Model Geometry

  Enroll in Course

This course provides guidance on how to create clean, simple models of the building architecture natively in the VE, or import model geometry as an integral part of the design process.

The geometry that you create is automatically referenced by all areas within the VE, for many different analyses, simulations and compliance or rating system evaluations. This building analysis model is used for simulations, to predict performance, or evaluate the metrics to propose design improvements.

This course will take you step by step through how to create accurate building models in the VE, with integrated tests and tasks to follow along.

You will learn how to:

  • Quickly create clean, simple geometry, for simulations that avoid errors and run faster.
  • Edit geometry that you have created or imported
  • Assign openings at different levels of detail
  • Import .dxf files to guide geometry creation
  • Create space groups to improve data assignment and management in other stages
  • Run a model check
  • Save and archive models

The first series of lessons is certified for 1 CPD hour.

The following lessons cover:

  • Different methods to create geometry
  • Different approaches to creating geometry for different tasks
  • Different options for adding or editing glazing / openings
  • The importance of zoning for different types of analysis and for compliance
  • Workflow hints to avoid repetitive tasks and maximise productivity in the VE
