I get regular updates through my FB page on how the big event of The Hong Kong Institute of Building Information Modelling (HKIBIM) planned for the 13 th of December is shaping up. In the end, they are ‘just’ a software provider, successful at what they are doing, why can’t I just let them be. What is my problem with Autodesk?

We have Autocad, we have Sketch-Up, we have Revit, and all the various permutations thereof. Outside of being clumsy, the other issue with some of these tools is cost, Codebook for example doesnt work as a business model for small projects, unless youve got the big project(s) to cut your teeth on it and standardize it.

build your as-built model in the existing phase. Once an as-built model is done you might want to archive a copy of the model just incase the design scope changes and you have to start all over again with a clean as-built. The model builder is going to have to do partial demolition of walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, etc.

Digital Drafting Whether you liked AutoCAD, MicroStation, or whatever. (I We still drafted, but with digital lines. Instead of digital lines, new entities called objects were introduced on the AutoCAD platform that contained specific properties to the object type. A Revit project has only one model. Digital lines.

In high school, I was interested in drafting and blueprints. Not in a bad way, just that as time evolves, I think executives and companies are going to have a better understanding of what it takes to do the detailing, drafting, modeling, and all the other BIM-related steps to complete a project. That was on January 10, 1999.

BIM If you are wanting to switch to Revit Systems because you are feeling pressure to complete a BIM model, Keep in mind, nobody can agree to what the Hell a BIM model is. At this stage delivering HVAC and electrical content in model form for interference detection is a real bonus and a valid expectation. Scheduling, Phasing.).

When Revit Systems was released in 2006, the essence of Autodesks marketing commentary was, "this is new software so it probably doesnt make sense to tackle a project with it unless the architecture team is using Revit too." Why assume that there is no value in creating a model of the MEP scope of work even if the architect doesnt use Revit?

Revit Systems debuted early this year giving MEP engineers a third choice of CAD technology to use; it may have also caused a bit of confusion on what software is really the best for any given firm. No matter what software you are using, they fall into three general categories: digital drafting, object oriented and parametric.

When you have a large project and you want multiple users editing a project at the same time you have to impliment Worksets because Revit typically keeps all project data in a single project file unlike Autocad where we typically separate the project into multiple files. All of your model objects will initially reside in Workset 1.
