Still, that has not deterred me to consistently use the colour ‘red’ on my construction models as a warning sign, highlighting that an element is either under-defined or wrongly defined by the design consultants or others in charge of it. Model based communication supports this idea splendidly.

Archie is the cheap version of Archicad, customised for Contractors. Archie’s workspace is partitioned into 4 panels, each colour coded for easy navigation: Modelling and Coordination: the panel is white with the original-orange coloured grid of ArchiCAD (note spell!) where contractors model their buildings.

There is no perfect modelling package in AEC, all can do with a bit of Truvy type magic. Archicad has a little gadget within the Trace & Reference command that will allow you to split the screen and slide either up/down or sidewise. Neither could be called an absolute must but oh, so useful when one models at the construction end.

While the industry is currently fixated upon 3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, Bentely… they only represent components of a BIM solution. Collaboration – involvement of all stakeholders – Owners, AE’s, Contractors, Oversight Groups, Community … 2.
