BIM Dimensions 101: 3D, 4D, 5D,6D, 7D, 8D, & Beyond

Autodesk Construction Cloud

A BIM dimension refers to the different levels of information or data integration within a BIM model. Think of it as the much more evolved version of the 2D drawing; while drawings consist of an X and Y-axis, 3D BIM adds another dimension: the Z-axis. Essentially, 3D BIM lets you create and visualize the building's design.

BIM based visual estimation with Quantity takeoff Software

Construction Cost Estimating

Quantities that have already included the estimate are represented by a dollar sign, and all the cost items are verified visually in the estimate with colors in the 3D view at any point. Data is transferred to any of the project management, or estimating systems, or amount produced as an Excel “spread sheet” file.

3D Color Coded Visualizations Make Progress Tracking Easier for Project Teams 

Autodesk Construction Cloud

Today’s teams have made great strides at creating rich BIM models that enable users to visualize a project in greater detail. The question is, are your construction teams fully leveraging this wealth of BIM data beyond the initial project phases? The amount and quality of data captured in the model during design is staggering.
