In 2015, Teacher Liu from BIM Architecture Network shared the outline for the National BIM Skill Level Examination Level 2 (Architecture major). This year, all three majors for the Level 2 exam—architecture, structure, and equipment—are open and tested simultaneously. Here, I will focus on the outline for the structural and equipment majors of the National BIM Skill Level Examination Level 2.
1. Structural Examination Outline
1. Engineering Drawing and BIM Modeling Environment Setup
Exam Points:
(1) Basic provisions of national drafting standards, including drawing size, format, scale, line types, fonts, and dimension annotation styles.
(2) Fundamental concepts and operations of BIM modeling software, such as configuring the modeling environment, project settings, defining coordinate systems, drawing elevations and grids, and command/data input.
(3) Selection of benchmark templates.
(4) Creation of template files, including parameters, families, views, rendered scenes, import/export, and print settings.
2. Creating Structural Families
Exam Points:
(1) Reference settings, such as establishing reference planes and defining origins.
(2) Shape creation techniques including stretching, blending, rotating, lofting, loft blending, and hollow shapes.
(3) Development of specific family files with parameterized data and components.
(4) Production skills for beams and columns families.
3. BIM Modeling of Structural Systems
Exam Points:
(1) Parametric BIM modeling of structural components including walls, slabs, columns, beams, stairs, roofs, foundations, and other elements.
(2) Construction of the complete building structural model.
(3) Using BIM attribute definition and editing to generate detailed technical indicator lists for the structural system.
4. Drawing Structural Construction Plans
Exam Points:
(1) Designing structural standard layers, including components such as walls, columns, doors and windows, roofs, floors, ceilings, and stairs.
(2) Construction of the overall structural model.
(3) Processing plan, elevation, and section views.
(4) Intelligent linking and automatic updating between BIM entities and drawings.
(5) When a BIM component changes, related components are automatically modified through intelligent associations.
(6) Automatic generation and updating of graphics and documents based on BIM changes.
(7) Using BIM attribute definition and editing to generate detailed technical indicator lists for structural construction drawings.
5. Creating Drawings
Exam Points:
(1) Creating detailed BIM property tables by extracting relevant model information, including component and material statistics for walls and columns.
(2) Producing design drawings and performing related operations.
(3) Defining drawing boundaries, borders, title blocks, and signature blocks.
(4) Adding attribute detail tables directly onto drawings.
6. Model File Management
Exam Points:
(1) Managing and operating model files.
(2) Importing and exporting model files.
(3) Understanding model file formats and converting between formats.
