Level Up Design and Coordination Workflows with Accessible Reality Capture 

Autodesk Construction Cloud

For starters, you’re dealing with an old structure without CAD files and limited documentation. Being able to track progress on-site provides a visual account of what was done in each phase of the project using laser scan snapshots. It’s an exciting project, but it also comes with a host of challenges.

The “I” in BIM, OMNICLASS, and the Criticality of Getting it RIGHT…. Now!

Building Information Management

In order to efficiently manage the life-cycle of the build environment, robust process, terms, and decision support tools are required that deal with physical and functional conditions, costs, priorities, risks, etc. Progress towards compiling new abbreviations to submit to the United States National CAD Standard® consensus process.

Behind the Build: Interview with Justin Lipsey, VDC Technical Leader, SSOE

Autodesk Construction Cloud

A VDC rotation slot happened to open up, and at that time I didn’t really know a great deal about VDC. We also want to better visualize that kind of information in a palatable way for our users. . Then empower them through the use of data to visualize the end goal. . I just had a very broad idea of what it was. .

The lifecycle of a detail – BIM and butterflies

DebunkTheBIM

In the past, I tried to use all sorts of parallels to explain this idea, from the ideas of visual skeletons, to coatracks fixed in space, but I still find myself meeting blank stares when I try sharing this as the ‘BIG secret’. That sentence I just wrote, is a mouthful, but do read it again.

don't think: Do Revit: The gag order is lifted!! Its 2012 Time!

Do

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. Revamp of CAD export dialog, most importantly settings are stored in the project now, so no more custom export files, except to define specific standards to be used for different clients/jobs.

How long should it take to build a ‘functioning’ BIM team from scratch?

DebunkTheBIM

It could really be true, that I overthink things far too much and it is really not a big deal to get a working BIM going, after all. Now, that she had successfully pulled together a ‘fully functioning BIM team’ in a record time, her willingness to listen to my troubles is even lower. I really don’t mind this at all, she may well be right.

OMNICLASS vs. UNICLASS / UNICLASS2 – BIM Ontology

Building Information Management

We can’t rely on this mapping being delivered through the geometrical part of BIM (CAD) since many systems and products are not modelled geometrically at all. It has a construction phase focus, and so has no homes for the specification of high-level objects such as Complexes, so it can’t deal with early project stages.
