And I mean, everything, getting IFC drawings, as-builts, shop-drawings, or magical, know it all 3-7D (+) models. Then, likely the pieces will be designed by a specialist subcontractor, who will prepare connection shop drawings for someone to approve. That sentence I just wrote, is a mouthful, but do read it again.

Same goes for an engineer, a CAD-die, a construction manager, QS, almost anyone working in the AEC. You’ll be cursed for crappy looking shop drawings and incorrect line-weights till you beat someone up. Or a CAD-die, QS or engineer. No justice for us. well, some architects also can.

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.

Awareness is one hurdle, not insurmountable, perhaps easier to resolve than a couple others, willingness to use it and the practical issues of reviewing full size paper versus on screen review. Obviously there is some reluctance to review drawings on screen, on the computer. Check out this VIDEO from their You Tube postings.

Some of you may be too young to remember life before cable, but I bet most can remember a time when your choice of CAD technologies was limited to one. The technology they all used was the same. These properties allow us to step away from layers for display control and give us a mechanism for linked scheduling of any object type.

This is where Building Information Modeling (BIM) comes into play, and BIM managers are the ones tasked with connecting teams and improving coordination between them.

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. The notion of using computers to help accomplish the broad goals of BIM is nearly as old as computers so it''s not a brand new idea.
