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. Then, there is the ‘trace and reference’ command to assist with colours, opacity and the magic slider for interrogation purposes!

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?’. Revit is the King of BIM!’.

When discussing BIM with those yet to take it up the topic of Intellectual Property invariably comes up. It is so important to them it comes across as a major reason they are not using BIM (although I suspect it is more of an excuse). IP and BIM PROCESS.

Project commissioning, also referred to as Cx, is a series of milestones that includes the testing of systems, materials, and staff who will be operating the systems. Much like shipbuilding, the process involves a series of documenting, scheduling, and testing processes. Why is Project Commissioning Important?

The British Government got it all wrong with regards to its plan to use BIM to fix-up its ailing AEC industry. Most of BIM commentators, even those a bit remote from that particular market and ones that are normally prepared to be a bit cynical of ‘artificially pumped up BIM hype’ appear to find this government’s actions to be all positive.

BIM objects are much more than just graphical representations. All BIM objects have properties, and most also have geometries (although some do not, for example a paint finish). The specification is part of the project BIM, and objects live in the specification. ‘A new generation of specifiers is being empowered by BIM.

There is a new tide of BIM promoters roaming the AEC. With cocky attitude and high level of confidence they promote various forms of ‘Conveyor belt BIMs’, full of digi-jargon and flow charts. Something specially bothers me in what they are doing to AEC: They constantly refer to ‘2D design’. Guilty by choice of the tool?
