The structural engineer sizes the concrete column; the architect places it in the space. There is a code on the structural drawing that can be tracked to the schedule and the dimensions are noted. They both are confident to be following well established building-documenting practices.

It''s a fairly common practice to create separate floors for structure and finishes. The structural "layer" of a floor may actually be modeled by the structural consultant, assuming the structural engineer we are working with uses Revit and isn''t working directly in the same model with us (architecture bias in this post).

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 schedules doors, the hardware supplier adds to that schedule, they don’t create their own.

This is the third blog post in a series that discusses the advantages of working on concrete projects in a BIM process for structural engineers. Segmentation is dictated by engineering, architectural, or fabrication requirements, and its reinforcement is determined by the structural engineer.

His leadership helped Messer adopt and roll out Autodesk products, fundamentally enhancing their business model. As we know, construction teams go through a lot of paper—much of that is used to print drawings, mark up documents, and the like.

These conflicts, or “clashes,” arise when different design components, such as structural elements, HVAC systems, or electrical conduits, intersect or interfere with the buffer zone of another object. Architects, MEP engineers, and structural engineers often independently create models during the design process.

High-trust firms are half as likely to have problems linked to slow data exchanges and twice as confident about meeting their budgets and project schedules. Now, architects and structural engineers are working side by side with the general contractor. Twice as confident about meeting project schedules and budgets.

This week I needed to create some structure from the structural engineers AutoCAD plans since they were not using Revit. The way I got around the above mentioned error was to open a structural model I received from a different engineer on a different job. Revit MEP How to Create a Lighting Fixture Schedule.

For example, the detailed modelling of a toilet flush lever could include many facets and extrusions, and at the early stages of design generic objects have little need for very high levels of detail.
