Engineers with access to CAD software and BIM data were working relatively efficiently, but those without access were continually recreating data. The draftsman would model it and create a schedule. The benefit of implementing BIM 360 and Autodesk Construction Cloud is that they have native access to the Revit model.

Then comes the eager BIM modeller and screams with joy as she overlays the see-through plans on her digital light-table: A discrepancy! There is a code on the structural drawing that can be tracked to the schedule and the dimensions are noted. The columns are not aligned on the two images, out by a bit. She writes an RFI!

Eddie and Tyler currently run a Building Information Modeling (BIM) company called ABSI and bring their rich industry knowledge and friendly personalities to the show each week. The duo talk about a ton of interesting and relevant topics for construction managers, like managing clients, dealing with underperforming trades, and QA/QC.

And I mean, everything, getting IFC drawings, as-builts, shop-drawings, or magical, know it all 3-7D (+) models. People that devise sophisticated BIM workflows spend a lot of time, trying to line up the above participants and force them to use one, or at least a small number of fully-integrated and compatible models.

For some reason BIM authors (architects, engineers, etc) think that because they create the initial BIM information they have the right to full control and to charge for the BIM model throughout the life of the building. The architect doesn’t model ductwork, they use the mechanical engineer’s model.

This post attempts to outline how a project will develop (understanding there are exceptions) when considering multiple firms/models and attempting to keep each model aligned both in Revit's model environment and relative to the site location and survey information. They import your model Auto-Origin to Origin.

In my opinion the phrase Building Information Modeling (BIM) was born in part because Autodesk desperately needed to differentiate ADT/ACA from Revit, at least as BIM is defined and expressed by Autodesk. Once code exists we are always dealing with legacy decisions. What if the Revit modelling activity helped inform the decisions?

This years release I would also say has a bent towards addressing issues that large projects (and therefore mostly large firms) have to deal with. Lastly 12 sees the release of new tool subset (currently only available in Architecture and Structure), we now have version 1 of "Construction Modeling" tools. Permission data is cleaned up.

This means that you could end up with many objects all over your model, that should theoretically look alike, but don't actually, because their properties have been overridden at the object level. Since we're dealing with detail components, I'm actually completely OK with having their graphic appearance be completly unmanaged.

The Document review process with design review looks roughly like this: Revit team exports sheets to DWF Open each sheet DWF file in DR Add markups and comments Save the file Revit team imports sheet markup files Deal with markups and comments Add responses if necessary Save their work in Revit which updates the DWF file too.

At the time they were advised by a particular software provider how to get into BIM and that quickly saw them part with enough cash to purchase a dozen of BIM-suites and train a matching dozen of BIM modellers by the same provider. I really don’t mind this at all, she may well be right.

A VDC rotation slot happened to open up, and at that time I didn’t really know a great deal about VDC. Now, you have Revit power users who do a majority of what a BIM manager used to do 10 or 15 years ago, managing templates, setting up models, etc. I just had a very broad idea of what it was. .

I had the good fortune to have Chuck Mies and Ed Deal from Autodesk in my office the other day and we were talking about sharing AutoCAD MEP data with a Revit Architecture model. Ed suggests individually exporting duct, pipe, cabletray, whatever to IFC, then importing those IFC into your Revit model.

These would then need to map to each other and to the Work Results Table, in order to properly integrate the specification component of the building information model (BIM) along the project timeline. Without these object classes we cannot produce a complete ‘building’ information model.
