In his third episode on Building Information Modelling (BIM), the system used to collect all data centrally in one place regarding the whole life cycle of a project, Ian is going to cover the next dimension in BIM, 3D. He will explain what 3D modelling is about, its benefits, how to begin a 3D model, what software is required, BIM coordination and the challenges involved.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Enhanced 3D project visualisation and comprehensive integration and collaboration achieved between all the parties involved via a 3D model.
- All data is stored commonly on a common platform.
- Initial setting up is key to the accuracy of cohesive data in the ongoing BIM.
- Via this 3D visualisation and integration with all aspects of the project, problems can be recognised and circumvented easily.
- Most collaborators within the project will have different varieties of software to visualise the 3D model. Integration is important when choosing software and all integration should be approached carefully.
- Accuracy, specialist expertise and scope are important in the early stages of creation.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You will be working on an integrated platform. So that will really streamline and improve communications.’
‘You can even use this, in my view, for all the data management of the whole project. So all the documentation, all the contracts, everything else should be able to go on to the common data environment.’
‘Each program has its own unique set of features and capabilities. Each program has capabilities of scaling or not. Some of the smaller packages really are only capable of being used on smaller projects.’
‘You need to have a solid common data environment in terms of what is going on.’
