don't think: Do Revit: Art & Science

Do

I particularly like how he separates "Architectural" drawing into three distinct categories. However, as an example, of where "electronic" is taking over for physical last year when I was the project architect and I had to send "sketches" to our structural engineer, what did I do? Revit Zone. What are your thoughts?

Current and Future Use of BIM – 2013 – UK

Building Information Management

A designer’s primary interest is for example the spatial structure, a structural engineer’s primary interest is the load bearing structure, while an energy engineer is interested in climate zones. The first documented use of the term BIM can be dated back to 1992 (van Nederveen & Tolman).

BIM for Reinforced Concrete – From Design to Detailing in One Model

BIM & Beam

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.

BIM Generic Content – UK

Building Information Management

Aside from the dimensions of the objects themselves we have further considered their relationship to other objects and zones of clearance. However, when assembled to make an accessible WC package, we have considered further dimensional information such as wheelchair turning circles, clearance zone and tolerances.

BIM Clash Detection: A Quick Guide 

Autodesk Construction Cloud

Architects, MEP engineers, and structural engineers often independently create models during the design process. Clash detection is one of the most critical steps teams can take to identify and mitigate potential design conflicts before breaking ground, thus preempting construction issues and rework.

Open information exchange of Heating, Ventilating and Cooling systems (HVAC) – A Important Standard? – HVAC information exchange – HVACie

Building Information Management

HVACie extends the existing Industry Foundation Class Coordination View including equipment and system information streamlining construction shop drawing and fabrication. Life-cycle information exchanges have previously been identified in the structural steel domain—an analysis model, a design model, and a detailed model.
