Exercise
1. Calculate Buildability Score for Wall System. 2. Calculate Buildability Score for Structural System. 3. Find % of windows that has the width and height of 1M (100mm) modular size.

Steps
1. Create the following Shared Parameters Buildability Category = Build_Type Labour Saving Index = LS Index

2
a. Open Shared Parameter dialog box Step 1, 2 and 3 b. Create a file to store Shared Parameters Step 4 This steps were required only for the first project. 4

Steps
c. Create New Parameter Group (Buildability) Step 5 d. Create New Parameter (Build_Type as Text) Step 6 e. Create New Parameter (LS Index as Number) Repeat Step 6

5

Steps
2. Create Project Parameters based on the shared parameters created in the previous steps

3
2

4 a. Open Project Parameter dialog

box Step 1, 2 and 3 b. Add Project Parameter Step 4

Steps
c. Select Shared Parameters created in the previous step Step 5, 6 and 7

5
6 7

Steps
c. Change the Parameter as Type Parameter Step 8 d. Link the Parameter to the Elements (Floors and Walls) under Categories List Step 9

Steps
3. Edit Type properties of walls and floors to add values for Build_Type and LS Index. Refer to COP for Buildable Design 2011 for the values.

Steps
4. Create Schedule to calculate Buildability Score for Wall System

Build_Type, and LS Index Parameters created in previous Steps. Length Default Parameter of Wall Percentage and BD Score Calculated values (Refer to Next Slide) 10

Steps

Percentage 1. Give a Name, 2. Choose Percentage 3. Choose a filed as Length and 4. By <Grand Total>

11

Steps

BD Score 1. Give a Name, 2. Choose Formula 3. Formula = 40 * Percentage over build type * LS Index

4. Create the Schedule for Floor to calculate Buildability Score for Structural System

Formula = 45 * Percentage * LS Index

Steps
5. Find the Modular Windows using Schedule

Default Parameters of Window Type, Width and Height Calculated Values and Formulas Mod Width Width - ((rounddown(Width / 100 mm)) * 100 mm) Mod Height Height - ((rounddown(Height / 100 mm)) * 100 mm) is Modular and(Mod Width = 0 mm, Mod Height = 0 mm) Non-Modular Count if(and(Mod Width = 0 mm, Mod Height = 0 mm), 0, 1)
