I wanted to use phones and web browsers to acquire and sort BIM data directly from Revit models. I would like mechanical/plumbing in Revit MEP to have the same connection philosophy as Revit Structure using and analytical models. Just like a structural model, the beams and columns do not have to be connected to run structural analisys.

And this is exactly what we’ll discuss in this article. AR can also be used to showcase 3D models and even provide tours, giving clients a solid idea of what a building would look like before it’s built. These labels can then bring up text or even 3D models to communicate safety or hazard information. Construction training.

For starters, you’re dealing with an old structure without CAD files and limited documentation. Thanks to lower hardware costs and direct connections between tools, the process of creating usable 3D models from photos or laser scans is easier than ever. It’s an exciting project, but it also comes with a host of challenges.
