this course

What is IDS?

Information Delivery Specification (IDS) is a buildingSMART standard for specifying and checking simple information requirements from IFC models. This course will give you a better understanding on how IDS can improve your BIM process. 

Why IDS?

IDS ensures that the right information is delivered to the right stakeholders at the right time. After this course you will have a better understanding on why IDS is a crucial standard that facilitates accurate and consistent data exchange in BIM projects.

IDS Creation in BIMcollab Nexus

Discover the process of making, importing, and exporting IDS within your BIMcollab Nexus ecosystem. You can then effortlessly integrate these IDS specifications into BIMcollab Zoom and Revit BCF manager for precise validation and seamless implementation.

IDS implementation in Revit

You can unlock the power of IDS in a BCF Manager as you master effective model modifications, enabling compliance with IDS requirements for seamless IFC exports.

IDS property validation in BIMcollab Zoom

You will explore how IDS enhance data exchange and validation in BIMcollab Zoom. Learn to integrate IDS into your workflow, validate models, and ensure compliance with project requirements. 

Creating issues from Missing or incorrect properties

Last but not least, you will have the ability to report these absent specifications as issues and engage across the entire BIMcollab ecosystem. This integration forms a cohesive communication flow within BIM projects, ultimately elevating the overall quality of your models.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know this course is right for me?

If you're a BIM Manager, Architect, Engineer, Construction Manager, or involved in BIM projects, this course equips you with vital skills to enhance data exchange, validation, and collaboration through Information Delivery Specifications (IDS). Take a look at our course overview to see what this course covers. 

Do I need a BIMcollab Nexus space for this course?

Yes, having a BIMcollab Nexus space is needed for this course. While the course focuses on utilizing IDS in the BIMcollab ecosystem, having access to a BIMcollab space will allow you to practice and implement the concepts effectively. If you do not have access to a private BIMcollab Nexus space and your team is interested in testing the IDS feature, you can setup a Free BIMcollab Space which includes a 30 day BIMcollab Nexus trial.

Do I need a paid BIMcollab Zoom license for this course?

Yes. IDS check is a part of the conflicts tab that is available with a paid BIMcollab Zoom license. If you do not have a license, you can always sign up for a 30 day trial here.

Is there homework to complete? 

There is no homework or assignments. However, you will be required to pass at least 1 test, depending on the module you wish to study,  to receive the certificate of knowledge.  

What happens if I fail the exam?

To pass the exam, you need a grade of 80% or higher. If you fail, you may continue to study and take it as many times as you need. 

How long will I have access to the course material?

This course (and further updates) will be available to you as long as the course is available in our academy. 

What do I need to get started?

- A BIMcollab ID to register and sign into the learning platform.
- A BIMcollab Zoom license (or trial)
- A connection to a private BIMcollab Nexus space (or trial)
- BIMcollab Nexus course
