Engineering firm Melia Smith & Jones uses SOFiSTiK software for 3D rebar modelling in Autodesk Revit. Most engineers still produce classic 2D reinforcement drawings using programs such as AutoCAD ® combined with CADS RC. This software provides automated bar marks, layers, bending schedules and more.”.

Or even if such programs exist and students are let loose to model, render and animate to their heart content, once they enter the industry, they get quickly shown the ‘real’ ropes. A good modeller will have plenty of opportunities to model, but rule number one is, that the ‘drawings’ are priority, what consultancies get paid for.

Simultaneously to rotating the cat-on-the-mat (digitally) round-and-round, I have been researching software that can convert PDFs to DWGs.

In the interim, BIM will be relegated to 3d visualization and an organic growth output of 2D CAD, vs. the process of efficiently managing the built environment supported by digital technology. The entire design and construction industry needs to rethink Lean in terms of overhauling entire project delivery 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.

A multi-dimensional tool, Building Information Modelling (BIM) involves generating a visual model of the building which also manages data about it, at the design stage, throughout the construction phase and during its working life. However, BIM goes beyond simply switching to new software. What is BIM? Introduction.

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. In doing so, the company wasted a significant amount of time and risked making costly mistakes. Communicating the value.

When Revit Systems was released in 2006, the essence of Autodesks marketing commentary was, "this is new software so it probably doesnt make sense to tackle a project with it unless the architecture team is using Revit too." Why assume that there is no value in creating a model of the MEP scope of work even if the architect doesnt use Revit?
