By 2007, I was introduced to BIM and started to prefer 3D modelling over 2D. This means there's no longer any doubt over where the latest version of a document is or whether we're working from the most up-to-date drawing. A big focus for us is upskilling my team to work on 3D models so that we can explore designs together better.

The shop drawing is a drawing or collection of set of drawings, diagrams, illustrations, schedules, and other data or information specifically generated or assembled by the contractor, supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, or fabricator to demonstrate some portion of the work for the approval of architect or engineer.

For the structural engineer, C16 needs to be square. They may have reached a compromise by now, that had not get onto the drawings yet. Petty these drawings have been issued as IFC. If there was a model earlier in the piece this would not have been an issue. I look at C16 and think ‘clash detection.’

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 doesn’t model ductwork, they use the mechanical engineer’s model.

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.
