Take a look at the top software solutions which are used for developing 2D drawings and 3D models

Over the years the building process has improved drastically, because design and construction professionals have started to utilize computer applications for carrying out design documentation for building projects.
Across the world there are numerous companies which work round the clock for developing high quality computer applications which can be used by design and construction professionals for developing high quality design for buildings. 

High performing buildings can only be developed by architects and engineers if they have high quality design for all the individual building disciplines which include architecture, structure and MEP.  

The most important thing which is necessary for the development of high quality design is the availability of top-tier software solutions such as AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit (Revit Architecture, Revit Structure and Revit MEP), and Navisworks etc. 

Most of these software solutions which I have just mentioned are developed by an American software manufacturing company known as Autodesk.  This particular company has actually sorted out many of the difficulties of architects and engineers by providing them with software such as Revit which is extensively used for creating high quality design in 3D. 

The development of architectural, structural and MEP drawings in 2D is carried out through software packages such as AutoCAD and MicroStation etc. These software solutions are equipped with high quality drawing tools which help in accomplishing the technical drawings extremely quickly. 

Whereas when it comes to finding out problems in building design, architecture, engineering and construction industry professionals use Navisworks.

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 mod...

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 in...
