A short exposition on the development of multidisciplinary 3D models!

The concept of developing 3D virtual models for the purpose of executing a building project was not there for long instead it is a new trend that have been optimized by AEC professionals for streamlining building activities or methods.  Until BIM’s presence in the industry CAD software served the purpose of developing models. But modeling process was soon dominated by BIM software such as Revit in context of construction industry. Huge amount of information and data is needed by BIM modelers for developing multidiscipline 3D models. In other words design data or information is required by the modelers of service providing company for the execution of modeling services.

Be it architectural, structural or MEP model, they are all developed on the basis of the design developed by relevant engineers. On the other hand multidiscipline 3D models are created on the basis of design created by architect, structural engineer or MEP engineers. So the information related to the design is always present in the CAD drawings which are developed by the technicians at the time of drafting process. In other words execution of architectural, structural and MEP drafting is very crucial prior to the execution of modeling services since relevant drafting documents are used for reference purpose during modeling.

So it is important for the modelers of the service providing company that they have all the necessary drafting documents with them while they develop 3D models. While working on a Revit modeling project CAD files are generally linked by the modelers in their current project for extracting the information. For example while making 3D floor plans in Revit it is important for modelers to have all the CAD floor plan drawings with them which when linked to the project help in obtaining information.


So in this way more than one CAD file is linked by the modelers to their current project for developing effective models. It’s not just the CAD drawings that are used for getting information however thing like PDF and other external sources are optimized by BIM modelers for developing precise 3D models in BIM software.

BIM must be credited for the metamorphosis of AEC industry!

The metamorphosis of conventional construction methods into innovative methods must be largely credited to BIM technology. Building Information Modeling is a highly productive technology for AEC professionals since it has huge magnitude and potential to handle all types of complications associated to construction projects.  Initially when BIM technology was not prevalent in the landscapes of Architecture Engineering and Construction industry, accomplishment of construction projects was challenging or demanding task for AEC professionals.  During that time architects and engineers used to perform most the construction related activities directly at the proposed location and hence they used to meet a lot of design problems at the time of final construction. And because of this AEC professionals used to face a large amount of rework situations which largely used to increase the project cost.   Rework is not only accountable for increasing project cost but it also resul...

How to Implement BIM in Medium-Sized Companies Effectively?

BIM has emerged as a remarkable new technology for structural and architectural building designs for its implementation in medium-sized companies. Before application of Building Information Modeling for medium size companies several queries and challenges occurs regarding the technical expertise of the employees, delay in projects as a consequence of introduction of newer technology and rising costs. These kinds of query and troubles pertaining to BIM implementation may be simply fixed by carrying out basic training and efficient planning of application of BIM Services. Hence with the aid of appropriate planning and minimal preparation BIM can be effortlessly and successfully implemented into medium-sized companies without significant intervention and disturbance. • Commencing with BIM: Application of BIM Services in medium size company can be referred as Process modification phenomenon. The employees of company ought to be equally associated with the decision making process o...

BIM: A game changing invention for AEC industry

It’s been centuries since construction work has begun commercially. Every passing decade added some innovation and left with a limitation to deal with. Of course it is undisputed that the industry was getting better and better yet the pace of this advancement wasn’t really remarkable. The issues like degradation in productivity, rising cost, delay in completion of the project were still to solve. Well, these are the issues which have hindered the growth of the construction industry. Each stakeholder belonging to this field was seeking salvation, until Building Information Modeling was invented and reached out to the public. The age brought by high tech tools including BIM is defined in golden letters in the book of Architectural and Engineering industry. Initially Architectural drawings used to be developed manually. Though, AutoCAD 2D architectural software was launched afterwards which has made this task a bit easier, but highly advanced and organized software was y...
