encouraging software tribalism) – here is a challenge: I’ll show you mine (Archicad marquee), you show me yours (spatial filtering device); I use the marquee a lot – to examine parts of the building I am interested in. That tells you a lot about my life I guess. Still, before you call me a hypocrite (i.e. What about you?

The long overdue third instalment of my ‘The role of PDFs in BIM’ trilogy Let me start with a long-winded explanation on, how this post is not supposed to be an argument based on the question of ‘why would one want to import one (or hundreds) of PDF file(s) into any working BIM model?’. Now, can I get on with exploring PDFs in BIM models?

This approach is somewhat surprising considering that in most contemporary construction contracts PDF’s as the digital representations of drawings have often higher standing than model files or even DWGs.

My contributions to my own blogs had been mooted to an almost full silence and I never upgraded to ArchiCAD 17, though I expect the launch of 18 to be soon. I now got myself a job that has nothing to do with BIM. I am staying away from most online or real-life BIM interest groups.

That could be changed with a 4-step process: Make the project truly paper free, make Caterpillar phones the official phones of the project, put Adobe into charge of all the data outputs (2D, 3D, 4D…) and link everything to a central model built by and on ArchiCAD. 10%, 20%, 90%? The emphasis is on the ‘real’.
