S02 Check Spatial distribution of BIM elements – quality control
To make sure that each element is correctly positioned on correct floor in the model, it's recommended to set up a Custom Breakdown Structure.
You can do this by following steps bellow:

Activate the Custom Breakdowns palette on the left side of the screen
1.Click on the arrow beside the New command and choose the Blank Custom Breakdown… option
2.In the Create Custom Breakdown window, define the name of the structure
3. Under the Type choose option Buildings and check the box in front of the listed buildings
Click on the Use Selection button
Click on the Add Breakdown Rule and in the drop-down menu choose option Group by Building Level
4.Finish the process by clicking OK.

Notes
Completing these steps will help you
systematically check and confirm
that elements are where they
should be in the model.

This will ultimately help improve the


overall efficiency of your work

Tips and tricks – Copy to children

By specifying the "copy to children" feature of a standard relation, it will


be transferred to the lowest outline level of generated schedule.
It's important to note that all zones on which we want to perform location-
based optimization (floors, phases, subzones) should be located under the
methodology level in the Schedule Creation Template Hierarchy.

In this way user is able to generate detailed location-based optimal


construction schedules with a large number of tasks and relationships by
specifying relationship on a higher level and transferring it to the lowest
schedule-organization level.
Constructive relations
Another important functionality that is a part of Copy to
children relations is an option to label certain relations
as Constructive and define Constructive Offset. This defines that some
activities cannot start before some other activity is completed, even
though that activity is within a different construction zone or level. (For
example, Constructive relation prevents the floor slab on a second floor
from being executed before beams on the first floor are completed).

In this case, Constructive Offset will be set as 1 in the finish start


relation between beams and slabs, which means slab execution can
start only after beams in the previous level are completed, which means
that the relation between construction zones (in this case levels) has an
offset and establishes a relation between different zones which is not
the case in regular Copy to children relation.

S11 Create Zones - based on Spatial Structure

The spatial distribution of the construction process must be properly scheduled on every project. Zones are typically divided into Buildings (if they consist of more than one
Building), Storeys (Building levels), and Construction sequence – Phases (if it is needed). In this example we are showing Creation of zones based on building levels.
