I was musing about a recent conversation where one guys position was that BIM is hype, unnecessary and worse really just being foisted upon our profession in a scheme to get more money from "us". It seems to me this notion of using Revit (BIM) and "us" isnt all that different. Meanwhile, autodesk provides dismal documentation.

Daryl wrote on Monday that the concept of View Discipline isnt documented well. Software documentation tends to be a bit dry, too often a very literal, "Un-checking this turns the feature off". Daryl used plan views as his example of how the help documentation isnt accurate. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc. View Discipline.

In 2006 I demonstrated (at Autodesk University) the then new line based family type by explaining how we could use it to document egress path requirements also known as exiting plans. Defining the requirements for documenting exiting are naturally going to affect the success of any solution we try to provide. Egress Path Options.

One curious thing that is documented at the WikiHelp site regarding these new view types , changing a view from one type to another does not actually apply the view template change that is assigned (if any) to the view. Tip: Theyve added View Template to the available fields in View Lists (schedule) so it can be managed there too.

We will still be able to compare our model against 2D documentation by importing various 2D CAD views into the model. Just try creating a model using only 2D documents as the guide.

Area plans could help document such things but then floor plans would be "ignorant" of what these kinds of "areas" are, no tagging possible, just "dumb text". They are documenting what is dedicated to what and identifying them using the feature as intended by the developers. Blog Listing - BIM and Misc. Not ideal either.
