What are the benefits of developing 3D models for AEC professionals?

Design and construction professionals belonging to this period or contemporary period are much luckier than then their predecessor. Now you must be thinking why am I saying so? Well it’s pretty simple; construction professionals belonging to earlier period did not have the opportunity to utilize the kind of technology that is being used by contemporary design and construction professionals. That is why earlier building construction used to be regarded as one of the most daunting or formidable tasks.

But let’s forget the bygone period and focus what we have achieved today in terms of simplifying the complications of construction process. Well, today design and construction professionals are using some of the best techniques along with effective technologies to execute construction projects which are really helpful.

One such technology is Building Information Modeling and it is helps design and construction professionals to develop 3D models for different building disciplines. When 3D models are developed for architecture, structure and MEP they reveal all the crucial information to AEC professionals in terms of their design. Since multidiscipline models are generated in 3D they can be viewed by design and construction professionals from every angle as they can be conveniently rotated and moved.

Error free building design is the key to seamless construction and that is why design and construction professionals execute clash detection services once they complete the creation of 3D models for distinct building disciplines. All kinds of potential and unrealized design errors are discovered by AEC professionals when they conduct clash detection process. The task of determining clashes is carried out with the support of Navisworks which is very effective BIM software for design and construction professionals. Whenever design errors are discovered by Navisworks they are quickly highlighted because of the fact that they can be effectively visualized by AEC professionals. After detecting numerous clashes between model elements, effective solutions are provided for them by making alterations in the models.

3D models can also be made photorealistic by performing rendering services on them which can then be used in marketing activities.

A brief account on BIM’s expansion over the years

Building Information Modeling has a dramatic history when it comes to its expansion in the landscapes of AEC industry over the years. BIM which is also known as Virtual Design and Construction has a dominant presence in AEC industry because of the fact that is has the potential to realize project outcomes and can control them significantly as per requirement. In short design and construction professionals can attain superior control over project outcomes by analyzing multidiscipline models. Well, Building Information Modeling evolved as a concept some four decades ago but it was not practiced by AEC professionals in the industry at that time. For approximately ten years since it first appeared in the journal, the term ‘BIM’ used to be seen only in research papers. BIM as a technology and a process started to be implemented in construction projects some thirty years ago. So once AEC professionals started using BIM in construction they never looked back to their sluggish performanc

Tackle positioning issues favorably by sharing coordinates!

Tackling file positioning issues rationally and conveniently remains major problem for Revit users when they link additional file in their model or project. Multiple discrepancies are confronted by Revit users in terms of geometrical positioning of linked files comparative to host model. For example if an MEP engineer working on his model in Revit MEP wants to acquire a thorough understanding of  structural model developed in Revit structure by structural engineer he has to link the model. So when MEP engineer links a structural model in his MEP model, Revit spontaneously displays and alert informing users that linked model does not acquire the same coordinate system as host model. And since they do not share the same coordinate systems, Revit will automatically return back to center-to-center positioning. The alert confronted by users must be cancelled by them at this point of time because positioning associated issues can only be tackled once the file is imported in the model.

MEP systems provide the momentum to the building

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are incredibly crucial for any sort of building, be it residential, commercial or industrial.   The design for these systems is prepared by MEP modelers who have vast experience in the execution of BIM modeling services.  They develop design for MEP systems in Revit MEP software which is quintessentially dedicated to the design development of MEP systems only. MEP systems consist of HVAC systems, electrical systems and plumbing systems. Detailed explanation of these systems is following  HVAC Systems These systems comprise of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. HVAC systems have to be accurate since they are responsible for the circulation of various resources. The design of these systems must be created in a way that they reach to every part of the building where they supposed to reach. They are utilized in all kinds of building projects as well as non building projects such as industrial and c
