many tasks require imagery to beincluded in specific airport configuration changes (new construction). These can include a new runway,new or revised approach procedures and revised airport obstruction charts to include a few examples.Imagery allows safety critical data to be independently verified and is essential for the identification ofairport features.AC150/5300-18 GIS Standards: Collection of airport data through field and post processingmethodologies are specified in this FAA Advisory Circular. The data model specifies the followingGeographical Information System (GIS) feature groups: Airfield, Airspace, Cadastral, Environmental,Geospatial, Man Made Structures, Navigational Aids, Seaplane, Security, Surface Transportation, andUtilities. The model incorporates safety critical data including runway thresholds, navigational aids aswell as other airport features including runways, taxiways, aprons, buildings, roadways, cadastral, landuses,and utilities. The single GIS airport database will serve numerous needs and therefore requires avery robust set of data features and associated attributes. As a result, significant time and effort isrequired to collect and input the metadata (data about data). The power of an airport GIS database isderived from the metadata. The long term application of airport GIS data collection methodology willreduce survey costs, errors, and missing data.<strong>12</strong>-1-4 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-1-4


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 1 – ELECTRONIC DATA COLLECTION AND INTERCHANGEPOLICYFederal Aviation Administration Regulatory Requirement for Local Compliance: Under the <strong>Airport</strong>Improvement Program (AIP), The City and County of <strong>Denver</strong> has an obligation to comply with FAAstandards and policies concerning AC150/5300-16, 17 and 18. In accepting over $711 million in AIPfunds since 1988, the City and County of <strong>Denver</strong> has agreed to specific Federal obligations, including theobligation to "carry out the project in accordance with policies, standards, and specifications approved bythe Secretary including but not limited to the Advisory Circulars" (see AIP Grant Assurance No. 34).Under Federal law, this obligation runs in perpetuity since the City and County of <strong>Denver</strong> acquired landwith Federal funds. Failure to comply with Federal grant assurances may result in the FAA issuing anorder terminating eligibility for grants pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47106(e) and 7111(d), an order suspendingthe payment of grant funds, an order withholding approval of any new application to impose a PassengerFacility Charge pursuant to section 1<strong>12</strong> of the Federal Aviation Administration Act of 1994, 49 U.S.C.47111(e), or any other compliance order issued by the Administrator to carry out the provisions of theActs, including possible repayment of prior Federal grant money.END OF CHAPTER 1<strong>12</strong>-1-5 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-1-5

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 2 – CADD PROCEDURES MANUAL201.3 FAA AGIS Features and Associated LayersThe following provides the list of layers for each FAA feature class (e.g., Airfield Light, Flood Zone, etc.)within each feature group (e.g., Airfield, Environmental, etc.). The FAA’s database is designed torecognize certain feature types and layer names based on the information required in AC 150/5300-18B.While several feature classes have multiple layers used within the CADD platform, the FAA’s AGISdatabase only recognizes one layer per feature class. Therefore, each layer within a feature class mustbe converted to a single layer name representing the feature class. For example, all the layers used foran Airfield Light in design drawings to provide the detail necessary (e.g., “E-LITE-APRC”, “E-LITE-OBST”,etc.) will be converted to a single layer named “AirfieldLight”. Refer to AC 150/5300-18B for additionalinformation.The following abbreviations are used in the FAA layer list:Feature Group /Feature Class 3D 3D Line FT Feature Type L Line P Point PG PolygonTable 206.3 – FAA AGIS Feature and Associated Layers NCS LayersFTLayer NameOld<strong>DIA</strong>LayerDescriptionAirfieldAircraft Gate Stand P C-APRN-ACPK 93 Aircraft Parking ZoneAircraftNon-Movement AreaL C-AFLD-NMOV 76 Airfield Non-Movement AreaL C-APRN-NMOV 76 Apron Non-Movement AreaAir Operations Area PG C-AFLD-AOA- 76 Air Operations Area (AOA)Airfield Light P E-LITE-APRC 86-91 Approach LightsP E-LITE-DIST- 86-91 Distance/Arresting Gear Markers and LightsP E-LITE-LANE- 86-91 Hoverlane, Taxilane, Helipad LightsP E-LITE-OBST- 86-91 Obstruction LightsP E-LITE-RUNW-CNTR 86-91 Runway <strong>Center</strong>line LightsP E-LITE-RUNW-DTGS 86-91 Runway Distance-To-Go LightsP E-LITE-RUNW-EDGE 86-91 Runway Edge LightsP E-LITE-RUNW-GARD 86-91 Runway Guard LightsP E-LITE-RUNW-TDZN 86-91 Runway Touchdown Zone LightsP E-LITE-SIGN- 86-91 Guidance SignsP E-LITE-TAXI-CNTR 86-91 Taxiway <strong>Center</strong>line LightsP E-LITE-TAXI-EDGE 86-91 Taxiway Edge LightsP E-LITE-THRS- 86-91 Threshold LightsP V-LITE-APRC- 86-91 Approach LightsP V-LITE-LANE- 86-91 Hoverlane, Taxilane, Helipad LightsP V-LITE-OBST- 86-91 Obstruction LightsP V-LITE-RUNW- 86-91 Runway Lighting<strong>12</strong>-2-32 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-32

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 2 – CADD MANUALSECTION 201 CADD/ AutoCAD® Civil 3D® Standards201.1 Introduction201.1.1 Target AudienceThis document is targeted at anyone working on authoring CADD/Civil 3D® models for <strong>Denver</strong><strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> (<strong>DIA</strong>). This includes both <strong>DIA</strong> staff as well as external service providers. The formatof this document assumes the reader has a base knowledge of CADD, Civil 3D® and the workflows andterms common to the industry, and based upon the design standards committee review.201.1.2 <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>’s Vision<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> (<strong>DIA</strong>) has chosen AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software, a dynamic, model centricbased design software, as the Building Information Modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering designand documentation. This change affects the traditional processes and deliverables for civil engineering aswell as planning, architecture, construction and facilities management.As part of the integration of BIM at <strong>DIA</strong>, the immediate goal is to take advantage of the information modelcreated during design, construction and commissioning to enhance and feed into existing and futurefacilities maintenance and asset management systems.To achieve this first goal, <strong>DIA</strong> has adopted these CADD/Civil 3D®/BIM requirements. These requirementsapply to <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Projects advertised on or after July 1, 2010Requirements established here are baseline requirements for all BIM projects at <strong>DIA</strong>. Any of theserequirements may be superseded by Project Contract or the project’s specific BIM Project Execution Plan(BPXP).201.1.3 PurposeThis document establishes the procedures for CADD/Civil 3D® submittals to <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>(<strong>DIA</strong>) and organization of CADD/Civil 3D® data within <strong>DIA</strong>. The procedures are necessary to ensureefficient Electronic Data Exchange (EDI) between <strong>DIA</strong> and its consultants, contractors, and local, state,and federal government agencies, including the City & County of <strong>Denver</strong> (CCD), Colorado Department ofTransportation (CDOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transportation Security Administration(TSA), and law enforcement agencies.The procedures are designed to enforce commonality amongst data required throughout the life cycle of<strong>DIA</strong>’s airport facilities as well as ensure the compatibility of CADD/Civil 3D® data with the FAA’s <strong>Airport</strong>Geographic Information Systems (AGIS) database, GIS standards, and Metadata standards. CADD/Civil3D® submittals from consultants are the basis of most Engineering/GIS data referenced by the <strong>DIA</strong>.These procedures will assist <strong>DIA</strong> in receiving and producing data that conforms to FAA Advisory Circular(AC) 150/5300/18b and best practices in planning/design/construction. By organizing data for betteraccessibility and maintainability, these CADD/Civil 3D® procedures are critical to supporting <strong>DIA</strong>’sinfrastructure throughout its life cycle.201.1.4 ScopeThis document provides procedures for the installation and use of the <strong>DIA</strong> CADD template as well asmanagement of files, naming conventions, layers, colors, linetypes, and other CADD related properties.The <strong>DIA</strong> CADD procedures are based on the National CAD Standards (NCS) Version 4, AC 150/5300-18B, and <strong>DIA</strong>’s Design Standards Manual (revised 20<strong>12</strong>). This document and associated template areintended to provide <strong>DIA</strong> consultants the baseline for creation of design drawings to be submitted to <strong>DIA</strong>.The consultant shall follow the procedures provided in this manual and utilize the layering format in the<strong>DIA</strong> CADD/Civil 3D® template.A comprehensive set of layers is included in the CADD/Civil 3D® template to represent features typicalfor <strong>Airport</strong> projects and include layers provided in the NCS, FAA AC 150/5300-18B, and <strong>DIA</strong> legacystandards. The layers provided in the CADD/Civil 3D® template will be used to define objects and otherdata required by the FAA as well as additional layers typically used for design purposes. It is theresponsibility of the Consultant/User to choose the appropriate layers and ensure that all data required bythe FAA is submitted to the <strong>DIA</strong> in the proper format.<strong>12</strong>-2-4 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-4

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 2 – CADD MANUALSECTION 202 CADD Management and Organization202.1 File Management<strong>DIA</strong> uses a standard file format, naming, and directory structure associated with the type of informationcontained within specific files to ensure consistency in file management, file transfer, and file security.202.2 File Type DefinitionsThe file types discussed in this section are used for developing project data. Configuration files such asDrawing Templates are discussed in the Workstation Configuration section.202.2.1 Model FilesA model file contains the physical components of a site either existing or proposed (e.g., roads, drainagestructures, terrain models, buildings, etc.). Model files are drawn at full scale and typically representplans, profiles, sections, etc. A model file can contain both 2d and 3d objects. Model files can begenerated either by adding AutoCAD or Civil 3d objects or from BIM model extractions.202.2.2 Design FilesDesign Files are Model Files where the majority of design activity takes place.202.2.3 Data Reference FilesData Reference Files (DREFs) are Model Files containing the original AEC objects produced by Civil 3dfor the purpose of sharing their data across multiple Design Files. Data Shortcuts are the Civil 3dmechanisms utilized to share this data. Creating a Reference is the action taken to establish the linkbetween the host and the source files for a particular AEC object.202.2.4 Reference FilesReference Files are Model Files. Reference Files can be DWG, DGN, PDF, DWF, and all image fileformats supported by Civil 3d. Reference files usually provide background information for a model file ordesign information for a sheet file. DWG files that are referenced into other DWG files are often referredto as Xrefs. Model files can be referenced (Xref'd) into Sheet files. Sheet files are never used as Xrefs.The XREF type should always be "Overlay"202.2.5 Sheet FilesA sheet file is synonymous with a plotted CAD drawing file. A sheet file is a selected view or portion ofreferenced model file(s) within a border sheet introduction.202.3 Proposing RevisionsFor any proposed revisions to this document, please contact:<strong>12</strong>-2-7 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-7

In certain instances,layers were either added or revised to better correspond with NCS guidelines, provide the level of detailtypical for design drawings, and/or minimize uncertainty when determining what data is required by theFAA.The FAA layers are arranged similarly to the NCS Layers in that the layers are filtered according to theFAA feature group. Each feature group filter (e.g., Airfield) contains several additional filters for theappropriate feature class (e.g., Airfield Light) within the group.As shown in Figure 203.6-2, each feature class filter contains the layers used to represent the airportfeatures associated with the class. The intent is to familiarize the User with the new FAA AGIS standards.When preparing a drawing for submittal to the FAA, objects on layers within each feature class will beconverted to the FAA AGIS layer for that class, which is typically the feature class name.<strong>12</strong>-2-28 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-28

See DesignStandards Manual <strong>12</strong> Chapter 7 CADD-GIS Data Submittal Requirements for information regarding thedata submittal process.206.1 Basic Drawing Guidelines206.1.1 OverviewEvery drawing should be in the world UCS with the origin at 0,0. Use the same coordinate system as thebasemap provided by Survey. It is important to maintain an accurate coordinate system in order to allowthe exchange of design information among the project team and allow information from different designgroups to be displayed together easily. Each design drawing (model file) should be in model space (withnothing in paper space) and should have no other drawing files externally referenced (XREF’d) into it. Asyou are working on your drawing, you will have the base and other design drawings externally referencedduring your drawing session, but when you are complete, it is important to unload but not detach allXREFs. The Basic Drawing Guidelines will cover these topics and other best practices to follow duringdrawing development.206.1.2 Standard Text and Dimension StylesThe <strong>DIA</strong> uses AutoCAD default text and dimension styles. All text shall be UPPERCASE and easilyreadable on half-size prints. Plotted text heights are provided in table below.<strong>12</strong>-2-31 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-31

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 2 – CADD MANUALSECTION 207 Plan ProductionThe Plan Production techniques introduced herein are considered best practices for automatingprocesses for producing nearly complete sheets in very few steps. Training is strongly recommended toacquire skills needed to utilized these tools effectively.207.1 OverviewPlan Production is the process of creating individual Sheets for inclusion in a plan set. The end result ofseveral possible Plan Production processes is a set of plans either plotted on paper or contained in a pdffile.The Plan Production process can be as simple as creating Layouts manually and using the PUBLISHcommand to plot drawings. Another method employing a little more automation involves creating layouts,creating a Sheet Set and manually adding layouts. Using Sheet Set Manager you can batch plotdrawings. You can use plain AutoCAD for both these techniques.The most automated technique uses the Plan Production Tools found in Civil 3d. You can create PlanSheets, Plan and Profile Sheets, or Section Sheets using Civil 3d's Plan Production Tools. The <strong>DIA</strong>Horizontal CAD Standard includes drawing templates (.DWT) and a Sheet Set data file (.DST) ready touse with the Plan Production Tools.207.2 Plan Only, Plan/Profile, and Profile Only SheetsThe Plan Production Tools begin by creating View Frames along an Alignment.The Create View Frames wizard requires you to select a template file that contains a pre-configuredlayout having a scaled viewport set to Plan as the Viewport Type. A View Frame Group is created whenthe Create View Frames wizard is completed. The Create Sheets command launches another wizarddesigned to produce a layout for each View Frame.<strong>12</strong>-2-33 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-33


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 2 – CADD MANUAL207.3 Section SheetsSimilar to the Create Sheets command the Create Section Sheets command starts a wizard that uses theSection Sample Line Group and other settings to create layouts that place Sections Views in scaledviewports.207.4 Sheet Set ManagerWith the Sheet Set Manager, you can create “links” to drawings (Layout Tabs) called sheets. Sheets canbe organized under logical headings called subsets, can display thumbnail images and descriptions, andcan be used to open the drawings. There is much more to Sheet Sets that can be learned in a short timeby working through some tutorials or enrolling in a training class.<strong>12</strong>-2-34 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-34

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 2 – CADD MANUALSECTION 2010 CIVIL 3D GUIDELINES2010.1 Civil 3d Best Practices2010.1.1 Miscellaneous In Profile Views do not use a clipped grid. For Pipes in Profiles use the boundary option rather than the model option Label Styles - create a No Label style to give you the option of turning off labels without deletingthe label For Point Label Styles put all text components in a single component instead of separatecomponents.2010.1.2 Surfaces TINs are more memory intensive than DEM Use external ASCII point files rather than point objects in the drawing Create a surface snapshot after sampling the point file. The file size increases but the rebuildtimes improve. Adding contour data - Understand the settings for Minimizing Flat Areas Avoid Surface Editing - filling gaps and adding points is much faster than swapping edges. Plusyou have no evidence for what has been altered. Minimize points used to create surfaces Surface Simplification is an Editing tool which decimates points without affecting accuracy Create a grid surface if you do not need the precision of a TIN Surface. You can grid a surfaceby exporting it to a DEM. Display of triangles and contours can slow down the display. Minimize displayed data whenappropriate Use an outer boundary to reduce data processed in the surface. Use Data Clipping instead of Masking the surface Cropped Surfaces are linked to a parent surface but process a smaller portion of the data Query GIS Data to create a surface2010.1.3 Corridor Models In Subassembly styles use solid fills instead of hatch patterns. Turn off Rebuild Automatic Isolate Regions so you are not processing the entire corridor Reduce Cross Sections in the corridor drawing during preliminary design Xref the corridor into a separate drawing and sample sections in that drawing. Use a datashortcut for the alignment.2010.2 AutoCAD Best Practices Layoutregenctl is best set to 1 Proxy Graphics should be turned off until you are ready to share your drawing with other non-civil3d users Turn off Tool Tips and Event Viewer if not needed2010.2.1 Data Management Methods Using 1 drawing is best suited for small projects. Using Data Shortcuts is best for sharing data across multiple drawings. Using Data Management Server applies the same principals as Data Shortcuts but has therequirement of a Server Component that may be undesirable for teams without adequate ITsupport.<strong>12</strong>-2-42 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-42

The FAA has established a system of feature classesrepresenting the various areas of an airport (Airfield, Airspace, Man Made Structure, etc.) and featuretypes representing elements within each feature class. Each object for each feature type is representedby a point, line, or polygon. GIS compatible drawings submitted to the <strong>DIA</strong> must conform to the geometricrequirements and topological integrity required for GIS compatibility and established by Design StandardsManual <strong>12</strong> Chapter 3 GIS Data Standards.2011.2 Terms and DefinitionsAttributes - Tabular data associated with graphical objects such as points, link, or polygons.Layer - in GIS a layer refers to a data layer comprised of either points, links, or polygons.Point - xyz location with a unique identifier as an attribute.Link - a linear object defined by points at the beginning coordinate and ending coordinate of the line.Polygon - a collection of links forming a closed 2d area.AutoCAD Primitives - native AutoCAD object including point, line, polyline, circle, block insert, text, mtextAutoCAD Civil 3d AEC Objects - Custom objects created by Civil 3d commands in the form of Points,alignments, Surfaces, Pipe Networks, Corridor Models and more.Object Data - Object data is attribute data that is attached to individual objects and stored in tables in thedrawing.2011.3 AutoCAD Primitives to GISUse the FAA Object Data Table as a starting point.2011.3.1 Creating a New DrawingThe FAA provides the specification for an <strong>Airport</strong>s GIS compliant deliverable. Before you can begin theprocess of converting AutoCAD objects to fully attributed GIS data you must prepare the properenvironment.2011.3.1.1 Source FilesThe FAA provides a drawing file (AC_150_5300-18B_ACAD2007_TEMPLATE_040<strong>12</strong>011.dwg) thatcontains the Object Data Table definitions.Visit this FAA web site and download the file.https://airports-gis.faa.gov/public/data/FeatureClass_Templates/AC_150_5300-18B_ACAD2007_TEMPLATE_040<strong>12</strong>011.zipFind information about the FAA <strong>Airport</strong>s GIS here. https://airports-gis.faa.gov/public/surveyorsIntro.html2011.3.1.2 SetupThe AC_150_5300-18B_ACAD2007_TEMPLATE_040<strong>12</strong>011.dwg file has the LL83 coordinate systemassigned.

This is essential when you need accurate and complete maps suitable for defining topologies orperforming map analyses. GIS is very strict on having correct geometry. As a best practice use theDrawing Cleanup Tools to check and correct drafting errors. Following the rules of geometry forTopologies will give you the best results.You can perform the following cleanup actions:•delete duplicate objects•erase short objects•break crossing objects•extend undershoots•extend to apparent intersections•snap clustered nodes•dissolve pseudo nodes•erase dangling objects (overshoots)•simplify objects•delete zero-length objects•weed 3D polyline vertices<strong>12</strong>-2-48 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-2-48

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 3 – GIS DATA STANDARDCHAPTER 3GIS DATA STANDARDSECTION 301 - GENERAL301.1 PurposeThis Technical document establishes the data standard for Geographic Information System (GIS) datasubmittals to <strong>DIA</strong> and for the organization of GIS data within <strong>DIA</strong>. This standard is necessary toensure efficient Electronic Data Exchange (EDI) between <strong>DIA</strong> and its consultants, contractors, andlocal, state, and federal government agencies. This includes city, police, state DOT, FAA, and TSAagencies. This standard is designed to enforce commonality amongst data required throughout thelifecycle of <strong>DIA</strong>’s airport facilities. The GIS data, addressed herein, will be incorporated into <strong>DIA</strong>’S GISrepository containing spatial and attribute data. By organizing data for better accessibility andmaintainability, these GIS data standards are critical to supporting an airport’s infrastructure throughoutits lifecycle.SECTION 302 - REQUIREMENTSThis section addresses the requirements for submitting GIS data to <strong>DIA</strong>, GIS data organization, andthe application of required and accepted standards. <strong>DIA</strong> currently receives GIS data for a variety ofpurposes. Periodic submission of GIS updates to the electronic <strong>Airport</strong> Layout Plan (eALP) is a criticalrequirement. GIS updates to <strong>DIA</strong> and other airports must comply with GIS data requirements set forthby the FAA. Other airport GIS applications involve data sets such as, pavement management andlocation services. For all GIS applications not governed by AC 150 5300-18, <strong>DIA</strong> requires GISsubmittals to conform to the GIS data standard specified by <strong>DIA</strong>/CCD. Both standards are included inthis <strong>DIA</strong> standard (see Appendix A).While the FAA has comprehensive GIS standards, they do not cover all features found at a largeairport. Some GIS data sets may be required by <strong>DIA</strong> that are not covered by the FAA or the <strong>DIA</strong>/CCDstandard. In this case, <strong>DIA</strong> provides a GIS database structure for a generic feature class that is basedon the <strong>DIA</strong>/CCD data model, where applicable.The Data organization for this standard is based upon the feature classes provided by the FAA GISdata standard. FAA feature classes focus on airside infrastructure required for safe and efficientaviation operations. They do not go into great detail on landside infrastructure, such as GIS featureclasses for passenger operations and landside transportation. For airport features not covered by theFAA GIS Standard, <strong>DIA</strong> will defer to the <strong>DIA</strong>/CCD data standard.As mentioned above, <strong>DIA</strong> is required to comply with the FAA GIS standard for purposes of the periodicsubmission of the electronic <strong>Airport</strong> Layout Plan (ALP). The FAA standards are described in thefollowing advisory circulars (see the following Section 2.1 for further details):AC 150/5300-16A - General Guidance And Specifications For Submission Of AeronauticalSurveys To NGS: Establishment of Geodetic Control and Submission to the National GeodeticSurveyAC 150/5300-17B – General Guidance And Specifications For Aeronautical Survey <strong>Airport</strong>Imagery Acquisition And Submission To The National Geodetic SurveyAC 150/5300-18B - General Guidance And Specifications For Submission Of AeronauticalSurveys To NGS: Field Data Collection And Geographic Information System (GIS) Standards302.1 FAA GIS Standards for <strong>Airport</strong>sIn 2007, FAA started publishing GIS standards for airports in the AC 150/5300 series. The standardswere developed in conjunction with the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). These standards must befollowed by <strong>DIA</strong> and other U.S. airports with regard to the periodic submission of the eALP. The specific<strong>12</strong>-3-1 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-3-1


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 3 – GIS DATA STANDARDrelevant standard documents released by the FAA, in the form of advisory circulars (ACs), are FAA AC150/5300-16, FAA AC 150/5300-17, and FAA AC 150/5300-18.FAA AC 150/5300-16 describes the establishment of survey control for airports requiring GIS.This standard specifies geodetic control of horizontal and vertical survey controls in compliancewith national geodetic standards.FAA AC 150/5300-17 describes the process airports and their contractors must follow in theacquisition of airport imagery, specifically aerial orthophotography.FAA AC 150/5300-18 provides an exact specification for the collection of airport GIS data andthe database schema for maintenance of this data in a geodatabase.302.2 Organization of Features in FAA StandardsThe FAA GIS Standard organizes Features into 10 high level Feature Classes.

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEWSECTION 401.2 Organizational BIM Strategy for <strong>DIA</strong>This Overview provides a summary of the overall strategy of BIM integration at <strong>DIA</strong>. It is to be used as areference for the BIM Project Execution Plan (BPXP),BIM Manual and as a reference document for theinternal departments involved in the transition and use of BIM at <strong>DIA</strong>.Today, <strong>DIA</strong> knows the transition from 2D CAD to BIM is required for all new projects. There is no doubtit's the future for <strong>DIA</strong> and property owners worldwide. There is also no doubt it's not a simple and easytransition. At <strong>DIA</strong>, the transition to BIM is not just a change of CAD technology but more importantly, abusiness decision made by the senior executives, knowing full well the impact on all levels of <strong>DIA</strong> buildingprojects, from design, documentation and construction, to operations and maintenance. BIM providesintegration and coordination amongst project stakeholders throughout all aspects of design, constructionand occupation. For <strong>DIA</strong>, this process is called Full BIM Lifecycle Management.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-3 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-3


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEWThe following sections illustrate the fundamental reasons why <strong>DIA</strong> is requiring BIM.401.2.1 2D Traditional CAD Documents vs. BIM DatabaseTo help clarify the differences between BIM and traditional 2D computer aided design (CAD), let'scompare a series of MS Word documents vs. an SQL/Oracle database. Two MS Word documents bynature are not connected in any way and require the user to manually create a limited and complicatedconnection between them. However, two reports in an SQL or Oracle database allow the user to view thesame data in two different formats. If the user changes the data in either report, both reports updateinstantly.Traditional 2D CAD works much like the Word document: a plan drawing is a separate and uniquedocument that does not inherently connect with other plan documents, elevations or section drawings. If adesign change is made in a plan view, the user must use their memory to manually “update” the otherplans, sections and elevations.A true BIM is a graphic database where the “views” of the project model are the “reports” of the database.Hence all plan views, section views, elevations, callouts, perspectives, even schedules, are “live reports”within a single project. Therefore, when a change is made in a plan view, that change is instantly updatedin all other views, whether they are graphical or tabular, across the entire project.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-4 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-4


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEW401.2.2 <strong>DIA</strong>’s BIM Provides Graphical CoordinationThe essence of BIM is to provide a graphical coordinated document set of all trades of a building. BIMprovides a three dimensional graphical database that allows the dramatic coordination of document sets,clash detection of multiple trades and phasing the project for construction logistics (all of which were notprovided by traditional 2D CAD).<strong>DIA</strong> recognizes they can no longer afford non-coordinated document sets. Like <strong>DIA</strong>, owners, developersand government institutions across the US are demanding their projects be done in BIM for thisfundamental reason. <strong>DIA</strong>’s preferred BIM software programs to manage the graphical data are producedby Autodesk. Depending on the trade, <strong>DIA</strong> requires all graphical models to be modeled using either RevitArchitecture, Revit Structure, Revit MEP or Civil 3D.Source: McGraw Hill Construction 2009<strong>12</strong>-4.1-5 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-5


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEW401.2.3 <strong>DIA</strong>’s BIM Provides Data CoordinationThe “I” for “Information” in BIM is what sets BIM apart from 2D CAD. The components within a BIM arethemselves intelligent. For example, a BIM HVAC unit has imbedded data fields (called “parameters”) thatcan control its size, air flow, cost, maintenance schedule and O+M data. These components are minidatabases within the larger graphical database.Each <strong>DIA</strong> building will include a database linked to the graphic models. <strong>DIA</strong> will manage all the assetcomponents and their parameter data outside the graphical database. This allows bidirectional flow ofparameter data to and from the Revit and Civil 3D models. Since the bulk of the parameter data residesoutside the graphic model within a Sequal Database, the graphical models are smaller in size and easierto maintain.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-6 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-6


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEW401.2.4 <strong>DIA</strong>’s BIM Bidirectionally Links to FM/GIS<strong>DIA</strong>’s past 2D CAD setup had no link between the 2D CAD documents and the facility management andmaintenance (FM) programs, like Maximo, or the Graphic Information System (GIS) programs, like ESRI’sArcGIS. Thus, when work order changes occurred at the existing facility, there was no mechanism torelay those changes back into the 2D CAD files. Graphical programs like Revit and Civil 3D do not allow abidirectional link with FM and GIS programs.However, <strong>DIA</strong> does require that data be bidirectionally linked to Maximo and ESRI. The format of the dataincludes the X,Y,Z real world coordinate locations of each room corner (inside and outside the building),the components inside those rooms and the imbedded parameters within the rooms and components.<strong>DIA</strong>’s true definition of BIM links the graphical Revit data and the parameter data to the facilitymaintenance FM & GIS programs allowing BIM to provide Full Lifecycle Management of the facility byacting as a translator to <strong>DIA</strong> FM and GIS data.This new accessibility to the data of the building allows the FM and GIS programs to be more productivewith the overall management and preventive maintenance of the facility. This in turn allows exposure toother management benefits including improvement of building sustainability, schedulable maintenanceand overall predictable behavior of the facility.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-7 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-7


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEWSECTION 401.3<strong>DIA</strong> BIM Vision401.3.1 <strong>DIA</strong>’s BIM GoalThe goal of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> is to integrate BIM as a process and deliverable into the <strong>DIA</strong>organizational and planning structure and take advantage of the data information created during designand construction to enhance and feed into existing and future facilities/operations processes.401.3.2 <strong>DIA</strong> Collaboration Guide DocumentsThe <strong>DIA</strong> Collaboration Guide is a set of documents provided to aid in the creation, organization anddelivery of BIM projects. All of the documents listed below are part of the guide. This package should beprovided to any project managers and external service providers working on BIM projects for <strong>DIA</strong>.DSM <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.1DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.2DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.4TitleBIM OverviewBIM RequirementsBIM Project Execution Plan(see full document list below)BIM Manual401.3.3 BIM Enhances VisionMoving forward toward a more integrated approach to providing <strong>DIA</strong> Services and Operations, BIM is amore powerful platform to take advantage of supplied As-Built Construction Record models and movethat data into the FM and GIS.401.3.4 BIM Alters VisionIntegrating BIM from cradle to grave into the <strong>DIA</strong> Planning, Design, Construction, Maintenance andOperations departments will change the current methods, standards and processes as well as createnew, homogeneous processes to the benefit of all departments. This is an iterative process that willrequire a dynamic perspective be maintained by management to institute both strategic and tacticalplanning in order to stay on par with frequent and rapid technological advances. As building informationmodeling technology advances, <strong>DIA</strong> will look forward to integrating those changes into existing systemsand processes. This change is part of adapting a new technology and will be accounted for in futurevision statements at <strong>DIA</strong>.401.3.5 BIM is Data, not FilesBecause of the overview nature of this document, BIM has many meanings. BIM can refer to a product ofa process (Model) or to the process itself (Modeling) and the Maintenance of the facility.Examples: Even a simple schematic design will have both at least a single Revit file as well as a Database. TheDatabase will also be considered to be a part of the Building Information Model and not identifiedseparately in this document. A Coordination Model used to illustrate 4D progression of a project may include the Revit model files,the database as well as a Navisworks or Synchro database.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-8 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-8


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEW401.3.6 Traditional CAD Delivery Process vs. BIM Process vs. <strong>DIA</strong>BPXPWhen a larger view of the entire process is considered, there are clear systemic issues which need to beaddressed. With Traditional CAD delivery, each phase of Documentation, Construction and O/M areseparated from each other allowing each team to proceed in a relatively isolated environment passingonly the required product on to the next process and team.When the next phase is started, the data received may or may not be in a format that is usable to theprocesses internal to that phase. The data is then recreated in formats that are useful to the specificphase/team.BIM can store the data needed by the processes of each phase, increasing efficiency of all teams andeliminating the errors inherent in recreating data for specific processes.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-9 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-9


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEWCertainly BIM can be used to develop deliverables in the traditional sense, with each team creating thedata they need to perform their analysis and other processes.However, this methodology does not take advantage of the main benefit of BIM: the reuse andconsistency of data from one phase/team to the next.In order for all teams to be able to use the BIM data in their processes, <strong>DIA</strong> requires that all teams mustrealize/agree the model will be used downstream for their processes. What they produce and how theyproduce it will impact the rest of the life of the model, and all downstream processes. This agreementtakes the form of <strong>DIA</strong>’s BIM Project Execution Plan.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-10 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-10


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEWSECTION 401.4<strong>DIA</strong> BIM Project Execution Plan401.4.1 What is the BPXP?The BIM Project Execution Plan (BPXP) is an agreement by all parties to share in the development anduse of a common Building Information Model for a specific project. It is a document intended to help planthe ownership and scope of the models involved in preparing a BIM project for <strong>DIA</strong>. <strong>DIA</strong> requires a BIMPXP be developed to provide a master information/data management plan including assignment of rolesand responsibilities for model creation and data integration which include design professionals of all teammembers.Typically included in this plan are records of the following items, agreed by consensus of all teamsinvolved in the project:1) General Project Informationa) Who is involved in this project?b) Contract type / Delivery methodc) Milestones of the project2) General File Issuesa) Naming conventions (how are the files to be named?)b) How files are transferred between partiesThese items are typical for most project agreements, however, the PXP adds in several items that helpidentify qualities of the project unique to BIM:3) Level Of Detail: How much and what detail will be included at each milestone?4) Authorship: Who is creating that level of detail at each milestone?5) BIM Uses: How does the project team want to use the BIM Model for each milestone?Each of these last three items are included in a PXP specifically because they help identify common BIMproject collaboration issues before they happen.401.4.2 BPXP Submission ScheduleThe Project BIM Team shall submit a completed BIM Project Execution Plan (BPXP) to <strong>DIA</strong> within thirty(30) days of contract execution. This BIM Project Execution Plan shall identify the entire Project BIMTeam including all consulting engineers and any specialty consultants. The BPXP should be considered aliving document and shall be continually developed and refined throughout the project developmentlifecycle.Upon receipt of the BIM Project Execution Plan, <strong>DIA</strong> will have fourteen (14) days to review and approvethe plan. If the BPXP is rejected by <strong>DIA</strong>, the Project BIM team has fourteen (14) days to resubmit. <strong>DIA</strong>has fourteen (14) days to review the resubmitted plan. An approved plan must be in place within sixty (60)days unless otherwise noted in contract.In those projects where construction information is available during the design phase (using the DB, IPDor other project execution strategies), the BPXP shall address both design and construction activities.For project delivery strategies where the contractor is not part of the original Project BIM Team, the BPXPalso should include roles and responsibilities of the contractor(s) even if that party has not yet beenidentified. If the contractor is not part of the original Project BIM Team defined by the BIM ProjectExecution Plan, the Contractor shall review the BIM Project Execution Plan with the Project BIM Teamand submit any Addendums within thirty (30) days of contract award. The Project BIM Team and <strong>DIA</strong> willreview and approve of any Addendum within fourteen (14) days of submittal. An approved plan must be inplace within sixty (60) days unless otherwise noted in contract.

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEW401.4.3 <strong>DIA</strong>BPXP Document ListThe <strong>DIA</strong>BPXP is not a single document, rather a set of documents provided to aid in the creation,organization and delivery of BIM projects. This set documents is based on the Penn State / CIC BIMProject Execution Plan. This set of documents serves two main purposes for any <strong>DIA</strong> project: Provides a group of tools to facilitate a group consensus/decision making process. Provides a format to record the process and final decisions made during that process.While some of the BIM Project Execution Plan is background information such as project name etc, thebulk of the plan is a set of instruments designed to help focus the expectations and responsibilities of allparties involved in the BIM aspects of the work based on goals set by the team.By working through the BIM Project Execution Plan Process, each team: Clarifies the level of detail they will be contributing to the model Identify their processes (BIM Uses) and any unique needs from the modelHere is a list of the BPXP documents:DSM <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.2DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.1DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.2TitleBIM Project Execution PlanDSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.2 BIM Requirement.pdfBPXP Supplemental Instructions.CIC-BIM Project Execution Planning Guide.pdfBPXP Template.docxBPXP Goal Use Analysis Worksheet.xlsx01-BPXP Goal Use02-BPXP BIM Use AnalysisBPXP Process Map Templates.vsdBPXP Information Exchange Worksheet.xlsx01-Team Members02-BIM Matrix03-Level Of Detail401.4.3.1 BIM Requirements.docxThis document is a more technical overview of the BPXP and outlines <strong>DIA</strong>’s implementation of the BPXP,the objectives and the core expected BIM deliverables for each phase of the work.BPXP InstructionsInstructions for completing this template document are found in both of these documents:BPXP Supplemental InstructionsCIC_BIM Project Execution Planning Guide.pdfBIM Project Execution Plan (BPXP) Template.docxThis document is the base file to be completed for all <strong>DIA</strong> projects by the Project BIM Team and is part ofthe BIMPXP package submitted to the <strong>DIA</strong>.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-<strong>12</strong> Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-<strong>12</strong>

This is a detailed workbook spreadsheet that is part of the PXP Package and isincluded as an attachment when completed and submitted. This same file listed what is needed in theBIM output and when it is to be delivered.401.4.4 <strong>DIA</strong>BPXP NotesIf all <strong>DIA</strong> projects were exactly the same, with identical goals and teams, then it would make sense tohave a “standard and completed” <strong>DIA</strong>BPXP as a starting point. Take for example an in-house projectexecution plan enacted just between the architect and the project engineer. The end goal is to producethe construction documents regardless of the size of the project, or what uses the client has in mind. Withthat type of consistency, all uses could be accounted for and a standard execution plan could be issuedfor most projectsHowever, the new South Terminal and the new Hotel are two very different projects and illustrate why astandard package is not possible. The South Terminal will end up as a model coordinated with <strong>DIA</strong>’sfacility software. In order for the record model to be of the most use, the entire process from conception torecord model will be influenced by that end goal. Everyone on the team needs to be aware of thedownstream BIM uses and revise their input into the model appropriately, all of which is established witha BPXP. On the other hand, the Hotel might not end up as part of the <strong>DIA</strong> facilities and will not needthese additional BIM uses. Consequently the requirements of those authoring the BIM data may be quitedifferent.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-17 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-17

The files andfolders described here are available, or "shared" to all <strong>DIA</strong> staff as well as any consultant working on<strong>DIA</strong> BIM projects. Each project will include base content and custom <strong>DIA</strong> content.Within the folder structure, there are sub-folder tree structures of the <strong>DIA</strong> content library that combinecontent for all disciplines in a single tree structure.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-21 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-21

The shared coordinates of this fileutilize the standard coordinate systems and datums used by <strong>DIA</strong> for buildings and site projects. This filewill be used on all projects as the "Shared Coordinates" master file for any <strong>DIA</strong> Revit Project.<strong>12</strong>-4.1-22 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-22


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEW401.6.2.2 Building Name ConventionNew BIM models are named with data that describes its location, building abbreviation, office of origin,the trade and the project number, as illustrated in the following:<strong>12</strong>-4.1-23 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-23


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEW401.6.2.3 Room and Door Numbering Convention<strong>DIA</strong> now has a room and door numbering convention that provides a logical and consistent numberingprotocol providing unique numbers for reach room and reach door per room for the entire facility. Allrooms of the current <strong>12</strong>.5 million SF have been named and numbered in BIM using this method. Thosesame rooms also include the past room numbers for archival purposes. This convention is illustrated asfollows:401.6.2.4 Other Established Naming ConventionsInclude Revit and CodeBook project files, Revit family files, Wall types, Views, Sheets401.6.3 Graphic and BIM Internal Standards (Template issues)<strong>DIA</strong> maintains Revit templates for consistency in all Revit projects. Separate templates are provided forArchitectural, Site/Landscape, Structural and MEP Revit models. Most of the symbols, tags and othergraphic standards are built into these templates.401.6.4 Process and Workflow Guidelines<strong>DIA</strong> recognizes that "how" a model is constructed, is just as important to the end product as "how" themodel is documented with graphic standards. The BIM manual is provided as a guideline process anddescribes workflow issues such as: Creating a project Accessing the remote server Using the Master Grid Revit file for shared coordinates Starting a project with the <strong>DIA</strong> template401.6.5 <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Kit of Parts: Revit and Civil 3DAs per the <strong>DIA</strong>BPXP, all BIM projects are to include a corresponding project database. At the start ofeach project, <strong>DIA</strong> will provide the Project BIM Team the <strong>DIA</strong> Kit of Parts which will include templates forboth Revit and Civil3D, parameter data and Revit family components which will exist within the equipmentlibrary.The Project BIM Team will organize the structure of the BIM by linking of all the Revit models that makeup each building project into the project. Those multiple models are then linked into a single projectdatabase. All “rooms” or “spaces” that exist within the Revit project models are to be linked to their<strong>12</strong>-4.1-24 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-24


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.1 – BIM OVERVIEWcorresponding room within that project database. The BPXP will define submission requirements whichwill outline BIM models with their linked projects.1) Goals…a) Link and pass data between BIM and FM / GISb) Manage the <strong>DIA</strong> Kit of Parts in a single location across the entire facilityc) Overall improving the management of <strong>DIA</strong>d) Establish BIM Standards for today and future projects2) Who…a) <strong>DIA</strong>: The Database will be used by <strong>DIA</strong> for managing the graphical and parameter informationthat is passed between the Revit models and the FM and GIS group. For example, ifMaintenance has replaced a filter on the rooftop AC unit of the <strong>Airport</strong> Office Building, thatchange can be passed into BIM via the Database to a maintenance asset parameter. Likewise, ifsomeone replaces urinal type “A” with urinal type “B”, that change is pushed from Revit via theDatabase back to that room inside Maximo. This is the true lifecycle management of the entirefacility.b) Architects and Engineers: The project architects and engineers will be the creators of the BIMdata. The use of the Database will have a minimal impact on way they use BIM today. In order to“find” a room in a BIM model, the room needs to be created within the <strong>DIA</strong> Defined parametersand linked to the Revit room. Once that link is established, all types of room data can be passedbetween each program. Once the room link has been created, Revit family data can passbetween each program.NOTE: If the AE firms start their Revit models using the <strong>DIA</strong> Kit of Parts, all the families in thatpackage will already exist within Database. The Revit user simply places the family from the Kit ofParts into a single room and once the family is placed, that family can be used as a normalcomponent to be copied and placed across all rooms in the project. When the Database rooms areupdated, all the Revit rooms linked to Database will find the <strong>DIA</strong> Revit family. The other benefit to the<strong>DIA</strong> Kit of Parts is the pre-existing data link between the Revit Database family parameters and theasset parameters within Maximo.SECTION 401.7 <strong>DIA</strong> Collaboration/Communication PlanA <strong>DIA</strong> Collaboration/Communication Plan will provide <strong>DIA</strong> and its service providers a means to efficientlycommunicate, share, and retrieve information created with BIM technologies both internally andexternally.401.7.1 CommunicateUnlike CAD, where a large number of files are operated on by many individuals, BIM systems involvemany users simultaneously accessing a few files. Because of this close interaction between teammembers, communication becomes much more important.401.7.1.1 Team Members Instant MessagingInstant messaging or some other immediate communication system is a key component of teams workingon the same Revit central file. If all team members are in the same open office space, this could be verbal<strong>12</strong>-4.1-25 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.1-25

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.2– BIM REQUIREMENTSSECTION 402.1 Requirements IntroductionThis document lists the BIM requirements for any <strong>DIA</strong> project whether created in-house or by externalconsultants, and is both a stand-alone document for staff and consultants to understand <strong>DIA</strong>'s BIMspecific requirents for starting projects, as well as a resource used to seed a project execution plan.The process of engaging in BIM work at <strong>DIA</strong> requires review of this document, as well as ProjectExecution Planning Instructions, Templates & Worksheets, and a comprehensive understanding andpractice of <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Standards, all of which combine to define the process of BIM for <strong>DIA</strong> projects.402.1.1 <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>’s Vision<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> (<strong>DIA</strong>) recognizes that Building Information Modeling (BIM) represents afundamental change to the industry. This change affects the traditional processes and deliverables forplanning, architecture, engineering, construction and facilities management.The goal of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> is to integrate BIM from cradle to grave in its organizational,planning, and maintenance departments.<strong>DIA</strong> also recognizes that BIM involves rapidly evolving processes, industry standards and technology.As building information modeling technology advances, <strong>DIA</strong> will look forward to integrating those changesinto existing processes.As part of the first phase of integration of BIM at <strong>DIA</strong>, the immediate goal is to take advantage of theinformation model created during design and construction to enhance and feed into existing and futurefacilities maintenance systems.To achieve this first goal, <strong>DIA</strong> has adopted these BIM requirements. These requirements apply to <strong>DIA</strong>BIM Projects advertised on or after July 1, 2010Requirements established here are baseline requirements for all BIM projects at <strong>DIA</strong>. Any of theserequirements may be superseded by Project Contract or the project’s specific BIM Project Execution Plan.Keep in mind also, that these processes will update as newer technology and software updates becomeavailable that alter or enhance these worklfows, processess and requirements.402.1.2 AcronymsRefer to glossary section at the end of this chapter for complete definitions of these terms.BIM: Building Information Model or Building Information ModelingBPXP: BIM Project Execution Plan<strong>DIA</strong>: <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>LoD: Level of DetailPBIM: Project Building Information Model including all files used to hold building information.SECTION 402.2Implementation402.2.1 Project DeliveryThe project delivery method must be determined at the initial stage of the project so that BIM can beproperly structured and managed to support the delivery strategy. The delivery method defined for aproject will have a significant impact on downstream processes and coordination.402.2.2 Data Reuse, Ownership, Rights of Data<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> has ownership of and to all CAD files, BIM Models, and Facility/OM Data asdefined in the contract for the Project.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-2 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-2

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.2– BIM REQUIREMENTS402.2.9 LEED/Green Initiative/Sustainability(Reserved)SECTION 402.3 BIM Project Execution Plan<strong>DIA</strong> requires a BIM Project Execution Plan (BPXP) be developed to provide a master information/datamanagement plan and assignment of roles and responsibilities for model creation and data integration.The Project BIM Team shall submit to <strong>DIA</strong> within thirty (30) days of contract execution, a BIM ProjectExecution Plan (BPXP). The BIM Project Execution Plan shall identify the entire Project BIM Teamincluding all consulting engineers and any specialty consultants. The BPXP should be considered a livingdocument and shall be continually developed and refined throughout the project development lifecycle.In those projects where construction information is available during the design phase (using the DB, IPDor other project execution strategies), the BPXP shall address both design and construction activities.For project delivery strategies where the contractor is not part of the original Project BIM Team, the BPXPalso should include roles and responsibilities of the contractor(s) even if that party has not yet beenidentified.The BIM Project Execution Plan will be reviewed and approved by <strong>DIA</strong> within fourteen (14) days after thesubmitting of the BIM Execution Plan. If in the case that the BPXP is rejected by <strong>DIA</strong>, the Project BIMteam has fourteen (14) days to resubmit. <strong>DIA</strong> has fourteen (14) days to review the resubmitted plan. Anapproved plan must be in place within 60 days unless otherwise noted in contract.For those project delivery strategies where applies, the BIM Execution Plan will be a part of the final biddocuments. If the contractor is not part of the original Project BIM Team defined by the BIM ProjectExecution Plan, the Contractor shall review the BIM Project Execution Plan with the Project BIM Teamand submit any Addendums within thirty (30) days of contract award. The Project BIM Team and <strong>DIA</strong> willreview and approve of any Addendum within fourteen (14) days of submittal. An approved plan must be inplace within 60 days unless otherwise noted in contract. The contractor is then considered for thisdocument part of the Project Team.SECTION 402.4 Objectives and ApplicationThese requirements are organized via traditional delivery method. It is not to dictate delivery method, butestablish a common vocabulary as a starting point for the <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Projects.Unless overridden with the BIM Project Execution Plan, at a minimum, BIM shall be used for the following:402.4.1 GeneralThe following apply to all phases of the project.To allow the most flexibility in delivery methods the term Project BIM Team has been used in this sectionto delegate responsibility in general to the Project BIM Team as identified by the BIM Project ExecutionPlan. Specific roles and responsibilities are determined by that document.402.4.2 Level of DetailThe timing of the Level of Development (LoD) required for elements(s) or systems(s) will be dependententirely upon the project execution strategy used for the project, as the deliverables and their timing willbe different for DBB than for DB or IDP. The LoD will be developed for any project as part of the BIMProject Execution Plan.402.4.3 Space, Equipment and Asset Validation<strong>DIA</strong> uses CodeBook; a standalone database software for program validation and equipment/assettracking. CodeBook provides links from the BIM rooms, spaces, equipment and assets to <strong>DIA</strong> facilitiesmanagement (Maximo) and GIS (ESRI) building databases.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-4 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-4

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.3.1– BPXP SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONSSECTION 403.1.1 Supplemental Instructions for <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Project Execution PlanningThe <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> BIM Project Execution Plan is based on a template provided byCIC/Penn State. The template word document and each of the worksheets have been modified for use by<strong>DIA</strong>. This document provides instructions for the modified <strong>DIA</strong> version of the BIM Project Execution Plan.403.1.1.1 Overview<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> based its BIM Project Execution Plan Template package on a plan createdfrom the buildingSMART alliance (bSa) Project “BIM Project Execution Planning” as developed by TheComputer Integrated Construction (CIC) Research Group of The Pennsylvania State University.The original template package includes several worksheets and a separate guide-instructions document.Like the original, the <strong>DIA</strong> BPXP includes instructions and worksheets which have been modified from theoriginal CIC/Penn State template. In addition to the worksheets and instructions, <strong>DIA</strong> has includedexamples of completed plans and worksheets for illustration purposes.SECTION 403.1.2 <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Project Execution Plan Template DocumentsThe <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Project Execution Plan Template is not a single document, but a folder structure containingseveral documents.In addition to the single word document DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.2 BPXP Template.docx, <strong>DIA</strong> provides thefollowing documents as part of this package:403.1.2.1 InstructionsIn addition to the in-line instructions in the template document, two sets of additional instructions areincluded in the <strong>DIA</strong> Project Execution Plan Template package:DSM <strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.1 CIC-BIM Project Execution Planning Guide.pdfThis document is the original CIC/Penn State instructions in PDF format. While long at 99 pagesit is a very informative guide to the Project Execution process. It not only includes step by stepinstructions for each of the section in the plan, but also describes the reasons and thinking behindthe system in general. Team members not familiar with the CIC/Penn State process are stronglyurged to read this entire document.DSM <strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.1 BPXP Supplemental Instructions.pdfThis document which calls out instructions for the modifications made to the original CIC/PennState plan. This document uses many of the illustrations and text found in the DSM <strong>12</strong> - Chapter4.3.1 CIC-BIM Project Execution Planning Guide.pdf because while the worksheets have beenmodified, the rationale behind filling out the worksheet is the same.403.1.2.2 WorksheetsThree separate worksheets are provided to aid the project team in completing this document. Theworksheets are a required part of the BIM Project Execution Planning process and become attachmentswhen the planning process is complete.DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.2 BPXP Goal Use Analysis Worksheet.xlsx (Excel file)This worksheet is a tool used to translate initial project goals of the project team to BIM Uses andperform a cost/benefit analysis to come to consensus on the agreed upon BIM Uses for theproject.DSM <strong>12</strong> - BPXP Process Map Template.vsd (Visio drawing)These worksheets provide tools to map in a general way: Timing of BIM Uses in the project schedule. Identify who will be authoring the data to the BIM Model at each phase of the project.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-2 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-2

Each building model author provides the Level of Detail that they will be creating in the model Each stakeholder requiring a BIM Use records the Level of Detail necessary for that use.And provides tools to reconcile conflicts between these two items403.1.2.3 ExamplesProvided as a separate folder within the <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Project Execution Plan Template package, these areprovided as reference only.Worksheet ExamplesWhile the original CIC/Penn State worksheets included examples in each of the worksheets,these have been moved from the working copies to separate files for clarity.Fire Protection Room ParametersThis project of limited scope is not a typical BIM project, so does not illustrate the completebreadth of the BPXP. However it does illustrate the flexible nature of this template.SECTION 403.1.3BPXP Section D and E: Goal_Use_Analysis_Worksheet403.1.3.1 Section D: Project Goals / BIM UsesTo complete this section, use the excel file DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.2 BPXP Goal Use AnalysisWorksheet.xlsx to:1) Establish goals for the project2) Translate the goals to BIM Uses. It is important to understand that goals may relate to specificuses while other goals may not. For example, if there is a project goal to increase field laborproductivity and quality through large amounts of prefabrication, then the team can consider the‘3D Design Coordination’ BIM Use which will allow the team to identify and correct potentialgeometric conflicts prior to construction. On the other hand, if the team’s goal was to increase thesustainability of the building project, several uses may assist in accomplishing that goal.3) Evaluate the risks of the BIM tasks based on team (...Worksheet.xlsx worksheet 02-BIM USEFORM)ResourcesCompetencyExperience<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-3 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-3

The team information is also part of theDSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.2 BPXP Goal Use Analysis Worksheet.xlsxBut this table is to record additional information for each selected task. This table is further specified inthe table in the BPXP table for this sectionSECTION 403.1.4 BPXP Section F: Process_Map_TemplatesThe goal of this section is to provide high level process maps for each BIM Use selected in Section D:Project Goals/BIM Objectives. These process maps provide a detailed plan for execution of each BIMUse.These maps also define the specific Information Exchanges for each activity, building the foundation forthe entire execution plan.By working through this section and creating these process maps the team will identify for each BIM use,the information or input needed for the process as well as the expected output and dependent processes.These will form the basis for the more detailed Excel spreadsheets in the next section which identifyownership and level of detail required by the model for each phase.The plan includes the Overview Map (Level 1 map) of the BIM Uses, a Detailed Map of each BIM Use(Level 2 map), and a description of elements on each map, as appropriate.403.1.4.1 Worksheet Vs Sample MapsBlank template Visio files are provided in the Worksheets folder for completion by the team.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-4 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-4


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.3.1– BPXP SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONSSample Process maps in Visio format can be found in the Examples folderSamples:Within the sample file provided, a Level 1 map and several Level 2 process maps are provided. Given thetask of assigning ownership to specific tasks will be dependent on the method of delivery for project; thereis no way to accurately provide maps for all scenarios. These example maps are weighted toward designbid build delivery, but the content can be copied from the example to the projects worksheet as needed oras is applicable. These are samples only and should be modified by the project team collectively.After these process maps are completed they should be placed as Attachments to the final BPXP.InstructionsAn abbreviated version of the instructions is provided in this document. These are paraphrased from themore complete instructions found in DSM <strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.1 CIC-BIM Project Execution PlanningGuide which should be available as part of the <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Execution Plan Template package403.1.4.2 Section F.1 Level One Process Overview Map: AttachmentThe general process flow of creating Level 1 BIM Use Process map is as follows:1. Place Project BIM Uses into a BIM Overview Map (Level 1 map)2. Arrange BIM Uses according to project sequence in the BIM Overview MapNote that BIM Uses may be placed more than once. E.g. 4D Scheduling will occur at Design as well asConstruction and possibly Planning as well.3. Identify the responsible parties for each processContinuing from the previous example, 4D Scheduling probably will occur in multiple phases and theprocess is generally the same. However, the responsible party and level of detail required from the modelmay be different for each phase of the project.4. Determine the Information Exchanges required to implement each BIM Use403.1.4.3 Section F.2 List of Level Two – Detailed BIM Use Process Map(s): AttachmentA Level 2 Detailed BIM Use Process Map includes three categories of information which are representedon the left side of the process map and the elements are included in the horizontal lines (referred to as‘lanes’ in the BPMN mapping notation):1. Reference Information: Structured information resources (enterprise and external) required to executea BIM Use2. Process: A logical sequence of activities that constitute a particular BIM Use3. Information Exchange: The BIM deliverables from one process which may be required as a resourcefor future processes.Again with the 4D Scheduling example, If different parties have been assigned to scheduling for differentphases of the project, it is likely that the level of scheduling is dependent on the level of detail of themodel at that phase. Create separate Level 2 maps for each of the phases to help identify data flow andownership. Alternatively create one level 2 map that takes into account the different owners of this task inthe different phases.SECTION 403.1.5 Section G: BIM Information ExchangesBIM MatrixThe BIM Matrix combines the CIC/Penn State worksheets into a single worksheet: List of Information Exchange Worksheet(s) : Attachment 4<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-5 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-5

Please refer toDSM<strong>12</strong> – Chapter 4.3.1 BPXP Supplemental Instructions for the instructions for both sections thatfollow:List of Information Exchange (Attachment 4) and Model Definition (Attachment 5) which have beencombined into a single worksheetThe original CIC/Penn State worksheets for the List of Information Exchange (IE) and the ModelDefinition (MD) worksheet (Chapter 4 in the DSM<strong>12</strong> – Chapter 4.3.1 CIC-BIM Project ExecutionPlanning Guide.pdf instructions) in the have been combined into a single worksheet.This method continues with the BIM Use Process Maps created with theDSM<strong>12</strong> - BPXP Process Map Template.vsdIn this method, each of the information exchange flows identified in the BIM Use Process Maps arefurther expanded, identifying the information required from the BIM model for each exchange.From this information the model definition can be established to set the criteria of the development levelof the model at each phase to ensure that the model is complete enough to complete all of the requiredinformation exchange flows.Define Information exchanges (IE)Establish Model Development listThis document uses many of the illustrations and text found in chapter 4 of the DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.1CIC-BIM Project Execution Planning Guide.pdf because while the worksheets for the IE and MD havebeen combined, the rationale behind filling out the worksheet is the same.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-6 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-6


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.3.1– BPXP SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONSSECTION 403.1.6 Information Exchange (from the document DSM<strong>12</strong> - Chapter 4.3.1 CIC-BIMProject Execution Planning Guide.pdf)403.1.6.1 Pulling the Information through the ProjectEvery element of a project does not need to be included for a model to be valuable. Therefore, it isimportant to only define the model components that are necessary to implement each BIM Use.Figure 4‐1 depicts how information flows through a BIM implementation processThis figure that was derived from the Level One process map described in Chapter Three. Note thatdownstream BIM Uses are directly affected by what is produced by the upstream Use. Looking at thisexample as a pull driven approach; if the model information required for implementing a particular BIMUse is not authored by an upstream team member, then the information needed must be created by theresponsible party of that Use. Therefore, it is up to the project team to decide who should be authoringthis information and when this information needs to be placed into the BIM. For simplistic purposes, it isonly necessary that the team define one information exchange requirement for each BIM Use; although,there may be several exchanges that take place. These exchanges should be clarified in the Level Twoprocess maps depicted in Chapter Three.403.1.6.2 Information Exchange Requirement WorksheetAfter process map development, information exchanges between project participants are clearlyidentified. It is important for the team members and, in particular, the author and receiver (for eachinformation exchange transaction) to clearly understand the information content. The procedure forcreating the information exchange requirements is detailed below:403.1.6.2.1 Identify Each Potential Information Exchange from Level 1 & Level 2 Process MapsInformation Exchanges that are shared between two parties should be defined. One BIM Use may havemultiple exchanges over the life of the project. The time of exchange should be derived from the LevelOne Map. This ensures that the involved parties know when the BIM deliverables are expected to becompleted along the project’s schedule. The project phases should also be identified in the project<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-7 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-7


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.3.1– BPXP SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONSspecific contract language (Chapter Five). When possible, the BIM Use exchanges should be listed inchronological order to give a visual representation of the progression of the model requirement.To take an example, the BIM Use Estimating will likely happen at several phases in any BIM project. Withregards to the information exchange between the BIM model and the estimating software, the team mustdecide what a reasonable level of information exchange is at each of the phases.403.1.6.2.2 Enter the Team Information in the worksheetA Separate tab is provided in the <strong>DIA</strong> excel worksheet DSM<strong>12</strong> - BPXP Information ExchangeWorksheet.xlsxRecord the team member information in this list.403.1.6.2.3 Choose a Model Element Breakdown structure for the projectAfter the project team has established the Information Exchanges (IE), the team should select an elementbreakdown structure for the project. Currently, The <strong>DIA</strong> excel worksheet DSM<strong>12</strong> - BPXP InformationExchange Worksheet.xlsx uses the CSI Uniformat II structure:However other options are available on the Penn State/CIC BIM Execution project website.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-8 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-8

The team should reach consensus on the level of detail system used anddocument it in this spreadsheet.On the workbook tab “Level of Detail”, add in any BIM uses and come to consensus on what theacceptable level of detail is for this BIM use for each of the model progression categories 100-500.403.1.6.2.6 Identify the responsible parties and level of detail 100-500 for each of the BIMelements per milestoneFor each of the building elements, identify who is responsible for authoring the information for thatmilestone.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-9 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-9


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.3.1– BPXP SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS403.1.6.2.7 Enter each of the Information Exchanges in the BIM MatrixFor each of the identified Information Exchanges identified, enter a column in the BIM Matrix worksheet torecord this exchange.The worksheet has separate columns for Model, Construction and Facilities BIM Uses403.1.6.2.8 Identify the Information Requirements for each Exchange (Output & Input)To define each information exchange, the following information should be documented:a. Model Receiver – Identify all project team members that will be receiving the information to perform afuture BIM Use. These parties are responsible for filling out the Input Exchanges.Output exchanges will not have a model receiver, and should be filled out by the project team.The purpose of this exercise is to anticipate where a milestone deliverable output will not meet the inputrequirements of specific BIM uses. If the owner is the party doing estimating at 80% schematic designand they feel they need a level 300 model, but the authors (Architect, engineers) are only providing alevel 200 model, the team needs to address these types of conflicts before they happen (see next step).b. Model File Type – List the specific software(s) as well as the version that will be used to manipulate themodel during each BIM Use. This is pertinent in order to identify any interoperability that may existbetween exchanges.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-10 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-10


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.3.1– BPXP SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONSc. Information – Identify only the information necessary for the BIM Use implementation.d. Notes – Not all necessary requirements for model content may be covered by the information andelement breakdown structure, and if more description is needed it should be added as a note. Notes canbe specific to certain modeling content and/or depict a modeling technique.403.1.6.2.9 Compare Input versus Output ContentOnce the information requirements are defined, it is necessary for the project team to discuss the specificelements where the Output information (Authored) does not match the Input information (requested). Theexample in Figure 4‐2 depicts an inconsistency between a Design Authoring Output Model and an EnergyAnalysis Input Model. When this occurs, two potential remedial actions need to take place:1. Output Information Exchange Requirement –revise the information to a higher level of accuracy and/orinclude additional information (e.g. add R‐Value to Exterior Walls); OR2. Input Information Exchange Requirement –revise the responsible party so that information is authoredby the organization performing the BIM Use.Figure 4-2END OF CHAPTER 4.3.1<strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-11 Revision 20<strong>12</strong>\ <strong>12</strong>-4.3.1-11

To successfullyimplement Building Information Modeling (BIM) on a project, <strong>DIA</strong> has developed this detailed BIM ProjectExecution Plan. The BIM Project Execution Plan defines uses for BIM on the project (e.g. designauthoring, cost estimating, and design coordination), along with a detailed design of the process forexecuting BIM throughout the project lifecycle. Additionally, this plan is to provide all stakeholders with adelineation of roles and responsibilities detailing scope of information to be shared, relevant businessprocesses and supporting software.BIM Project Execution Plan Change ManagementThis is designed to be a living document that will change through out the life of the project. Changesrequested to this document must be submitted in writing to the BIM Manager for the PMT. To be acceptedinto the document, changes must be agreed to by the BIM leads for key project stakeholers, by <strong>DIA</strong> andthe PMT, or have no impact on scope or schedule. Key project stakeholders are identified in bold in table403.2.2.2.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-5 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-5

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)Chapter 4.3.2 – BPXP Template403.2.4.3.1 Area Calculations<strong>DIA</strong> follows the BOMA / ANSI Z65.3 2009 standards for general square foot calculations for area (grossand net) calculations. For the area plans calculated in Revit, area plans will be created for each floor.Areas will be calculated at finished floor elevation for the hotel levels but at 4’ AFF for other levels. <strong>DIA</strong>Area plans will be labeled <strong>DIA</strong>-BOMA-Level XX for gross department calculations. These area plans willbe used to compare prgramatic areas required by <strong>DIA</strong>, however, area plans for the hotel will be submitteddirectly to Starwood using Gensler’s own area calculation methods. Based on the design and thedifferences in area take offs, both <strong>DIA</strong> and the PMT will assume that Genlser will meet Starwood’srequirements for areas in the hotel and hotel areas calculated within Revit are solely for record. Each planwill contain the following departments:• Building Common Area (restrooms, janitor closets, ticketing, lobby, storage)• Exterior Area (covered areas, exterior stairs, loading, outdoor baggage)• Major Vertical Penetrations (stairs, elevators, mechanical shafts)• Office Area (airport offices, bag claim, concessions, retail)403.2.4.3.2 Senstive Security InformationThe STRP project will follow the SSI (Senstive Security Information) guidelines set forth by <strong>DIA</strong> inaccordance with TSA regulations.SECTION 403.2.5BIM Information ExchangesModel elements by discipline, level of detail, and any specific attributes important to the project aredocumented using an information exchange worksheet. <strong>DIA</strong> has provided two worksheets as attachments3 and 4 to this document.§ BIM Matrix Worksheet: Attachment 3§ Level of Detail Worksheet: Attachment 4While there is good overview information in 1a_DSM<strong>12</strong> – Chapter 4.3.1 CIC-BIM Project ExecutionPlanning Guide.pdf Chapter Four: Defining the Requirements for Information Exchange, pleaserefer to 1b_ DSM<strong>12</strong> – Chapter 4.3.1 BPXP Supplemental Instructions for direct instructions on thisworksheet.§ BIM Matrix Worksheet: Attachment 3§ Level of Detail Worksheet: Attachment 4SECTION 403.2.6BIM and Facility Data RequirementsThe <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> requires all Revit building projects to include a corresponding Datanormalization project database. <strong>DIA</strong> will provide the AE Consultants and Contractors, at the start of eachproject, the <strong>DIA</strong> Kit of Parts (KoP) which will include pre-built Revit family components as well astemplates for creating Revit Projects and Component Families that have <strong>DIA</strong> graphic standards built in.The <strong>DIA</strong> KoP also includes a list of paramaters requiered as part of the BIM milestone submissionsAs per this <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Execution Plan, the AE Consultants and Contractors will organize the structure andlinking of all the Revit models that make up each building project. Those multiple models are then to asingle Data normalization project database. All “rooms” or “spaces” that exist within the Revit projectmodels are to be linked to their corresponding room within the project database using the <strong>DIA</strong> Datanormalization application specified in the software section.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-15 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-15


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)Chapter 4.3.2 – BPXP TemplateDuring the scope of work, the first, official Revit / Data normalization project submission delivered to the<strong>DIA</strong> by the A+E consultants will be for the 50% Schematic Design issue. All subsequent project Revitsubmissions to <strong>DIA</strong> will include the Revit models and a corresponding Data normalization projectdatabase. Between official submission deadlines, the PMT will review both the BIM model and Datanormalization database regularly to ensure consistency and alignment with the process.Refer to the DSM<strong>12</strong> - BPXP Information Exchange Worksheet.xlsx, Level of Detail Matrix foridentifying BIM-related Data normalization data and families.SECTION 403.2.7Collaboration Procedures403.2.7.1 Communication:Design Phases: The Design Team will use Electronic file transfers for the exchange of electronicdocuments between the design consultants. Access to the chosen system is to be provided and managedby the PMT. Documents will be shared via Buzzsaw which will allow document sharing via asynchronized file structure.403.2.7.2 Document Management:403.2.7.2.1 Uploading Files:When team members upload files to the collaboration site, please organize information in either folderswith current date and/or an archived zipped file. This will ensure that the data is easily understood by therest of the team.

In order to incorporate regular project reviews and meetquality control standards, the project review process has been broken down into the following sections.<strong>DIA</strong> Design Submittal Process – Model Review<strong>DIA</strong> recognizes that in order to achieve maximum effect of incorporating BIM-based technologies andprocesses into its overall lifecycle operations, management and development goals, regular review of theBIM deliverables will be necessary. The BIM Model review is detailed in Section 403.2.19 Quality ControlChecks of this document. In summary, this review is to deal with technical and quality control issuessurrounding the model itself. Some examples are verifying family naming matches the <strong>DIA</strong> standards,review of the errors and warnings, workset integrity, etc. These elements are to be reviewed and reportedupon on a weekly basis. This process does not entail any design review.<strong>DIA</strong> Design Submittal Process – Design ReviewIn order to achieve maximum benefit and assurance that the STRP design meets the aesthetic andprogrammatic needs of <strong>DIA</strong> and still meets the aggressive schedule, the design review process will bebroken down into key areas to help keep the review areas focused on high-need areas while minimizingnon-topical review comments. The following design review schedule will help to break out key portions ofthe project to ensure a timely review of program and design.Objective ReviewThis review will happen on a monthly cycle beginning in 20<strong>12</strong>. Design elements that fall withinthis category will be quantitative elements such as room and department areas, door counts,material take offs, etc. The list developed is not meant to be finite and any other elements ormaterial counts that can be automatically generated from the design model can be included inthis report.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-19 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-19


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)Chapter 4.3.2 – BPXP TemplateSubjective ReviewThe subjective review is designed to encompass all of the other design elements that create thebuilding design. This runs the gambit of flashing details to room adjacencies, to other designrelatedissues. Since this is review can potentially incorporate a vast number of sheets, details,and other design criteria, the Subjective Reviews are further broken down into the followingschedules and workflows:ScheduleSubjective reviews are schedules to happen weekly. Models will be posted by the designteam no later than 5pm on Monday. Files will be downloaded, aggregated, andcirculated no later than noon Tuesday. <strong>DIA</strong> will have time to review both the modelcontent and the drawing content then comments will be collected at noon Thursday andreturned to the design teams by 5pm Thursday. That gives each team 2 working days tocreate comments and 2 working days to address comments with the remaining day splitto download and upload the files. File archives are addressed in Section 403.3.7.5.4 ofthe BIM Execution Plan.Beyond the weekly review process, there are 2 scheduled reviews of full drawingpackages. These more formal reviews will occur at Schematic Design + and DesignDevelopment +.Weekly Review WorkflowDue to the size of the new project and the short timeframe for the review, the weeklyreview areas will be divided into 8 focus areas or Work Areas. These regions areidentified in the graphic below.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-20 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-20


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)Chapter 4.3.2 – BPXP TemplateWhile review comments are welcome from any portion of the building during the weeklyreview process, the Work Areas are designed to help keep the group focused to asmaller subset of the building that is on the critical path. These review regions will beestablished during the weekly review process.The design review process will be established with two ways to make comments on themodel and drawings. The reason for establishing these two different workflows is that wewill have design information in the model itself and it will be visible in 3D. The secondreview will involve the traditional 2D drawings that will be printed and establish the recorddrawings.The 3D model review will be hosted during a weekly review process. During this meeting<strong>DIA</strong> staff will review the model information from within NavisWorks in 3D creatingcomments on a comment resolution form. The second review method is the traditional 2Dsheets. As noted previously, there are 2 review processes that <strong>DIA</strong> will have a 2 weekperiod to review the design on printed materials. This weekly review will be handled byreviewing the Work Areas established for that week within a DWF format that willresemble the drawing sheet set. DWFs are similar to a ‘digital PDF’ and allow digitalmarkups. The DWFs will be produced in sets reflecting the weekly Work Areas. Thedigital mark ups can then be brought into Revit by the design team as an underlayallowing the designers to quickly and easily see the comments. It will also allow the PMTand <strong>DIA</strong> to keep a digital record of comments.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-21 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-21

In the case of models created by the contractor or their subs, requirements in thissection will be followed.403.2.14.2 Origin Point:Is to be the same as that established during the design phase of the project. All models must be in thecorrect location in 3D Space (x, y, and z coordinates). These coordinates will be set by <strong>DIA</strong> anddistributed to all consultants & trade contractors for their use. This includes correct floor elevation(s) (zcoordinates). The correct insertion point is critical and ensures that each model will align properly for themaster aggregate Model without modification. General Guidelines for Construction Model authoringprocess shall follow Attachment 2, m. Construction Modeling.403.2.14.3 Tolerances:Model(s) and Model Elements must be within 1/8” of theoretical dimensions. Tolerances for specific itemsand systems will be determined as necessary. Model tolerances are not to be construed as constructiontolerances.403.2.14.4 Units:Imperial units: One (1) unit in the model equals 0’-1”403.2.14.5 Scale:BIM/3D Models need to be in the correct scale and units. One unit (in the model) equals one inch. Modelmust be 100% complete for the current building, level, and phase. A good rule of thumb is that if you don’twant to move it, it needs to be in the model. This includes, but is not limited to:§ Piping that is larger than 2” diameter.§ Model all equipment and panels to scale with required clearance zones included.§ Identify all service and access areas.§ Show size and thickness of housekeeping pads.§ Show all sleeved or cored hole penetrations.§ Model all “no-fly zones” for: access, maintenance clearance, elevator shaft, code issues,constructability with solid objects.§ Any item which may impact coordination with other disciplines§ Penetration thru building systems such as cast-in-place concrete and CMU walls shall beidentified in the Trade Contractor’s model by means of a modeled sleeve (w/ defined tolerance).§ All model elements (families) are to have identity codes or CSI codes attached as defined in thedata normalization requirements.§§Equipment to have manufacture and model attached if known.Individual Trade Contractors’ 3D model content requirements will be detailed and finalized inconjunction with the final contract agreement.SECTION 403.2.15Modeling Requirements – Construction Phase403.2.15.1 Systems Modeled and Level of Detail:The level of detail defined in each section below is the minimum level of detail required in the model.Greater detail than the minimum should be incorporated in the model whenever possible. Refer also tothe Model Progression Specification (Attachment 3) for the modeling requirements in relationshipto each phase of the project. Any further Model development or scope deemed necessary and notpreviously defined will be addressed as they are indentified.

The process is to create andupload system models to the BIM Server as frequently as required by Contractor for other tradesto use while modeling their systems. Contractor’s BIM coordination process in many respectsfollows a traditional sequence of drawing / modeling those systems with the most constraints ontheir routing and then following with those trades that have more flexibility in their placement.Coordination will be expected to start as soon as contracts are awarded and follow the typicalsequence:Duct will be laid out in conformance with design documents. If floor size permits, duct layout toflow systematically across a floor allowing other trades to follow behind drafted areas.Thereafter all pitched plumbing systems are to be drawn and coordinated with the ductwork.Once duct/pitched pipe are coordinated, other major constrained trade systems’ componentsincluding all HVAC, Fire Protection, electrical cable tray, conduit racks, plumbing racks, are to bedrawn/modeled and coordinated.Upon completion of drawing/modeling and coordination of major system components of theconstrained trades, “minor” components are to follow including branch piping & smaller conduitruns.Trade Contractor shall be prepared to accommodate bi-weekly meetings to resolve modelconflicts within the Project Schedule and sign off on a 'Master Model' to be considered the basisfor construction on an area and floor by floor basis consistent with the Project Schedule.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-34 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-34

Although BIM based projectsencourage developing a 3D model early on the project, 4D models created too early are generallytoo superficial and cannot provide insight into the project challenges. During programming andschematic design phases, when objectives and elements will constantly change, a 4D model canconvey little useful information. 4D models created too late usually do not allow for changes to bemade on the project from new insights or cost more to do so.Project teams also need to understand what the scope and LOD should be. Typically, the LODincreases as more design and construction information becomes available throughout the projectlifecycle. The following table can be used as a guideline to manage the level of detail but it mayvary from project to project.Phase 3D Model Level of Detail Construction Schedule Level of DetailFeasibility Study Project Construction projectConcept Design Buildings / Major Project Elements Construction areasDesign Development Systems / Components Sub areas / Building Units / DisciplinesConstruction Documents Parts Activities403.2.21.2 Project Kickoff Meeting:A project kickoff meeting should be set up in order to coordinate information exchange and to develop acommon understanding of the use of the 4D model.

The 4D model will only be as detailedas the minimum level of detail represented by the 3D model or schedule.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-40 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-40


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)Chapter 4.3.2 – BPXP Template403.2.21.4 Guidelines on Updating the Model:The 4D modeler should also incorporate any insights or changes to the 3D model or schedule into thenext revision of the model. The 4D modeler should also be responsible for managing and coordinating the3D modeler and scheduler for updates to the 4D model. The 4D model should be updated as often asnecessary. The schedule for updating depends upon the model usage and phase. For example, duringfeasibility, the model may be used for visualization and marketing purposes only, which requires littleupdating. However, during design development, the 4D model may be used to determine constructabilityand influence design changes. In this case, the 4D model, 3D model, and schedule may be updatedfrequently. During construction, the design is finished and managing the construction schedule becomesthe main use for the 4D model. Therefore updates to the 4D model and schedule are frequent, whilechanges to the 3D model are limited.403.2.21.5 4D Model Use:403.2.21.5.1 Schedule Communication403.2.21.5.1.1 Full Project Schedule:The level of detail (or level of granularity) of the full schedule presentation will need to be reviewed by allparties. The level fo development of the 3D model will have to correlate with the relative level of detail forthe full schedule presentation. The full schedule shall represent at least: all activities, critical path,relationships, float, durations, and work breakdown structure. The schedule format shall be consistantwith the required performance specifications for scheduling required by <strong>DIA</strong>.403.2.21.5.1.2 Look Ahead Schedule:This Schedule shall be used regularly to present an executive level representation of the Past month’swork, current work, and future month’s planned work. Essentially this schedule shall be a 90 day lookahead from a point in time 30 days prior to the current data date. The schedule shall be used to create ashort animation focusing on the time frame. The Look ahead schedule can also be used to focus onspecific activities, critical path analysis and specific scopes of work.403.2.21.5.1.3 As-planned vs As-built Schedule:This scheduling approach is a variation of the look ahead schedule described in 2.1.2. The use of the Asplannedvs As-built schedules are particularly useful in projects that have a sequence of repetitiveactivities occurring in adjacent locations. Analysis of previously planned work in comparison withcompleted work may result in improved performance of the next planned sequence of activities.403.2.21.5.1.4 Procurement Tracking:By linking the schedule to the BIM models, it is possible to view potential sequencing and procurementdelays and impacts to construction. For example, if the procurement activities are properly incorporatedas schedule activities and a long lead item is scheduled to be installed, and the procurement activitieshave not yet been completed, the team can address the issue quickly and prevent any furtherdownstream schedule delays. Creating a visual link between procedural items and 3D building modelelements helps to better predict the impact that procurement delays will have on construction.403.2.21.5.2 Construction Sequence Analysis403.2.21.5.2.1 Safety Management:Safety is a critical issue for all construction organizations and especially for a public 24/7 operatingfacility. The 4D model will be used as a visual tool that allows the team and stakeholders to assessconditions and identify unsafe areas that might otherwise go unrealized prior to encountering them in the<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-41 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-41


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)Chapter 4.3.2 – BPXP Templatefield. For example, creating envelopes surrounding areas of required public access or first respondercorridors can be modeled and used to analyze whether planned construction activites will encroach orrequire physical relocation of the envelope.403.2.21.5.2.2 Operational Impact:Operational continuity is also a critical issue for a functioning <strong>Airport</strong> facility. The 4D model will be used toreflect impact on daily required operation access and facility use. For example, creating envelopes and/orclear acces paths for required GSE traffic or Sterile access corridors can be used to analyze potentialimpacts on stakeholders as well as Construction personnel. Minimizing access to sterile and securedareas by construction personnel will result in saved time and money during construction production.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-42 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-42

Oftentimes, if these three core components to the model are not set up correctly, it is very difficult to manageand update the model, reducing its effectiveness. The following sections give best practice guidance oncreating and managing these core components effectively. At a minimum, 4D models require 3Disometric object data and a schedule with a start date and finish date. While a BIM is not required for a 4Dmodel, project teams should consider creating a BIM to enable the project team to have moreopportunities to use 3D, 4D, BIM technologies later.403.2.21.5.3.2 3D modeling for 4D Phasing:3D models have a specific layering scheme within the 3D modeling application. Objects are typicallylayered based on building elements. However, in the actual construction of the project (and the 4D modelrepresentation), building elements are never constructed all at once. Therefore, it is essential for modelmanagement to have a 3D model layering scheme which supports the 4D modeling activities. There aremethods to make the 3D model and schedule correspond to each other. These methods use a uniqueidentifier of elements and tasks such as their Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), and using a consistentnaming convention recognized by the modeling and scheduling software.It is important to establish a layering scheme to support the 4D model. Otherwise, it is very difficult tomanage and update the 4D model. In addition some elements in the 3D model might have to be dividedinto segments to correspond to the schedule, for example a large slab might have to be in 2 or morepieces to correspond to different pour schedules.<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-43 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-43


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)Chapter 4.3.2 – BPXP TemplateThe 4D modeler must also understand how the model will be used and how often it will be updated. If themodel will be updated frequently, an information exchange process must be set up. If the 4D modeler isalso the designer (i.e., A/E) the process will be in-house. However, if the 4D modeler is different than the3D modeler, an information exchange process must be established where one party must update the 3Dmodel per the construction schedule layers. This updated model can then be incorporated into the 4Dmodel. If the model is not updated frequently (e.g., it is used for marketing purposes or pre-bid meetingonly), then the information exchange process is not as critical.403.2.21.5.3.3 Additional Building Elements and Activities which Support Visualization:When building elements in the 3D model are not sufficient to describe the construction or phasingprocess, supporting building elements and activities need to be created.For example, a project team may want to examine the use of traffic lanes during construction. If the trafficlanes are not present in the 3D model, additional building elements representing traffic lanes need to becreated. Additional activities need to be created that represent traffic movements. Often times, theseactivities are correlated with existing construction activities.403.2.21.5.3.4 Orienting the Model:Model orientation is important for stakeholders to understand the 4D model. Without orienting the model,project stakeholders may be confused at what they are seeing. Model orientation can include adding 3Dtext to locate street names or building levels or adding a high level site model. In addition when the modelis used as a coordination tool for different trades, micro details (e.g. grid lines, room names) can be usedto orient the model as well.403.2.21.5.3.5 Required Building Elements:While building elements should be customized for each 4D modeling project, the following buildingelements should be required in the model:403.2.21.5.3.6 Required for Phasing Schedules:§ Site Model§ Foundations§ Structure§ Walls (Exterior and Interior)§ Slabs§ Mechanical System403.2.21.5.3.7 Required for Construction Schedules:Building elements broken down to the same LOD as schedule (e.g., individual AHU units, columns,beams)403.2.21.5.3.8 Optional (depending on project objectives)§ Traffic flows§ Temporary structures§ Workspace requirements§ Equipments<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-44 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-44

The following section has been left in tact as the standard <strong>DIA</strong> templateand will be modified once that workflow is established.403.2.22.1 5D Model Guidelines:§§Based upon the project challenges, technology and available information, project teams mustensure that the timing of the 5D model creation is correct. 5D models created too early or too lateyield less benefits than those created during the ideal time. Although BIM based projectsencourage developing a 3D model early on the project, 5D models created too early are generallybroad reaching and cannot provide insight into the project challenges. During programming andschematic design phases, when objectives and elements will constantly change, a 5D model canrepresent low level of detail analysis. 5D models created too late do not allow for analysis ofchanges made on the project from new insights or cost more to do so.Project teams also need to understand what the scope and LOD should be.

When you create takeoff data in an automated programeach object and quantity is aggregated in to a table or spreadsheet format. All of this data is linked in a 3-way cross-reference. Therefore, when you select takeoff geometry, the corresponding object should beselected both on the model and in the table. Similarly, when you select an object on the model or in thetable, the takeoff geometry is selected as well. This 3-way visual cross-referencing of objects, at theproject level (model), and at the sheet (table)—is designed to help you validate takeoff data. Only itemsthat have a measurable value display in the table. Items are measurable when they have both a definedType value (either Linear, Area, Volume, or Count) and a defined property for at least one dimension.Cross-referencing items on the model with those in the table can help you validate your data.403.2.22.3.2 Cost Estimating:Exported model and table information can be incorporated into existing databases of material, equipment,and labor costs per unit of measure. Appropriate calculations can be applied to generate automated Costestimates and budgeting projections. Cost data shall conform to the requirements of the current approved<strong>DIA</strong> and city of <strong>Denver</strong> Orange Book as required by current public policy,403.2.22.3.3 Cost Analysis:Is not specifically a content of 5D modeling rather the result of being able to manipulate information andsystems of the 3D model to gather variances in costs.

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)Chapter 4.3.2 – BPXP Template403.2.22.3.4 Projected Cash Flow:Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS) shall be incorporated into a comprehensive model view. Asexample of the difference assume that a schedule contains:§ a task "Test hardware" that is budgeted to cost $1000 to perform, and§ is expected to begin at the start of January 1 and§ complete at the end of January 10.At the end of January 5, the work is scheduled to be 50% complete (5 days of the scheduled 10 days).So, at the end of January 5,§the BCWS is $1000 (the budgeted cost) times 50% (the scheduled completion percentage), or$500.Suppose that by the end of January 5, the work is actually only 30% complete. In this case,§the BCWP would be $1000 (budgeted cost) times 30% (the actual completion percentage), or$300.Also, suppose that to reach the 30% complete level at the end of January 5, $250 was actually spent.§ Then, the ACWP would be $250.403.2.22.3.5 Earned Value Analysis:Earned Value Analysis brings cost performance and schedule performance into a single unified view,providing a true picture of a projects value at any point in time, an ideal method of monitoring projectstatus and the likelihood of success. Earned Value Analysis keeps spend levels in-sync with workaccomplished while providing accurate forecasts. Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP) is thebudgeted cost of work that has actually been performed in carrying out a scheduled task during a specifictime period Eliminate inaccurate assumptions of work completion, and an out-of-sync budget againstactual completion.Key points to effective Earned Value Analysis are:§ Plan all work scope for the program from inception to completion.§ Break down scope into finite pieces (WBS) that can be assigned to people and organizations.§ Integrate program work scope, schedule and cost objectives into a performance measurementbaseline plan against which accomplishments may be measured. Controlling changes to thebaseline.§ Use actual costs incurred and recorded in accomplishing the work performed.§ Objectively assess accomplishments at the work performance level.§ Analyze significant variances from the plan, forecast impacts, and prepare an estimate atcompletion based on performance to date and work to be performed.§ Utilize Earned Value information in the management processes403.2.22.4 5D Deliverables:DESCRIPTION FORMAT FREQUENCYQuantity Take Off .xml, .pdf, .txt, .csv With Baseline schedule and any approved revisionCost Estimating .xls, .pdf, .txt, .csv With Baseline schedule and any approved revisionCost Analysis .xls, .pdf, .sp Monthly with Application for PaymentProjected Cash Flow Analysis .xls, .pdf, .sp Monthly with schedule updatesEarned Value Analysis .xls, .pdf, .sp Monthly with schedule updates<strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-48 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.3.2-48

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALSECTION 404.1 BIM STANDARDSThis chapter provides a set of graphic and Revit file standards for any BIM project at <strong>DIA</strong>. It has six mainsections: Introduction Content Library: Description of the <strong>DIA</strong> BIM source families and other content Naming Conventions: Buildings, Files, Revit elements Graphic Standards: Tags, dimensions, lines weights etc Revit Template File Embedded Standards Revit File Quality ControlFile Standards: Revit file aspects such as views and sheetsTarget AudienceThis document is targeted at anyone working on authoring Revit models for <strong>DIA</strong>. This includes both <strong>DIA</strong>staff as well as external service providers. The format of this document assumes the reader has a baseknowledge of BIM, Revit and the workflows and terms common to the industry, and based upon thedesign standards committee review.404.1.1 Introduction404.1.1.1 <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>’s Vision<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> (<strong>DIA</strong>) recognizes that Building Information Modeling (BIM) represents afundamental change to the industry. This change affects the traditional processes and deliverables forplanning, architecture, engineering, construction and facilities management.The goal of <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> is to integrate BIM from cradle to grave in its organizational,planning, and maintenance departments.<strong>DIA</strong> also recognizes that BIM involves rapidly evolving processes, industry standards and technology.As building information modeling technology advances, <strong>DIA</strong> will look forward to integrating those changesinto existing processes.As part of the first phase of integration of BIM at <strong>DIA</strong>, the immediate goal is to take advantage of theinformation model created during design and construction to enhance and feed into existing and futurefacilities maintenance systems.To achieve this first goal, <strong>DIA</strong> has adopted these BIM requirements. These requirements apply to <strong>DIA</strong>BIM Projects advertised on or after July 1, 2010Follow up with additional wording for “Disadvantaged <strong>Business</strong>es”Requirements established here are baseline requirements for all BIM projects at <strong>DIA</strong>. Any of theserequirements may be superseded by Project Contract or the project’s specific BIM Project Execution Plan.404.1.1.2 AcronymsRefer to glossary section at the end of this chapter for complete definitions of these terms.BIM: Building Information Model or Building Information ModelingBPXP: BIM Project Execution Plan<strong>DIA</strong>: <strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong>LoD: Level of DetailPBIM: Project Building Information Model including all files used to hold building information.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-2 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-2


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.1.2 Folder Structures-20<strong>12</strong>_<strong>DIA</strong> (Shared Libraries)This section describes the folder structure and content for the <strong>DIA</strong> (shared) BIM libraries. Files and foldersdescribed here are available, or "shared", to all <strong>DIA</strong> staff and consultants working on <strong>DIA</strong> BIM projectsrespectively. As a point of clarification, content will be accessed differently by <strong>DIA</strong> staff than <strong>DIA</strong>consultants.<strong>DIA</strong> staff will have access to an internal “Master”Content library, a Project specific library, and LocalWorkstation folders from which to begin projects and maintain related standards material. A currentreproduced copy will be provided to <strong>DIA</strong> consultants from which to begin their respective projects.For <strong>DIA</strong> consultants, this library (02_Project) will contain the <strong>DIA</strong> “Kit of Parts” and will be transferred totheir local server/network via FTP, or provided on a disk, after successful request to, and acceptance of,the <strong>DIA</strong> Project Manager. This folder structure can then be integrated into the consultants office projectfolder structure, and made available to all project staff members. It is recommended that consultantsmaintain the “Equpment” folder structure on their network as this is a requirement for project milestonesubmission.<strong>DIA</strong> Note: folder structure descriptions of a typical "in-house" project will be held in a separate documentfor in-house use only.404.1.2.1 01_<strong>DIA</strong> Master Content (BIM)The BIM “Master” Content Libraries holds all content for <strong>DIA</strong> BIM work, including the shared libraries andthe default Revit installed content. This content is the baseline from which all projects will begin. Asproject specific content is developed, reviewed and accepted, this content will be added to the BIM“Master” Content Library(01_<strong>DIA</strong> Master Content). The Library structure is defined with Custom foldersand folders with a CSI MasterFormat 2004 (2010 Update) naming convention. As additional projects aredeveloped, it is anticipated that this library will significantly increase over time, with project-ready,available content.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-3 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-3


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALNOTE: This library is organized in a different structure as the default installed Revit content (by RevitCategory) with exceptions and structural differences illustrated and noted in the following sections.404.1.2.1.1 Custom Library FoldersCustom FoldersCustom library folders ( 00_Master Format Docs - 05_Default Revit Content, and Annotations) includestandards based content and files applicable across trades, where as the MasterFormat folders (DIV-00through DIv-49) contain project specific component families and their specific symbol annotations.Combined (AEC Design Disciplines)- <strong>DIA</strong> Revit ContentThe Custom Library Content and MaterFormat folders are structured and combined to include content forall disciplines. This ensures continuity of developed content across trades It is important to note that themaintenance of versioned libraries is necessary because of the lack of backwards compatibility within theRevit file format. As new versions are released, it is likely that some projects continue forward on the oldrelease while new projects are started on the new release.It is also important to note that this content will be updated accordingly for projects as they reach certainmilestones of design, construction and operation.Custom Folders00_Master Format DocsContains Master Format Docs for Reference01_ContainersContainers hold various system family and annotation family elements.02_TemplatesContains both project and family template files that all <strong>DIA</strong> projects and content will be developedfrom.03_TitleblocksHolds <strong>DIA</strong> specific Titleblocks for project use across disciplines04_Hatch PatternsContains <strong>DIA</strong> standards specific hatch patterns<strong>12</strong>-4.2-4 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-4

These folders willnot be shared. The <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Master Library contains properly built template files from which to create newcontent from.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-5 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-5


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.1.2.2 02_Project ContentPart of the shared library structure, the Project Content folder contains a folder structure from whichconsultants will begin their <strong>DIA</strong> BIM projects . NOTE: All milestone and final <strong>DIA</strong> BIM project submissionswill be delivered to <strong>DIA</strong> in this structure / format. Because Revit is not backward compatible with previousreleases, content must be available for those projects that will not be upgraded during the designprocess. This content should be maintained in paralles with the Autodesk product release cycle (i.e.Revit2010, Revit 2011; folder names are shortened to just the year).404.1.2.2.1 01_Central FilesThis is the location that all Project Central Files will reside, in the their own discipline specificsubfolders. See Workflow Section 404.3.5.2.3 for specific linking file standardsCategories common to multipledisciplines are organized at the first levelby Discipline. This structure is typical toseveral of the category folders.A - ArchitecturalC - CivilE – ElectricalF – FireI - InteriorsL – LandscapeM – MechanicalP – PlumbingS - StructuralT - Telecom/Data404.1.2.2.2 02_DataThe Data folder is a location for storing pertinent database files.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-6 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-6


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.1.2.2.3 03_Project LibrariesThis folder contains a duplicate of the 01_<strong>DIA</strong> Master Content Libraries folder structure fromwhich to place project content during the course of project development. This is the folderwhere project teams will either add newly created content or modified <strong>DIA</strong> Master Content (Revit families).This folders contents will be reviewed and compared against the Master Library content andvalidated against <strong>DIA</strong> standards. Once the design is completed and any/all new or modifiedfamilies created during the project are saved, the Project BIM Manager will review this contentand if acceptable, include it in the overall 01_<strong>DIA</strong> Master Content library for use in futureprojects.The following sections describe the remainder of the project 02_Project folders:404.1.2.2.4 04_Support04_Support: This folder includes the standard supporting text files (Keynotes, SharedParameters, Import/Export lineweights) for Revit as well as customized Batch Files forautomated project folder creation.404.1.2.2.5 05_ReferenceThis folder contains all project related reference material, organized in logical file structures.Examples of this content would include product information and cut sheets, programinformation, etc.404.1.2.2.6 06_Misc ConsultThis folder includes all content from various consultants used to supplement both the designand documentation of the project. Examples would include drawings/ BIM files from consultantssuch as: kitchen design, lighting design, sound design, etc.404.1.2.2.7 07_ScriptsThis folder contains all script files for customized operations such as the creation of local filesfrom central files, etc.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-7 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-7

The Revit file <strong>DIA</strong> SHAREDCOORDINATES MASTER.rvt contains the crash map grids A-FF and 00-31404.1.3.3 Master Grid CodeEach building on the <strong>DIA</strong> property is assigned an alpha numeric code to designate the building’s locationin the master grid system.For buildings that occupy more than a single quadrant, the lower left corner of the building (oriented truenorth) will determine the quadrant.404.1.3.4 Sequence NumberA sequence number is added to the grid code to identify different buildings within the same grid. Thisnumber is simply the order that the buildings were built or assigned this value. Rather than guess at thisnumber, it should be identified by <strong>DIA</strong> during the BIM Project Execution Planning Process.Building ID Examples<strong>12</strong>-4.2-9 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-9

The intention of atemporary view is to create a view at a different scale or visibility graphic settings when aworking view is in use by another member of the team.Name these views t__descriptionIf you create one of these views, it is your responsibility to delete it when you are through with it.The project BIM leader can delete any temporary views in the project on a regular intervalthroughout the design phase.Schedules NamingIn addition to the above conventions:"Key" in a schedule name indicates the scheduling of Revit Keys rather than building componentsThese will likely never be placed on a sheet, but it is possible for some reason this is desirable. If a keyschedule needs to go on a sheet, it must be renamed to all capsLower case, and or "_" prefix denotes a working schedule.These will never be placed on a sheet.

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.1.5 Graphic StandardsMost of the <strong>DIA</strong> graphic standards are established by the template file. The base set of line weights, linetypes, fill patterns along with the standard set of annotation and tag symbols described here are part ofthe template files. Although part of the template files, the graphic standards have been separated fromthe template discussion (next section) for clarity.The Template establishes the standard for line weights, text styles, dimensions styles and annotativeobjects in the Revit model. If it is not in the template or the <strong>DIA</strong> Revit Content Library, it has not beenestablished as standard. In this case consultants are permitted to use their own.404.1.5.1 Sheet NotationAnnotation should follow the National CAD Standards current version (As of this writing current version4.0) Uniform Drawing System Module 7 Notations. Much of the text and illustrations in this section arefrom that document noted with Revit specifics as applies to <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Projects. Please refer to thatdocument for complete text on any of the topics in this section.The notes may provide: information identification instructionThere are five types of notes: general notes, general [discipline] notes, general sheet notes, referencekeynotes, and sheet keynotes. General notes, general [discipline] notes, and general sheet notes do notdirectly correspond to a graphic representation and are not directly “linked” by symbol (or other identifier)to other drawings or specifications. Should these three types of notes appear on the same sheet, they arelisted in the following hierarchical order: General Notes General [Discipline] Notes (such as General Architectural Notes) General Sheet Notes404.1.5.1.1 General NotesGeneral notes are located within the G-Series, General Drawing’s sheet types.404.1.5.1.2 General [Discipline] NotesGeneral [discipline] notes appear on the first or 0-Series sheets within a particular designdiscipline and apply to all subsequent sheets within that discipline. For example, general civilnotes appear on sheet C-001 and apply to all civil sheets within the drawing set.404.1.5.1.3 General Sheet NotesGeneral sheet notes are used to communicate sheet-specific information or instructions.General sheet notes are tabulated sequentially within the note block. General sheet notes followthe other types of general notes (general notes or general [discipline] notes) and precede anyreference keynotes that may appear in the note block. Refer to illustrations that follow. Generalsheet notes should be written in the imperative mood and in a streamlined format similar to thepreferred specification language presented in The Project Resource Manual—CSI Manual ofPractice (PRM).<strong>12</strong>-4.2-23 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-23

Refer to Keynote section for moreinformation.If you cannot put the full text of the note within the drawing area it will become either aReference Keynote or a Sheet Keynote.To allow the most flexibility for all firms and disciplines working with <strong>DIA</strong>, the following Revitcomponents have been identified to fill the roles established by the National CAD Standard forReference Keynotes and Sheet Keynotes: Sheet Keynotes will be Generic Annotations and Note block schedules. Reference Keynotes will utilize the Revit’s Keynote functions.<strong>DIA</strong> does not require the use of either sheet or reference keynotes but if used should use theRevit functionality outlined below404.1.5.2 AnnotationThe following section documents the many aspects of Revit which in traditional thinking areannotation.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-25 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-25

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALWeightsAnnotation Line404.1.6 Revit Template File Embedded StandardsA Revit file can contain all the elements needed for a construction document set in one file. In the RevitProject File (.RVT) are many aspects of the Building Information Model that in other modalities arestandardized in many files or other systems.For example, in CAD, Xref organization is extremely important. In Revit, most of what would be model orsheet xrefs are views built into the RVT file. Organizing this information is no less important in Revit thanCAD, it is just done differently.Inherent in the Revit project template files are: Graphic Standards (discussed in the previous section)<strong>12</strong>-4.2-44 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-44


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL Organization of the Views, Legends, schedules and sheetsThe Revit template is instrumental in establishing these standards. The organization established by the<strong>DIA</strong> Revit templates and documented here is also used by <strong>DIA</strong> to maintain their facilities models.Additionally, consistency in Worksets and Design Options organization and use has a great impact onthe ability for diverse teams to be able to effectively utilize the model.Because the models will become part of the facilities tools, it is important that the base set of standardsestablished by the <strong>DIA</strong> templates is maintained through the design and construction process.404.1.6.1 <strong>DIA</strong> Templates<strong>DIA</strong> maintains Revit Project Template files for architecture, site files and MEP files. These are available inthe standard content “03 Project Library\02_Template” folder.404.1.6.2 ViewsRevit organizes what traditionally are many CAD files into one project file as views. Floor plans are viewsof the entire building model. Sections are just vertical views of the same model. Schedules are also justviews of the same building model, but presented in tabular format rather than graphically. Whileschedules, legend and sheets technically are views to the Revit database, they are given separatesections in this document because their conventions and rules differ from the views listed in this section: Plans Elevations Sections DetailsKeeping all the views of the building information model organized is no less important than having apredictable and organized structure in a DWG based project.The structure outlined in this chapter is for projects started with the <strong>DIA</strong> Architecture template file. Other<strong>DIA</strong> templates may have only subsets of the views, legends schedules and sheets described here.Many elements within the Revit Model are views. Schedules404.1.6.2.1 Views: General StandardsThe following conventions apply to all views in the project regardless of the view type; plansection, legend, or schedule.Original ViewsOnce section and elevation marks have started to be placed in the project, do not delete the original Levelplan views. This is important as <strong>DIA</strong> utilizes the “Referenced From” parameter. Deleting the original viewswill create issues with this system.Creating New ViewsWhen creating a new view/sheet by duplicating or creating new from scratch, do not just create the viewand rename it. Open its properties and fill in the element properties which are used by your project forsorting and organizationLevel NamesLevel Names once set by the project BIM Lead are sacred. This means that the names that appear inelevations/sections should not be changed. Revit attempts to keep the name of a view coordinated withits Associated Level. This message appears when changing a view name that is the same as itsAssociated Level.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-45 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-45


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALThe answer is NO. Answering with YES will change the Level Name and that is usually not what isdesired. This message appears when you change a Level name. A Yes response will cause Revit to keepany views that have a matching name coordinated.Limit Duplication of Section Mark TypesSection -Detail types may not be duplicated.Duplication of Drafting View TypesDrafting views TYPES may be duplicated in a project to help organize 2D details in projects. In largeprojects the view's browser driving parameters should be used.404.1.6.2.2 View Organization ParametersMost of the view types (Plans, Sections, Elevations, Detail and Drafting views) have two customparameters Category and Sub Discipline which are used extensively to sort and organize thedefault views provided in any template.The view parameter Category is used per theNational CAD Standard sheet ordering system.The view parameter Sub Discipline is used bythe project browser. To organize the plan viewsinto different categories based on how the viewwill be used in the project.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-46 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-46


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.1.6.2.3 View Type DescriptionsViews: PlansAny project will require multiple plan views of each level of the project.Each plan view may only be placed on a singlesheet. To create a first floor existing plan and afirst floor dimension plan will require twodifferent floor plan views. The <strong>DIA</strong> Revittemplate is built to accommodate a basic set offloor and ceiling plans for each level in thetemplate. Each of these views exists to serve aspecific purpose.These divisions are a common starting point for any project and are organized around the National CADStandard sheet set organization system. These categories are described in the following section.Any project may add to or modify these basic organizational sets for project specificity.1) DesignThese views are intended to be used for Presentation views, which may include colors, shading/shadows,and other Conceptual and/or Schematic Design information.2) ExportThese views are intended to be used for exporting to other CAD formats. There may be times when theexport does not contain the same information as the construction document set.3) LinkThese views will be used for: Linking in other CAD formats. Refer to best use practices "linking DWG files" for moreinformation. A view with the active Revit Links made visible.4) SheetThese views are intended to become the Construction Document set. They are to contain final annotationand dimensions.WorkingThese views are intended to be used for the day-to-day creation of the model. These are views in whichyou can set the visibility graphics in a way to get your work done, hence "working view". These views arenever placed on sheets, so any visibility graphic changes you make will never affect the printed set.These views are intended to be in-house views only, and should not go out to the public therefore shouldNOT be placed on any sheets nor should they be part of any drawing setThe tasks completed in a working view are primarily model element manipulations. Final annotations,dimensions and notes need to be placed in the view placed on a sheet.Some examples of tasks that might be better carried out in a working view:As dimensions are one of the ways to draw accurately, often times you will dimension in Revit well beforedimension are placed in the printed views. If you have laid out walls and want to use dimensions to movethe walls into position. You can add these dimensions in the working view without regard to thedimensions final placement and without affecting any of your printed views.As you are adding in rooms, it is useful to turn on the display of the room object so you can see whererooms have already been placed and if rooms have been placed in other rooms. You would not want todo this in any of your printed views, but is accepted practice to do this in a working view.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-47 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-47

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.1.6.2.4 Browser OrganizationAs noted in the introduction to this section,Revit is internally organized around views ofthe building information model.The project browser provides access to thisorganization.Technically, Legends, Schedules and Sheetsare also views of the building model. Howeverthey are organized independently within theproject browser.Views, regardless of their type; floor plans,sections or detail views share some commonconventions Legends and Schedules sharesome of these rules. Sheets and Families havetheir own rules.<strong>DIA</strong> Browser Organizations for ViewsThe <strong>DIA</strong> templates have 6 customized standard view organizations, and 2 standard Autodesk browserorganizations.Each of these different set of browser organizations utilize different parameters for the sorting andorganization in the project browser. This list is not restrictive. Teams may develop their own browserorganizations that make sense for the size and scope of the project. It is suggested however that teamsdo not add more parameters, but instead utilize the existing parameters.Each organization definitions can sort and/or filter views in the project browser. Each uses up to 4properties to sort the view list and up to four filters to display only specific views within the projectbrowser. The parameters used to sort and filter for each of the browser organizations are recorded here.The first few are screen captured to illustrate the browser organization applied.The <strong>DIA</strong> standard (numbered) browser organizations use standard view parameters along with only twocustom view parameters: Category and Sub Discipline to create all the different organization definitions inthe project templates.For example, in the 01 ALL organization, views are sorted first by Discipline, then Category, Subdiscipline, and then by their Associated Level.All views will be displayed. The advantage: groups of view types are packaged together: the user couldcreate a "sub-discipline" called "Schematic Presentation" and place all the views into that package. Thoseviews will remain with the project but will be separate from the rest of the DD and CD views.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-49 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-49

It is essentialthat everyone on the project understand how to effectively use a working schedule to sort and filter to justthe information they are working with. This sorting and organizing WILL change the printed outputs so it isessential that this kind of work happen in a working schedule. Working schedules for every task are notprovided in the template. Project members are expected to duplicate an existing schedule and createeither a working or temporary schedule which conforms to the naming conventions listed in this sectionSchedules break many of the rules associated with views.1) Schedules can be placed on multiple sheets2) Schedules have no "title on sheet" parameter. Renaming the schedule renames the title.3) Schedule will sort alphabetically, not with the project browser organization.404.1.6.4.1 <strong>DIA</strong> Template SchedulesThis section documents the standard schedules available in the <strong>DIA</strong> templates.

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALPreserve design options only as long as they are useful to the project. Even though options maynot be active and visible, when changes are made within the main model all design options willupdate to maintain the model’s consistency.Consider whether options should be preserved long term in separate models which can belinked as needed.Unless specifically requested by the <strong>DIA</strong> Project Manager, design options should be eliminatedfrom the model file prior to submittal to <strong>DIA</strong>.404.1.6.8 Shared Parameters<strong>DIA</strong> maintains a master shared parameter file for all projects. This is not contained in the shared RevitContent Library, but the parameters are available in the <strong>DIA</strong> templates. A separate shared parameter filewhich has only the groups, but no specific parameters are provided as part of the base content. If newshared parameters are required by a project, they should be added to the project specific sharedparameter file and notice given to the <strong>DIA</strong> BIM manager.404.1.7 Revit File Quality ControlThis section outlines required best use practices which affect the health and/ or organization of theproject.404.1.7.1 Daily UseA set of general rules to keep the Revit file healthy:404.1.7.1.1 Opening Files When opening Revit files: Use the Revit Open dialog box rather than double clicking the file in windowsexplorer. Open selective worksets for larger files as appropriate.404.1.7.1.2 Use View Browser OrganizationEffectively finding the correct view in even medium size projects can take some time. Use theview parameters and browser organizations to keep views orderly. It is expected that submittalsto <strong>DIA</strong> submittals will have views that can be sorted and organized using the default browserorganizations in the project.404.1.7.1.3 Review and Fix Warnings (Daily Use)As the author of the BIM model it is no more acceptable to create overlapping walls as it is inAutoCAD to create 10,000 lines instead of using a hatch. Each user is responsible formaintaining the health of the BIM Model.Realize that some errors are more important than others. Revit maintains this list of warnings.Revit thinks about this list every time you do something. If you have a wall overlapping anotherwall, anything you do to either wall will cause Revit to go back and check "did that action justperformed correct this warning?"This always-on function can be a HUGE drain on performance. Keep your project warnings to aminimum.However, understand there are some warnings that are less critical (line is at slight angle).Others will go away over time: In conceptual design it is likely to generate many warnings of thetype “Door and room number have duplicate numbers”. However, as you start adding inschedules to renumber your doors and rooms these will go away.While it is the project BIM leads responsibility to track warnings, it is the responsibility of theteam to keep the number down.i) Fix Warnings: Select BY IDOften times it is difficult to see what element is causing the warning. Export the warning report then enter a 3D view.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-60 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-60

Source 1: Project File Source 2: Project's Family Folders Source 3: <strong>DIA</strong> Content LibrariesOutside Content SourcesContent outside of the three sources noted above should only be integrated into the <strong>DIA</strong> Content Librariesby the Project BIM Manager in coordination with the <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Manager.404.1.7.1.7 BIM Manager Project Maintenance & Quality AssuranceProject Maintenance includes items to be completed by the Project BIM Leader or the most experiencedRevit user on the project.404.1.7.1.8 Review WarningsTime Frame; weeklyThe project BIM lead should generate an xml file and review the list to keep an eye on theprogress of the project.Prioritize the list and delegate the resolution of items to the team.404.1.7.1.9 Remove Unused Families and TypesRemove unused families and types as needed and per development of model and prior tosubmittals. Use common sense whether this is a manual process from the project browser or apurge unused.404.1.7.1.10 Remove Unused LinksTime Frame; as needed and per development of model.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-61 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-61


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALACAD links of background and reference drawings should be reviewed. Remove unusedbackground and reference drawing links.404.1.7.1.11 Audit1x per week404.1.7.1.<strong>12</strong> Compact Central FileCompact the Central Files every couple weeks for small projects, every week for larger projects.Note all other users must save and exit their local projects while this is taking place and mustcreate new local files once the transaction is complete.404.1.7.2 Families2D if possible 3D if it makes senseDevelop 3D families only to 1/8” scale unless otherwise identified in the BIM Project Execution PlanSymbolic only in Plan ViewAll 3D families should use symbolic line representations for plan views. All 3D elements should be turnedoff for plan viewsFamily before GroupFamilies are your friends, Groups a necessary evil.Within reason use families over groups. For a table and chair, there is no discussion this is a nestedfamily. Entire unit or gate waiting area is a more difficult decision (no way to add walls in families).Keep in Mind PerformanceFamilies that HOST are more memory intensive. Families that cut host are the MOST intensiveParametric families are cool, but use memory. Autodesk even says limit their use, but just use commonsense. If you have a casework cabinet in a laboratory and you are only using a 36” wide size, then do notmake it parametric. On the other hand, if you have a lot of different sizes, then having 20 different familiesmay have a larger impact on the file than a single parameter driven family.NO 3D ACAD BlocksOr only as exception, there are times I might create a single element (Convoluted nurbs based roof orceiling feature modeled in MAX) but not something copied through the model.Revitcity is famous for families with ACAD blocks inside them, though they are available on the Autodeskweb site in modern medium library (casework, columns and more). Do Not use these in <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Projects.Hosted MEP FamiliesAll MEP families will either be hosted or not.Only Face-Based hosting is allowed as hosting method in <strong>DIA</strong> projects.404.1.7.3 ConstraintsConstraints are memory intensive and are best avoided. Constrain to layout, but then remove theconstraint. All of the following should be either be used and deleted or not used at all.i) Dimension EQAny dimension that is equalized adds a constraint. This is a very useful tool in design and when laying outcomponents. Remove constraint when done. It is acceptable to use sparingly on grids and levels.ii)ALIGN&LOCKAlign is fine, be sparing with align and lock.iii)DIMENSION LOCKLike Dimension EQ and line and lock. This constraint is very useful in conceptual design and whenbuilding the initial building model. Unlock when you are done with the relationship.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-62 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-62

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALOnly the material codes will be visible in the DOOR AND FRAME SCHEDULE.Door and Frame Schedule 02 Detail KeyThis key schedule allows you to assign typical detail references to the head, jamb and sill conditions thatmatch typical wall conditions.This is a manual process and will not change with changes to the detail numbers as the set evolves.However, the point source control of this schedule will make coordinating this data across many doorsmuch more efficient.Again, there is some sample data in the template. Replace with the project information, adding conditionsas the details are developed.The Wall Conditions parameter is D+F_DETAIL_KEY. It is assigned to the individual doors in theschedule Door and Frame Schedule 04 Key Settings.As the Door and Frame Schedule 04 Key Settings is filled out the DOOR AND FRAME SCHEDULE willshow just the detail references.Door and Frame Schedule 03 Hardware KeyThis key schedule allows you to associate the hardware group specifics to a single key value.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-64 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-64

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALThis schedule serves as a single working schedule to assign the keys developed in the door and frameschedule 01-03.404.2.1.2 Schedules: _View ListAll <strong>DIA</strong> templates contain a schedule for maintaining and controlling views. While primarily a tool for theBIM leader, it is accessible to anyone on the project and can be used by the Project Manager to maintainstandards in view titles on sheets as well.404.2.1.2.1 Manage Projects Views with _View List ScheduleAll <strong>DIA</strong> templates include a schedule that manages all the "views" within each Revit project.This schedule lists all the "View Names" that exist within a project and their corresponding "SubDiscipline" and Category. These are the two custom parameters used to sort views the project browserusing the numbered <strong>DIA</strong> browser organizations.While the example illustrated here shows how to use the Title on Sheet parameter, see caution at the endof this section. By default the sorting organization of the schedule sorts the views by sub discipline..View Names and View TitlesAs views are placed on sheets,<strong>12</strong>-4.2-66 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-66


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL... the view title automatically displays the view name.If the view name is changed, the name updates in the view title.Changing the Title on the SheetSometimes the "title on the Sheet" needs to be different than the view name. This can be done by editingthe parameter; "Title on Sheet".Once edited, the title on the sheet value will override the view name and the view title will update.Edit the View List ScheduleAs a project management tool, the "_View List" working schedule allows viewing and editing of the "Titleon Sheet" parameter for all views on sheets. This allows a much easier process of views all the sheetsfrom one location, editing those sheets...which in turn updates the title of the view on the sheet<strong>12</strong>-4.2-67 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-67


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALCaution: Title on SheetUsing the Title on Sheet parameter will disconnect the view name in the project browser and the title ofthe view as seen in printed sets of sheets. As many redlines still happen on printed sheet sets, this cancause some confusion between what the sheet says the name of the view is, and which view the endusers is supposed to open up to make the redline changes. If your project uses this parameter, use thesheet portion of the project browser to access the views rather than the upper list of views.404.2.1.3 Other Schedules_Program CheckerThis is a working room schedule that allows the project manager to keep track of rooms againstprogrammatic requirements.Given the early programmatic requirements, this schedule calculates the actual area Vs required areaand reports the difference. It can be deleted if not used in project.Custom Parameters used:All the custom parameters used by this schedule are grouped under the Construction parameter group inthe instance parameter of the room object.All other fields in the schedule are either native parameters or calculated values.Cautions:The areas shown in this schedule are room areas will be affected by the Room Area Computation settingfor the project._ABBREVIATIONSCustomized schedules to be used to record or plot the standard abbreviations for the project.

This functionality was putin place by CDV. This customized function provides a series of schedules used to control the issue dateshown on the sheets. As a highly customized aspect of the templates, instructions for the use of theschedules and parameters that control the issue portion of the title block cannot be found in the help file.This section outlines the parameters and the schedules used to control them.404.2.2.1 Sheets Title blocks and IssuesIf a sheet in any <strong>DIA</strong> project is opened and the border selected for editing, parameters have been addedfor the user to enter the submission number, date and description:The visibility of the Issue entries are controlled with a type parameter “Display Issues”.If this value is checked, the data will be visible, unchecked the values will be hidden allowing the Revisionschedule to display.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-72 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-72


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALThis entry is unique to this sheet and will not affect other sheets. This entry is also automatically recordedin the "Drawing Index-Architectural 03 - Issue Data Entry".While you could do this for each sheet this would take a long time. It is faster to use the tools (schedules)developed for this purpose404.2.2.2 Many Schedules, One TaskAll <strong>DIA</strong> templates include various schedules that manage the project sheet issues. This section discussesthe architectural template; however the other templates have similar schedules.In the order they are listed in the architectural template (alphabetical):If you are unfamiliar with the drawing issue schedules list, they will all look similar. The key to using theseschedules is three things:1) Each schedule has a specific purpose in tracking issue changes and populating sheets2) Each schedule has a complex sorting/filtering organization to help get the job done.3) When in doubt, duplicate and create a working or temporary schedule that allows you to unhide allcolumns so that you can see how it is sorted and organized.404.2.2.3 Instructions for Using the Issue Schedules404.2.2.3.1 Step 1) Check the Drawings to Include in an IssueStarting with the schedule: Drawing Index-Architectural 01 – Boxes, work down the list of sheets checkingthose that belong in the specific issue.As you check the sheets in this schedule, they will all appear as a single line in the Drawing Index-Architectural 02 - Issue Data<strong>12</strong>-4.2-73 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-73

Often such items as “how to I start a Revit project” are leftto word of mouth from other experienced users in a firm. However, these workflows and processes arecritical to the operation of the file and success of the project. In most cases any competent Revit usercould complete the task and get the job done. However, how the process was completed will affect alldownstream users of the Revit model. Agreeing as a team on common processes and workflows willprovide <strong>DIA</strong> with consistent record models.404.3.1 New Project SetupInternally to <strong>DIA</strong>, the steps below are necessary to create a new Revit project.

Revit will assignany levels and grids to their own workset. Model elements will be moved to UNNAMED.If you know a valid workset for your discipline and project you can go ahead and use a workset name thatmakes sense for your project. If you are just setting up the central file and have not discussed the worksetnaming with the team and BIM leader, then go ahead and use UNNAMED for the default workset. Thiscan be changed later.When Revit is done dividing the project into worksets it will display the workset dialog boxCreate Base Set of User Worksets.Your building type, anticipated scope and building size will determine that actual worksets. You will createadditional worksets later as the project evolves or as special needs arise.In the worksets dialog box: Click new to create more worksetsEnter the name for the new workset and click OKFor the base set of worksets refer to section 404.1.6.6For a list of standard worksets names. There is no standard number of worksets that can be applied to allprojects, either large or small. If you need assistance, ask a <strong>DIA</strong> BIM Manager for help.If used in the project Linked Drawings is one of the few worksets that will be created "not" visible bydefault in all views. Many Revit projects will use background drawings as reference. Even small projectswill probably reference in the site survey or some other background reference material, so creating thisCAD file container is probably the most universal, but again, not an absolute. Some projects may have acouple of these worksets; others may not have them at all.Once a basic number of worksets has been created, the next step is to create the central file.404.3.2.1.3 Create the Central FileOnce worksets are created, creating the central file is as simple as doing a Save As and making sure thepath name and file name are correct.

This section outlines the basic steps in creating this for the project. Create Project Specific Family: Logos, Address and Text changes Load into project Use project browser to select any instances and change to project standard Remove unused title blocksCreate Project Specific Title Block FamilyAfter selecting a size sheet for the project, find the corresponding <strong>DIA</strong> title block family definition in theproject browser under Families > Annotation Symbols.Right click on the size you are going to use and select Edit.Use the Application Menu > Save As > Family and save the family to the project’s family folder.Follow the naming conventions outlined in section 404.1.3LogosThe <strong>DIA</strong> logo is already incorporated into the base standard titleblocks.

All the provided sheet should now be using the project titleblockRemove Unused Title BlocksWhile Purge Unused can be utilized with care by the BIM Lead, a safer way to get rid of title block familiesthat are not being used by the project is with selective delete from the project browser.Right click any title block TYPE in the project browserIf Select All Instances is grey, then the type is not in use in the project. Use your judgment as to whetherthis border family may be deleted (24 x 36) or will be used later in the project (8 x 11). If you delete thesmaller borders that will be used for SK’s later in the project, they can always be loaded again from the<strong>DIA</strong> library when needed.If there is only a single type, you can delete the family.Right click on the FAMILY and click Delete from the right click menuRepeat as needed. If you later need a title block that you have deleted, you can load it from the standard<strong>DIA</strong> library.404.3.2.2.4 Start Sheet SetIn Revit the cartoon set or sheet set is started very early in the process for several reasons. Early in theproject life this usually entails organizing sample sheets provided by template and adding more sheets.

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALWhen you are creating the cartoon set or reorganizing the sheets provided with a <strong>DIA</strong> template, theeasiest way to do this is with a schedule. While there are several schedules available to you, they aredesigned for different purposes. A schedule that has Sheet number and Name as well as the sheetparameters used to sort and organize in the drawing list and in the project browser.The schedule: DRAWING INDEX has all of the parameters used to sort and organize the drawings in theschedules as well as the project browser.To manage the sheets in a project, duplicate the drawing index and unhide all columns.Any sheet schedule can also be used to add sheet placeholdersThe sorting information can then be added to the placeholderWhile these placeholders appear in the sheet schedules, they will not appear in the project browser until anew sheet is added. When a new sheet is added, you can select this placeholder to create a new sheet<strong>12</strong>-4.2-90 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-90


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALCopy/Paste for New SheetsThe standard help file way to create new sheets is to either use the View tab New Sheet toolOr right click on Sheet in the project browser.However nether of these methods will populate the sheets with the custom parameter used to sort andorganize them.Instead, find a sheet already in the right location in the project browser, right click >Copy to Clipboard(this will not work in the sheet already has a view on it).<strong>12</strong>-4.2-91 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-91

This can be withmassing or areas for space studies or with walls and curtain walls. This section provides a general outlineof how to get started.404.3.2.3.1 Adjusting Number of LevelsThe default architectural template provides 4 levels; Level 1, Level 2, Level 2 SSL (Structural Steel Levelfor project coordination with the structural engineer) and Roof. Views of each type are created for each ofthese levels. Delete or add levels as needed for your project.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-92 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-92

Keep in mind Revit can have two origin 0,0'sone for the project and one for the shared coordinates (usually the site 0,0, survey or civil 0,0).Generally if not otherwise specified, project 0,0 will be at the lower left corner of the building. This is acommon industry wide convention and not a standard. Ask your project manager where 0,0 should be. Ifthe team wants all ACAD drawings exported from the model with 0,0 at the survey point 3 miles to thesouth by southeast, then fine use the shared coordinates for that point. Do not draw the building 3 milesfrom the project 0,0 point.Moving and rotating a developed model is not impossible, just a pain.Revit Origin and Project 0,0A Revit project started from any of the <strong>DIA</strong> templates has two reference planes at the lower left corner ofthe plan views. These two reference planes are the project 0,0.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-93 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-93


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALLayout the Building or SiteLayout the building as it will appear on the greatest number of sheets (project north).For landscape or site plans (separate Revit models), in general lay out the project with true north up.Establish Approximate BoundsEach of the templates has a series of four reference planes. These are used to establish common extentsfor all plan and elevation views.Move the large reference planes in plan to approximate full coverage of building or site on sheetAdjust elevation marker locations.Eventually the project may replace these reference planes with scope boxes, however the referenceplanes are useful until that time.Adjust Level ExtentsIn an elevation view adjust the 3D extents of the level lines to match the extents of the buildingRepeat for the perpendicular elevation (do this in the north and east elevations).404.3.2.3.3 Other Project Tasks:Import text fileExport text fileReview the import text file that is in the project folder structure.

The discipline BIM lead should prioritize the list and delegate the resolution of items to the team.Each team member is responsible for keeping the project’s number of warnings to a minimum. Each teammember actively working on the project should expect to spend 45 minutes per week cleaning upwarnings in the file.This review also serves to keep the BIM leader in touch with the staff. If the project is stable at around100 to 200 errors, then 2000 errors appear in a week, have a talk with your team. If the same type oferrors crop up over and over, let the team know this is an issue.404.3.4.2 Remove Unused Families and TypesAs needed and per development of model.

If I were to add four new sheets, this is how theywould appear within the drawing index schedule and the project browserIn both cases the sheets are unsorted. The parameters; Sheet Sort Order and Sheet Discipline andVolume (if used) allow the sheets to be organized in a way that is not alphabetical ( General sheets priorto Architectural sheets) and affect both the schedules and browser organization.404.3.5.1.1 Sheet Sort Order, Sheet Discipline and Category (parameters)All new sheets created in any <strong>DIA</strong> project need to have the Sheet Sort Order, Sheet Discipline andCategory properly assigned. Rather than unhide the columns in the Drawing Index which is most likely ona sheet, duplicate the Drawing Index and create a working drawing list. Unhide the columns if needed tosee the Sheet Sort Order, Sheet Discipline and Category parametersAssign CategoryFirst fill in the Category parameter. This is the same value that is "header" for the architectural sheets.Note: You can select a pre-set parameter value or type in a new one.Category is used in the organization of the DRAWING INDEX.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-96 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-96

Fill in all the Drawing list parameters that sort those sheets as you see fit.These sheets do not have any AutoCAD linked files.These files include sheet names and numbers for all trades and is saved in the project directory: (ex.)\families\title sheets\ Consultant Title Sheets.rvtLink file into project using Auto: “origin to origin”.The title sheets will then display as needed in the “Drawing List” schedule.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-103 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-103


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.3.6 Working with ElevationsGeneral rules for creating elevations that read.Most firms have difficulty with Revit Elevations. This is because:1) The object styles are generally set for plan views; a low wall (projection) will be lighter than the fullheight wall (travels through the cutting plane of the view).2) Revit gives really only differentiates between things in the beyond condition and things that are cut. Inelevations, everything is the Beyond condition leaving little differentiation in line weights.Process #1 Replicate Hand Drafted ProfilingTo make elevations read entails:1) Review the visibility graphic settings and bump walls [projection] up a notch or two depending on yourobject styles and line weights2) Similarly bump up doors and windows, structure if you are showing beams and columns.This should get you 50 - 70 percent better looking elevation depending on the base settings of the objectstyle3) Make a view template and apply it to the other elevations.4) As needed, don't get carried away, use either the line tool with Pick Lines option (do NOT lock) or thepen override tool to SELECTIVELY bump up lines to accentuate planar depth differences.5) If you find yourself trying to bump lines down, revisit the VG settings again.Process #2: ShadowsRealize that the only reason that traditionally we outlined things in elevations was it was the quickest wayin hand drafting to get depth in a 2D drawing. You are using a computer and now are looking in elevationat a 3D thing.Does it make sense to follow drafting conventions established in a different paradigm? well it depends onhow complex the model is and how fast a computer you have.For small projects on fast computers, use the sun and shadow. Adjust the shadow angles to best illustratethe layering of the building.When working, turn shadows off, when printing turn them on (and wait while it rasterizes all the shadows).Do NOT use this on medium or large projectsFor large projects this will become unusable even on a fast computer, pan and zoom and plot takeforever.Pros and ConsBoth methods have advantages and disadvantages.Lines will not move with the model, make a detail group from all the model lines when you are done so ifthe elevation moves, you can move the line work.Pen override is confusing for the rest of the team and gets kind of wonky at wall joins.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-104 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-104


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.3.7 Links and Linking ReferencesThis section outlines some rules for linking AutoCAD drawings, Revit files and images404.3.7.1 Linking AutoCAD/Microstation filesBecause of the lack of control and versioning issues with DGN files, convert Microstation files to AutoCADprior to using in a Revit file.404.3.7.1.1 General Rule in Linking AutoCAD filesLinkingClean the drawing prior to use in Revit.Limit the number and duration of DWG files in Revit.Bring the DWG in as a link for reference then remove the link when you are through with it.Import the DWG into a single view then delete it when you are through with it.Colors: Inverse, Preserve, Black and WhiteTo convey to everyone on the project know the intended purpose of a drawing in the Revit file, a rule ofthumb that helps out in working with dwgs: Use Preserve Color setting for Reference-only drawings in and Use the Black and White setting for drawings that will be placed in views and plotted (civil, survey).404.3.7.1.2 Link vs. ImportDo LinkAlways “LINK” AutoCAD files into Revit. The exception might be creating Revit versions of standarddetails. This should be done in a separate project file and the resulting drafting view should be added to aproject or project template afterward to avoid polluting the Revit environment with undesirable ACAD linestyles, line patterns, fill pattern, object styles or text styles.Don't ImportNEVER “IMPORT” AutoCAD files into Revit. Doing so makes it much harder to remove them later.Note, Autodesk has come out and publically stated the inverse of this "always import, never link" this iscounter to almost all of the industry standard wisdom.A guess as to why this may be:Revit will copy the vector data in these files regardless of whether the file is linked or imported. You cansee this by linking a drawing into Revit, save and close. Delete the drawing and open the project again,the information will still be there, though the link is "not found"). so there may be no real advantageperformance wise to linking. However there may be a performance disadvantage to linking in that it triesto maintain communication over the network to the DWG location.Why does the industry say don't do it? The industry best uses are established usually by the hard coreRevit users and BIM managers in a firm. Without exception each one of these people has had tomanually clean out the garbage that is generated when the DWG is exploded in a project; most of whichis not simply rid of with purge unused, but manually deleted in many different dialog boxes.If it can be exploded, some new user on the project will exploded it. It is much easier to just say "don'timport, always link" than to explain this whole section to a new user. That said...404.3.7.1.3 Don't ExplodeNEVER EXPLODE an IMPORTED AutoCAD or Microstation file. Doing so will pollute your Revit projectwith undesirable ACAD line styles, line patterns, fill pattern, object styles or text styles.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-105 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-105


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALThe only acceptable reason to do so is when creating Revit versions of standard details. This should onlybe done in an isolated project file so that clean Revit drafting views can be added to templates andprojects.Exceptions:The following two examples are exceptions to the “never explode a drawing” rule. They are only allowedbecause the drawing is exploded in a separate temporary Revit project file that will be thrown away.1) Fit plansFor space planning on existing facilities, often times a fit plan for several different spaces in differentbuildings will need to be completed on a DWG background. Quick manipulation of the line work is neededin combination with Revit walls, rooms, doors and windows.The life expectancy of these project files is limited. A firm may be expected to generate 4 to 10 different fitplans in 5 hours for discussion with the client. When the final choice between several fit plans isdetermined, the fit plans are archived and a new clean project is created without the ACAD garbage forthe design and construction documentation2) DetailsWhen creating Revit versions of standard detail. IN A PROJECT FILE DIFFERENT THAN YOURWORKING PROJECT it is acceptable to import and ACAD detail and explode it for conversion to nativeRevit objects. This should only be done in an isolated project file so that clean Revit drafting views can beadded to templates and projects.404.3.7.1.4 All Views or Current View OnlyThe answer to this is: it dependsIn a non-workset file, the answer is always current view only except when you are using a civil file togenerate topography in which case you MUST link to all views.In a worksharing enabled file:If you have a drawing that is only needed in a single view for reference then link to current view only. Inthis case the drawing will be treated as if it is annotation and will belong to the workset of the view.If you have a dwg that must appear in many views (large floor plate, several people referencing samedrawing in many views), then link to all views on workset that is off by default in all views.Place All DWG Links on Separate Workset (DWGS Linked to all views)This allows any user to use VG to turn off per view the link.Depending on the complexity of the DWG in use, this could be one workset or several but usually not oneworkset per drawing file.This workset when created should be set to off by default in all views.However in Revit 2010 there is the bug that anything placed on a workset that is by default OFF in allviews can never be seen when the file is linked into another file. Usually this is not an issue for thearchitectural model, but keep it in mind if you are working with the civil or landscape drawings in the siteRevit model404.3.7.1.5 Limit Size to UNDER 5 MEGSLarge DWGs will slow down Revit performance.If needed, break up ACAD files into smaller drawings.An example might be a drawing with floor plan and ceiling plan in the same drawing with layers control.Wblock out the floor plan (no hatches) switch layers and Wblock out the ceiling plan (no hatches). Divideinto area plans if necessary.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-106 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-106


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUAL404.3.7.1.6 Adsk09 Performance Notes:The following note is from the Autodesk publication “Autodesk 2009 Performance Notes.pdf”DWG FilesMinimize the number of linked or imported DWG files.Straight from the factory. Autodesk said it, though the industry has been saying this for years.Avoid importing unnecessary data like hatching or AutoCAD®-specific linework such as constructionlines. Delete unnecessary parts and layers of the DWG file within AutoCAD and import only the cleaned,smaller DWG.See Wblock method same result, smaller, cleaner file.Avoid exploding the geometry imported from DWG files. The exploding operation within a Revit-basedapplication can change a DWG from a single managed element to hundreds or thousands of additionalelements depending on the number of entities in the imported DWG.Only link essential DWG files into necessary views.Switch off visibility of 2D AutoCAD DWGs in perpendicular views. A 2D AutoCAD file linked into a planview will show as collinear lines in elevation, causing performance degradation.Another reason to link in workset files onto a workset that is OFF by default in all views.404.3.7.2 Linking Revit Models404.3.7.2.1 General RulesOne Workset per Revit FilePut Each Revit linked Model on Separate Workset.Use VG to turn on or off workset per view.orUse workset dialog box to make workset NOT OPENED.Whether this workset is on or off by default in all views is a judgment call per file.Unload Links When Not NeededCautionThis is a TEAM decision, not an individual one. If you unload a link and save to central, it will be unloadedfor all users the next time they synchronize their local file with the central file.Oddities of LinksExample of medium-large file and file sizeRevit Project File #1 Size= 131 MEG (ON SERVER with Revit links)Revit Project File #1 REMOVED FROM LOCATION (LINKS BROKEN) = 90MEGRevit Project File #1 LINKS REMOVED/COMPACTED (REVIT AND DWG) = 67 MEG404.3.7.2.2 Multi and Split Building General RulesEach project will have unique challenges.

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALMaster File/SiteEach project with multiple buildings will have a master file. This could be (will often be) the site Revit file.This file will commonly contain:1) Shared CoordinatesThe master file will control shared coordinates and relationships between buildings.2) All Building RVT files are Linked into this file.3) Spanning ViewsAll views which need to see more than one building are held in the master file.Buildings Linked into BuildingsOnly Link all buildings into the site model. NOT into each other.Plan your sheets on a campus building not to depend on the adjacent buildings showing up in the printedsheets. If you have to maintain a building model linked into another building model it will slowperformance noticeably.Keep connector elements as separate RVT files that may be linked into each larger building as needed.LINKS AND SHEETSEach building will have its own sheets and also require sheets in the master or site files. Prepare for this.You cannot number sheets the same. Site cannot hold sheet A110.2 for building 1 and A110.2 forbuilding 2.Temporary ReferencingIf you need to link in another building for reference, Remove the link before you save to central. Linkchanges saved to central by one person are propagated to all other users when they save to central.Adsk09 Performance NotesLarge projects may benefit from breaking a model into separate project files and linking them into a singlecentral file and assigning each model to a workset (see Worksets section). Some typical cleavage pointsto divide a single project into multiple models include:Separate buildingsBuilding coreBuilding shellInteriorsExpansion jointsIndividual towersParking structure(s)Files may be linked, but not imported, using Shared Coordinates. Files may be imported using internalcoordinates only.Note:Splitting a Revit file into smaller parts and linking them together adds more work to a project (a lot moreVG work), but makes the file size smaller (daily tasks are faster) so it is a trade off. For large files it maynot be optional.404.3.7.3 Image FilesFor Logos (title blocks), prepare the logo as the actual size (2” x 1” etc) with smallest resolutionacceptable to be printed (usually 150-250 dpi depending on the printer and complexity of the logo).<strong>12</strong>-4.2-108 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-108

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALAdsk09 Performance NotesRaster ImagesRemove unneeded raster images and renderings. Raster images represent a performance and file sizecost which should be minimized.Monochrome raster images are smaller than color images. Save black and white raster images as 1 bitper pixel format instead of JPG or TIF. MS Paint refers to this format as Monochrome Bitmap.Large raster images such as logos scaled down to fit into title blocks will still retain the original file size.Consider creating a smaller, simplified image for import into a Revit-based application.404.3.8 CollaborationWith the BIM model and IPD process, it is likely that the consultants for a project will on board earlier thatin traditional CAD projects. The Architectural BIM model is much less isolated in the project workflow andprocess than traditional CAD project. In a CAD project, the line that represents a floor in section wouldappear individually in the Architectural sections and the Structural Engineer’s sections. In a BIM project,the TEAM must decide who own the floor object. To complicate matters, who owns the floor may changeover time as the model progresses. The architect in early design may place a generic floor slab. Once thestructural engineer comes on board, they may own the floor slab and the original floor object in thearchitectural model is changed to just the floor covering. Eventually the contractor may own the modeland demand that the subcontractors provide their working and as built models, replacing the floor that theStructural engineer owned for a while.Above all else the development of the BIM model will take much more communication than traditionalCAD because all the models are linked together.404.3.8.1 Consultant Files: Snapshots Vs <strong>DIA</strong> ServerTwo distinct processes for working with <strong>DIA</strong> consultants. In the traditional method, consultants will sendand receive files via FTP or other transmittal processes at set points in the project cycle. In the future,consultants may be given access directly to the <strong>DIA</strong> BIM File Share Location. In this method there is nofile transmittal process because all consultants are working directly in the same folder structure.404.3.8.1.1 Traditional File Transmittal Revit (Snapshots)When Revit central files are received they often have permission rights set which may cause issues in thearchitectural model. Also for the life of the architectural model, a consistent location and name for alllinked consultant models is desirable. This process outlines the saving and linking of outside consultantfiles.Consultant file is received via The established delivery process for the project.File is stored for record as received in project folder...File is opened with detach option to clear any permissionsFiles is saved in folder project folder xxxoverwriting older version. All links from the architectural model will point to this file.This methodDead Vs Live LinkingThe industry is still learning more efficient ways to deal with large models interacting with each other. Oneidea in some firms is to not link live models. For AEC firms and for <strong>DIA</strong> when consultants are workingdirectly on the <strong>DIA</strong> server, consider linking detached copies rather than the live central models.An example of this may be an MEP engineer using <strong>DIA</strong> server to create the mechanical model central filein the same folder structure as the Architectural Central files. Rather than link this mechanical central filedirectly into the architectural central, detach a copy and link the “dead” copy into the architectural model.<strong>12</strong>-4.2-110 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-110


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALFindings are indicating that this will help save to central times for all parties.404.3.8.2 Linking ModelsMost BIM projects will link several Revit models together. This is done for documentation as well asinterference checking.404.3.8.2.1 PositioningIt is assumed that the architectural team will begin the design process and the other disciplines will join inlater. This means that the architectural model ideally should be properly positioned relative to the siteconditions before the other disciplines become involved. This also means that the other disciplines cansimply acquire the position of the architectural model.Arch & StructureLink Architectural model into the Structural model using Auto: Origin to OriginArch & MEPLink Architectural model into the MEP model using Auto: Origin to OriginStructure & MEPLink each other's models into each other's model using Auto: Origin to Origin404.3.8.2.2 Unloading ReloadingThis should be managed by a single project user/data. Other user should manage the visibility of thelinked models via Visibility/Graphics and/or Worksets open/close.404.3.8.2.3 WorksetsIt is a good idea to create and use a separate workset for linked models. This way their visibility orpresence in the model can be managed without unloading the link. Unloading the link createsdownstream problems for other members of the project team when one member unloads and thenanother reloads it. The links should only be unloaded or reloaded in the central file typically.404.3.8.3 Copy/MonitorThis feature is best used to help kick off a project as the structural and MEP disciplines begin their work.It is intended to provide a coordinated means for each discipline to have their own copies of key portionsof the project that they need to control but keep coordinated.404.3.8.3.1 LevelsEach discipline must keep their levels coordinated. This tool permits each discipline to have their ownlevels that are based on the original versions established by the architectural team. These levels aremonitored by Revit to make sure any change in a model will warn the other team members in their ownmodels.404.3.8.3.2 GridsEach discipline must keep their grids coordinated. This tool permits each discipline to have their owngrids that are based on the original versions established by the architectural team. These grids aremonitored by Revit to make sure any change in a model will warn the other team members in their ownmodels.404.3.8.3.3 Other ElementsRevit supports copying and monitoring Walls, Floors and Columns between all versions of Revit. Theeffectiveness of the current implementation has a couple of flaws.Walls<strong>12</strong>-4.2-111 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-111


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALWalls - These do not permit monitoring based on the location line. It defaults to wall centerline. Thisprevent the structural team from properly positioning a structure only version of the wall that they mustcoordinate with architecture. Do not copy/monitor walls and expect them to work effectively at this time.Openings in Walls - These do not correctly reflect the true required opening for a door or window. Thetotal geometry of a door or window (any element that is hosted by a wall) will generate the opening. Thisincludes exterior trim or other solid geometry in the component. Any openings created by usingCopy/Monitor must be verified against the actual intended opening size. Family content must be madewith this in mind if the Copy/Monitor tool is to be successful.FloorsNeed to determine the preferred process for floors. Two options exist:Structure Owns Structural Slab - Architect creates slab initially but Structural team takes over onesbeginning work. Architect's model only floor finishes thereafter. The decking profile can be managedproperly by Revit Structure while Revit Architecture cannot. The Structural slab is used via linking thestructural model. The architectural model removes their version.Architecture and Structure "shares" slab through Copy/Monitor - Each discipline has their own version ofthe slab and coordinates them via traditional communication.ColumnsThe assumption with this it that the architect will place some preliminary columns as placeholders. Theycan place either architectural or structural columns. The structural design team will take over theownership of them when they begin their work.The structural team will or can use Copy/Monitor to acquire the columns that the architectural teamplaced. They can also map those columns to more appropriate types at the same time. Once this is donethe architectural team should remove their structural columns, if any were used, and let the structuralteam's design provide them via file linking.404.3.8.3.4 Managing ScopeScope Boxes are used to define specific areas of a project that will require enlarged plans. Additionalviews are created to depict the enlarged areas of work and then are assigned to the corresponding scopebox. The scope box then governs the crop region for each of its views. All views assigned to a scope boxwill have their crop regions adjusted by altering the scope box instead of editing each view individually.This makes it much easier to present a consistent portion of the project on all similar views.Scope boxes also permit greater control over the display of Datum Elements: Levels, Grids and RefPlanes. Scope boxes can be copied and pasted from one project file to another. This permits thearchitectural team to define the "cartoon set" or presentation format desired and later the other disciplinescan copy the scope box(es) from the architectural model to use the same structure for their views.404.3.8.4 ExportingThe primary reasons to export to another file format from a Revit project is to share project informationwith others who do not use Revit. The export process best supports the need to simply provide abackground drawing for a consultant to do their design work over.There should be no expectation that the resulting export will mimic or represent the technique(s) of atechnician working within the native software for the format used, for example a drawing file created by anAutoCAD user. Revit creates a literal interpretation of the information contained in a view in the desiredfile format. It does not mimic the techniques of a native AutoCAD user. Revit should not be considered abetter way to create "DWG" files. Using a export to a cad format is the lowest common denominator forinteracting with others, not the ideal way to do so.Revit supports exporting:Elements to specific layersElements assuming all elements are created either By Layer, with Element Overrides or using a NewLayer for overridesUsing specific unit of measure<strong>12</strong>-4.2-1<strong>12</strong> Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-1<strong>12</strong>

BIMprovides a three dimensional graphical database that allows the dramatic coordination of document sets,clash detection of multiple trades and phasing the project for construction logistics (all of which were notprovided by traditional 2D CAD).<strong>DIA</strong> recognizes they can no longer afford non-coordinated document sets. Like <strong>DIA</strong>, owners, developersand government institutions across the US are demanding their projects be done in BIM for this<strong>12</strong>-4.2-114 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-4.2-114


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 4.4– BIM MANUALfundamental reason. <strong>DIA</strong>’s preferred BIM software programs to manage the graphical data are producedby Autodesk. Depending on the trade, <strong>DIA</strong> requires all graphical models to be modeled using either RevitArchitecture, Revit Structure, Revit MEP or Civil 3D.404.3.18 <strong>DIA</strong>’s BIM Provides SSI Data Coordination, Integrity & SecurityThe “I” for “Information” in BIM is what sets BIM apart from 2D CAD. The components within a BIM arethemselves intelligent. For example, a BIM HVAC unit has imbedded data fields (called “parameters”) thatcan control its size, air flow, cost, maintenance schedule and O+M data. These components are minidatabases within the larger graphical database.<strong>DIA</strong>’s preferred parameter data software program is called CodeBook and is produced by DataNorimalization Tools. Each <strong>DIA</strong> building will include a CodeBook database linked to the graphic models.The Data Normalization Tool will manage all the asset components and their parameter data outside thegraphical database. CodeBook allows bidirectional flow of parameter data to and from the Revit and Civil3D models. Since the bulk of the parameter data resides outside the graphic model within CodeBook, thegraphical models are smaller in size and easier to maintain.404.3.19 SSI Collaboration in Practice404.3.20 SSI BIM & Data Collaboration OverviewThe <strong>DIA</strong> SSI BIM & Data Collaboration is a set of alternate processes that can provide increased securityof SSI information provided to aid in the creation, organization and delivery of SSI BIM projects.

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 5 – SUBSURFACE UTILITIES DATA STANDARDCHAPTER 5SUBSURFACE UTILITIES DATA STANDARDSECTION 501 - REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSUFACE UTILITY DATA<strong>Denver</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> has embarked on a robust program to collect sub-surface utility engineeringsurveys for all airport construction projects. All construction projects that expose the location of subsurfaceutilities needs to accurately capture the location and provide the data to the Planning & DesignDivision. Construction plans should indicate when sub-surface utilities are to be uncovered and/or newutilities installed and coordinate with the <strong>DIA</strong> Survey Department for the collection of all utility data prior tobeing covered. The <strong>DIA</strong> Survey Department will be responsible for the collection of utility data including<strong>Denver</strong> Water and Excel Energy utilities, but notification to the <strong>DIA</strong> Project Manager and <strong>Airport</strong> SurveyOffice is required by contractor three business days before items are uncovered. As-built CADD and GISdata submitted to <strong>DIA</strong> shall contain all sub-surface utility locations and attributes in CADD and GIS formatas outlined in this document.501.1 Utility Quality Level AttributesThe American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) developed standard guidelines for the collection anddepiction of existing subsurface utility information, Standard Guidelines for the Collection and Depiction ofExisting Subsurface Utility Data (ASCE/C-I 38-02), by the civil engineering profession, the FHWA, ASCE,AGC, and other national organizations. The guideline breaks down utility collection into four separatelevels of confidence. The initial field collection and mapping for most airports is Quality Level (QL) D.These four separate levels of confidence are as follows:501.2 Utility ResearchQuality Level "D" - Existing Records: Results from review of available records. It givesoverall "feel" for congestion of utilities, but is highly limited in terms ofcomprehensiveness and accuracy. For projects where route selection is an option, thisQuality Level is useful when combined with cost estimates for utility relocations followingapplicable "clear zone" and other accommodation policies.Quality Level "C" - Surface Visible Feature Survey: QL "D" information for existingrecords is augmented using surface visible feature survey and digitizing data intoComputer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) drawings. The danger here is that much ofthe data is "digitized fiction." There may be as much as a 15-30% error and omission ratein QL "C" information.Quality Level "B" - Designating: Two-dimensional horizontal mapping. Obtain thisinformation through surface geophysical methods. It is highly useful for design basisinformation for conceptual design and for proceeding prudently to QL "A". Do not use thislevel for design basis vertical information or where exacting horizontal tolerances areexpected.Quality Level "A" - Locating: Three-dimensional points of conflict. This is the highestlevel of accuracy of subsurface utility engineering data. It provides horizontal and verticaldesign basis information for engineering, construction, maintenance, remediation,condition assessment, and related efforts.Utility Research is important before setting out to capture utility data. Prior to beginning thedesignation work, the contractor should contact the utility owners (Xcel Energy, <strong>Denver</strong> Water,Planning & Development Division) known to be within the project limits. The contractor shouldask for all record information within the project limits and specifically ask to speak to thePlanning & Development Division to identify utility projects completed but not depicted in the<strong>12</strong>-5-1 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-5-1


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 5 – SUBSURFACE UTILITIES DATA STANDARDutility owners’ records section. The contractor is to prepare a utility record log per ASCEstandards, and maintain records for future reference. Review the record information for thefollowing:• Material type joining procedures that will influence equipment selection.• Amount of utilities to be expected, which will influence number and phasing of personnelassigned to the project.• Local geology/soil conditions if data is available, which may influence equipmentselection.• Number and type of access points, such as manholes, etc., which will influence safetyprocedures.• Expected depth of utilities, which will influence equipment selection. Presence of rebar orother paving characteristics, affecting the methods/procedures/equipment.• Advise the project owner regarding potential effects that the project may have on existingsubsurface utilities.• Inform the project owner regarding utility quality levels and reliability of data for eachquality level. Such information may include a discussion of costs and benefits associatedwith obtaining quality levels.• Recommend a scope for utility investigations dependent on project needs. This mayinclude a list of the types of utilities for detection and depiction and the desired utility dataquality level. It may include certain systems to be investigated and depicted at a lowerquality level. It may include geographic sections of the project to have utilitiesinvestigated and depicted at various quality levels.• Discuss and recommend formatting of deliverables to clearly distinguish quality levels.• Discuss the sequence of acquiring appropriate quality level data throughout the planningand design process. This is dependent on project design elements, design timetables,the type of project, the criticality of utility service, and so forth.• Prepare a utility composite drawing or file with appropriate supporting documents, inaccordance with owner specification, that clearly identifies utilities at their desired qualitylevels at the appropriate time within project development. The deliverable may containutilities depicted at quality levels A, B, C, and/or D.• Review data with utility owners.• Review plans as design develops to analyze the effects of design changes to currentutility information.• Recommend areas or particular utility systems for a “quality level” upgrade after review.Such an upgrade may be to quality level C, B, or A.• Follow applicable one-call statutes or other applicable laws.• Place a note on the plans explaining the different utility “quality levels.”<strong>12</strong>-5-2 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-5-2


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 5 – SUBSURFACE UTILITIES DATA STANDARD• Affix an engineer’s stamp on the plans that depict existing subsurface utility data at theindicated quality levels.• Discuss utility accommodation and utility relocation policies.501.3 Field Utility LocatesConducting field utility locates require geophysical locating equipment and methods (combinedwith existing utility records and field observations), the marks that designate the utility on thesurface of the ground can be preformed. If the utility changes horizontal direction, but has nophysical aperture at that point, every standard of care of the subsurface utility engineeringprofession will be taken to designate the point at which the utility ‘bends’ or changes direction.The temporary utility paint marks on the ground will follow the Utility Location and CoordinationCouncil Uniform Color Codes. While the utility designating is taking place, the survey crew willsimultaneously be collecting data for the utility features and the temporary paint marks over theutility line. The temporary utility paint marks on the ground will follow the Utility Location andCoordination Council Uniform Color Codes as shown below:501.4 Sub-Surface Utility Engineering Test HolesUse of Sub-Surface Utility Engineering Test Holes are required of certain projects that requiredetailed high quality data such as vertical depths/elevations and condition assessments,complete Quality Level A testhole services. Digitally photograph the testhole sites before andafter the testhole operations. For Quality Level A data, provide a certification form in addition tothe plotted position of the utility with additional information. This certification informationincludes:• Horizontal and vertical location of top and/or bottom of utility referenced to project datum,• Elevation of existing grade over utility at test hole referenced to project datum,• Outside diameter of utility and configuration of non-encased, multi-conduit systems,• Utility structure material composition, when reasonably ascertainable,• Benchmarks and/or project control used to determine elevations,• Paving thickness and type, where applicable,• General soil type and site conditions, and other pertinent information as is reasonablyascertainable from each test hole site.<strong>12</strong>-5-3 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-5-3

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 6 – METADATA STANDARD602.2 GIS Metadata CollectionThe <strong>DIA</strong> EGIS metadata standards described in this document are based on two widely acceptedmetadata standards, the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata from the U.S. FederalGeographic Data Committee (FGDC), and the Geographic information – Metadata standard from the<strong>International</strong> Organization for Standardization (ISO). Each has been refined to be compatible with theEGIS data structure, which is based on the U.S. CADD/GIS Technology <strong>Center</strong>’s Spatial Data Standardsfor Facilities, Infrastructure and the Environment (SDSFIE). Together, these standards have been adaptedso as to satisfy EGIS requirements. The remainder of this section provides background information abouteach of these standards.According to the FGDC’s Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata 1:“The standard was developed from the perspective of defining the information required by a prospectiveuser to determine the availability of a set of geospatial data, to determine the fitness of the set ofgeospatial data for an intended use, to determine the means of accessing the set of geospatial data, andto successfully transfer the set of geospatial data. As such, the standard establishes the names of dataelements and compound elements to be used for these purposes, the definitions of these data elementsand compound elements, and information about the values that are to be provided for the data elements.”This standard was originally circulated in 1994; has been widely implemented by spatial data developers inU.S. government, non-profit, and private organizations; and has served as the basis for metadatastandards adopted by many other national standards bodies around the world. Because the FGDCstandard is implemented and understood widely within the U.S. community of GIS users, it is the modelthat is being utilized for the <strong>DIA</strong> EGIS Metadata Standards.The FGDC metadata standards have been upgraded to assure compatibility with the ISO-19115 metadatastandard which is what FAA AC 150/5300-18B is based on. To assure future compatibility, FGDCmetadata elements have been cross-referenced with their equivalent ISO elements, and ISOimplementation specifications have been used wherever possible.<strong>DIA</strong> EGIS program is requiring high-level metadata for GIS data submittals by outside agencies andcontractors. Tables 602.2-1 through 602.2-3 describe what metadata is required for GIS submittals to <strong>DIA</strong>.<strong>12</strong>-6-7 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-6-7

Text field GIS DataExceptions allowed if GISdata was not developed bysubmitting agency – thisshould be noted bysubmitter602.2.1 Entity Level MetadataThe next level of metadata within <strong>DIA</strong> will be tracked at the entity level. This provides the requiredfunctionality of describing each airport asset independently. A specific water valve, for instance, may haveupdated data, causing its metadata to be different than that for other valves in the system. Similarly, thisflexibility allows a grouping of assets within a given area to be updated to reflect new construction. Afterthe update, the entities within this area would bear different metadata than similar entities in other areas.With flexibility, however, comes a cost. The cost of storing metadata at this level comes in the form ofstorage space and redundancy. Table 602.2-2 lists metadata elements to be tracked at the entity level.<strong>12</strong>-6-8 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-6-8

This allows users to make changes to specificattributes contained within a record that describes a specific entity. For example, if a maintenancetechnician physically examines a feature such as a wastewater line and determines that its status isabandoned, a record of who made this observation and when it was made should be tracked in themetadata. The technician, however, did not make any observation about the depth of the wastewater line,which may need to be measured by a surveyor. Metadata must be tracked at the attribute level to clarifywhich piece of information was indeed changed based on the technician’s observation. Table 602.2-3 listsmetadata elements that will be recorded at the attribute level. At any point in time the values of eachmetadata element will relate to the current value of the attribute.<strong>12</strong>-6-9 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-6-9

This includes changes to both an entity’s geometryand each of its relevant attributes. This will not be accomplished as a part of the current, valid metadatarecord itself, but will instead be captured in a log table. This will allow the history of a particular attribute tobe captured beyond just the last value, in effect providing an audit trail associated with each modifiedentity or attribute. This log will track all changes to a given entity or attribute back to when it was firstentered into the <strong>DIA</strong>-EGIS.As an example of how this log will work, consider a given attribute such as the diameter of a water pipethat is entered into the <strong>DIA</strong>-EGIS. Later, a maintenance technician in the field may observe that thediameter is in fact different than the value entered into <strong>DIA</strong>-EGIS. A user authorized to make attributechanges to water pipes should then make this change. Once the change is committed (i.e. saved to thedatabase) the <strong>DIA</strong>-EGIS system will record a log entry indicating that that particular user made a changeto the diameter attribute for that water pipe record in the database. The log entry will capture the formervalue, but not the new value since it will be stored within the attribute table itself.<strong>12</strong>-6-10 Revision 20<strong>12</strong> <strong>12</strong>-6-10

MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 6 – METADATA STANDARDSECTION 605 - FAA REQUIRED METADATA605.1 MetadataMetadata is information about the data itself, such as its source, accuracy, and the dates during which itis valid. Metadata values take the form of alphanumeric descriptors of the data and in this way are verysimilar to attributes. For clarity and because they are stored separately, metadata descriptors are referredto in this standard as metadata elements and not as attributes.Metadata elements can be applied at various levels of data aggregation. They can describe a collection ofdata submitted at one time. A collection may comprise one or more drawings containing several layers,such as those making up an <strong>Airport</strong> Layout Plan; several individual shape files each representing a layer;a single layer stored in a drawing or shape file; or any other combination of allowable data sets. Metadataelements can also describe all geometry and attributes on a given layer or feature type, as is the casewith traditional FGDC-compliant metadata. This level of metadata applies if different layers within acollection have different metadata. Next, metadata elements can describe a given feature instance. Thislevel applies when individual features or groups of features within a layer have different metadata. Finally,they can describe the geometry and each attribute of a given feature instance separately.For this standard, metadata is required at the collection level when data is submitted. The standard alsoaccommodates metadata elements at the feature type, feature instance, and attribute levels. Moredetailed metadata increases the usefulness of the data provided. Accordingly, data providers areencouraged to submit metadata at the most detailed level possible.Metadata elements have different levels of aggregation.This standard uses metadata elements defined by <strong>International</strong> Standards Organization’s (ISO)Geographic Information–Metadata Standard (ISO 19115). Of the 409 elements defined in ISO 19115,only 29 are used by this standard because many of the elements defined in ISO are classified as optionalor conditional and do not apply to this standard. Furthermore, some of the mandatory elements in the ISOstandard are redundant with the specifications of this standard and are therefore not necessary for dataexchange. For example, the security classification code is a mandatory ISO element, but since thisstandard sets the classification code based on the feature type, it is not necessary to convey the securityclassification code in metadata. Table 605.1-1 lists each metadata element used in this standard alongwith the level of applicability.<strong>12</strong>-6-22 Revision 2011 <strong>12</strong>-6-22

With changes in technology, itis possible for data to become outdated. Accordingly, spatial data needs to carry an indication of the timeperiod for which it is valid. An aircraft’s location along a flight path might only be valid for a moment,whereas the existence of a runway might be valid from when it was authorized for use until further notice.This standard defines the beginning and ending date and the time for which each feature instance isvalid. All features must carry a beginning date (i.e. data is valid until further notice), an ending date (i.e.the data expires at a specified time) or both (i.e. the data is valid only during the period specified). Datesand times should be recorded based on Aeronautical Information Regulation and Control (AIRAC)requirements defined in ICAO Annex 15–Aeronautical Information Services (AIS).<strong>12</strong>-6-23 Revision 2011 <strong>12</strong>-6-23


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 6 – METADATA STANDARD605.3 AccuracyOne metadata element particularly important to airport GIS applications is accuracy. “Accuracy” is broadlydefined as the quality of nearness to the true value. For the exchange of data as specified in thisstandard, it is important to be more specific. This standard, therefore, provides limits for the absolutehorizontal positional accuracy of each feature type. These limits are described as a maximum number offeet (or metric equivalent) between a feature’s actual position and the position indicated in the dataprovided. The actual position is defined as the feature’s true location on the specified datum or ellipsoid.Furthermore, the difference between a feature’s true and recorded positions is required at a 95 percentconfidence level. This means that statistically, 95 percent or more of the features provided fall within therequired accuracy limit.For some features types, vertical accuracy limits are also provided. These accuracies are expressed asthe maximum number of feet a feature’s recorded elevation can differ from its actual elevation. Since theearth’s surface has many variations, it is approximated by what is referred to as a GEOID, with the actualelevation measured from the GEOID elevation at that location. Elevations are also provided at a 95percent confidence level.The driving factor in accuracy requirements relates to how the data is used. The location of an airport ona map used for aircraft navigation must be much more accurate than its location on a national map ofairports intended for informational purposes. This standard provides accuracy guidelines for maps usedfor many airport and aeronautical functions. The accuracy guidelines provided in this standard are derivedfrom several sources and compiled here for standardization. Further information on accuracy definitionsand methods to assess the accuracy of existing data can be found in FGDC’s Geospatial PositioningAccuracy Standards, Part 3: National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (FGDC-STD-007.3-1998).605.4 Security Sensitivity LevelsAnother important metadata element is sensitivity level. Because spatial data can be used for nefariouspurposes, it is important to protect it from unauthorized users. The Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,Part 1520, defines Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and how it should be protected. Based on thisdefinition, many forms of spatial data are considered SSI. Protecting sensitive spatial data is therefore notjust good practice - it is the law. However, being too protective of data can unnecessarily limit itsusefulness. The challenge is to restrict data to users having an operational need to know and whosecredentials the data provider has qualified. With spatial data this challenge is particularly complexbecause there is such a wide variety of data users and ways in which they need to use the data. One ofthe more efficient ways of restricting access to spatial data is to apply specific restrictions at the featuretype81 AC 150/5300-18B 05/21/2009 level. This standard applies one of the following sensitivity levels toeach feature type. These are based on classifications listed in the MD_ClassificationCode list in ISO19115.• Unclassified data is available for general disclosure.• Restricted data is not available for general disclosure.• Confidential data is available to persons who can be entrusted with the information.• Secret data is to be kept private, unknown, or hidden from all but a select group of people.• Top Secret data is of the highest secrecy restricting access to only those requiring access to performtheir jobs.Since sensitivity levels are established for each feature type by this standard it is not necessary to carrythis information (i.e. a classification code in ISO terminology) in the metadata itself.605.5 Coordinate SystemsWith the ability to provide spatial data in a variety of coordinate systems, datums, and units of measure, itis critical these elements are appropriately defined.END OF CHAPTER 6<strong>12</strong>-6-24 Revision 2011 <strong>12</strong>-6-24


MANUAL <strong>12</strong>: Engineering Data Systems (EDS)CHAPTER 7– CADD/GIS DATA SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTSCHAPTER 7CADD/GIS DATA SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTSSECTION 701 - GENERAL701.1 General Information and RequirementsThis specification applies to <strong>DIA</strong> projects which involve GIS and CADD data submittals to <strong>DIA</strong>. Datasubmittals are composed of spatial data, attributes related to the airport assets/features and metadata.These requirements address accuracy standards, coordinate system standards, data standards, fileformats, data deliverable procedures, quality assurance and media / compression.Files that require special applications, conversions, manipulations or mapping will not be acceptable.Specifically, any data that requires rubber sheeting to fit the data into a defined spatial location will not beallowed. Adherence to the standards and requirements in this section is mandatory. The <strong>DIA</strong> ProjectManager must approve any and all exceptions to these standards in writing. To facilitate this process it isrequired that the consultant contact the <strong>DIA</strong> Project Manager to insure that the consultant has the lateststandards.SECTION 702 - REQUIREMENTS FOR GIS/CADD DATA SUBMITTALS702.1 Accuracy Standards for Submitted Data<strong>DIA</strong> requires data accuracy standards at the engineering quality level for all as-built airport recorddrawings created. Unless otherwise stated in the contract, <strong>DIA</strong> requirements for accuracy are 0.10 fthorizontal accuracy and 0.10 ft vertical accuracy. <strong>DIA</strong> positional accuracy requirements often exceedFAA mandated accuracy requirements for features contained in AC150/5300-18B Chapter 5. If theconsultant/contractor is unable to meet <strong>DIA</strong> engineering survey accuracy of 0.10ft, the contractor mustmeet minimum FAA mandated accuracy requirements contained in AC150/5300-18B Chapter 5. Theconsultant/contractor must notify the <strong>DIA</strong> Project Manager of all deviations in accuracy standards thatdepart from 0.10 ft vertical/horizontal and then reference the feature(s) involved, explain the reason forthe deviation and an estimated accuracy level that can be achieved.702.2 Coordinate System StandardsConsultant/contractor must provide GIS/CADD data to <strong>DIA</strong> in <strong>DIA</strong> Low Distortion Projection (LDP) only(see below for description). Contact the <strong>DIA</strong> Survey Office for a CD that contains calibration files, <strong>DIA</strong>survey control points and instruction on how to use <strong>DIA</strong> LDP coordinate system.Data obtained from other organization(s) must be obtained in Colorado State Plane Central ZoneCoordinate System (see below for description) or Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) (see below fordescription). Data provided by <strong>DIA</strong> to FAA will be delivered in GCS NAD83 (2007) or converted to othercoordinate system if requested by FAA.1.

If rejected, <strong>DIA</strong>Project Manager provides reasoning for failure citing applicable <strong>DIA</strong> Standards/Policies. ForCADD and or GIS data that fails any of the conformance QA checks performed by <strong>DIA</strong>, theconsultant/contractor is required to resubmit the data after errors have been fixed for a secondround of QA by <strong>DIA</strong> staff. Failure to comply with <strong>DIA</strong>’s published standards and submittalspecifications shall result in a penalty to the consultant/contractor. This penalty shall be definedby the project agreement/contract.703.3 Construction Phase (As-Builts)As-built drawings are required in Division 1 and as a part of the General Contract Conditions. The intentof timely as-built data is to reflect the completed project with all updates and changes so that they can beincorporated into the FAA required electronic <strong>Airport</strong> Layout Plan (eALP)/ AGIS program, <strong>DIA</strong> GISdatabase, BIM facility models and <strong>DIA</strong> document archives. For AIP funded projects, the FAA requires that<strong>DIA</strong> provide as-built data to the FAA based on the FAA standards prior to project closeout based upon theschedule defined within the AIP/LOI. For non AIP/PFC funded projects, changes to the ALP are requiredto reflect as-built conditions when the project is planned for the future (design stages under futuredevelopment-either submitted through 7460 or as a standalone informal ALP update to ADO) AND toreflect current as-built conditions after project is completed (either formal ALP update or informal ALPupdate with cover letter explaining changes to ALP document).9. The <strong>DIA</strong> Project Manager and/or airport Configuration Management Committee (CMC) membermeets with consultant/contractor and briefs him/her on the standards and general requirementsfor both data and spatial conformance related to the project on hand.
