Building Information Modeling -BIM

5 Tactics of Enhancing Creation 😊

Revit is a digitized for implementing BIM methodology, facilitating the transition with assured quality & accuracy to all the . Revit family creates BIM ( ) parametric dimensional competences to . The customized & reusable helps all the AEC to create accurate modeling standards as per BIM Level of Detailing and obtain -Off/BOQ in real-time with enhanced speed & reduced time.

1. Stay Minimal While Modeling Geometry:

It is recommended to have detailed levels for & representation and display options accessible on the visibility . Make use of symbolic lines and masking regions instead of geometry. Stay minimal while modeling geometry with defined visibility settings.

2. Don’t Over Model, Restricting Creation:

While building assemblies, ensure that you have restricted the creation of assemblies and parts to prevent the model overloading with all types of unnecessary details. Make sure that you have considered the significant assemblies.

3. Limit Usage of Nested & Parameterized Families:

With apt usage of parameters & nested families, you can successfully customize and create the families. However, it is significant that the use of nested & parameterized Revit families is necessary only to the point, as overloading can lead to intricacy, making the product frustrating.

4. Use Families Instead of :

Infographics encompass visual data representation, making intricate information easy to share and digest. While making a Revit family, one should organize , , & , citing sources.

5. Create Using Solids Rather than Voids:

Voids are great to use if used frugally but they enforce penalties in terms of performance if used inappropriately or overused. Often voids present the solitary way of modeling elements accurately. Nevertheless, it’s better to create elements using solids rather than voids.

Entering the 5th Dimension: 3D BIM to 5D BIM

are transforming the way we work and reshaping our , and the and (E&C) industry is no exception, albeit somewhat slower than other industries but certainly faster than before. The implementation of ( ) in the design process is the first step many construction firms take towards .

For project , they can gain better visualization of the project design and engage more effectively with all stakeholders. For contractors, the embedding of BIM into their processes means reducing costly rework, improving quality, and delivering projects on time and within budget.

Although the benefits of BIM in the design phase can be momentous, it is not the be-all end-all of digital innovation. Digitalizing only the design phase is not enough. Going digital means digitalizing everything that could be improved or optimized. With MTWO Complete Cloud, design is seamlessly integrated within the whole construction and operation process, connecting the entire project lifecycle.

Virtual into Physical, BIM becomes BIM 5D

How do we communicate when managing and handling large and complex projects, what is being built and how it is being built? The answers can be found precisely when virtually building the project lifecycle using 5D BIM simulation. When the 3D design of a building project is integrated with “time factor” (4D) and “cost factor” (5D), it is much easier for project stakeholders to comprehend what is being built, how, when, by who, and with what, as well as providing rapid feedback.

3D model: A classic geometric model enriched with extra data (quantities, furnishings, materials, devices, personnel deployment).

4D: The time factor. The model integrates work stages and their duration so that a model-based schedule and process plan can be created.

5D: Cost integration. Cost assignment in the model allows integral, model-based cost planning, tendering and ex*****on.

As a key step in the and phase, MTWO 5D simulation creates a lifelike building process for all involved in planning, ex*****on, and operation, enabling stakeholders to explore multiple alternatives, promptly compare and test complex scenarios, and predict the consequences of selecting an alternative across such factors as costing and scheduling, helping builders make the most informed decisions. The sequence of construction activities is simulated to allocate resources optimally and avoid time and space conflicts before the actual construction begins. Multiple model-based cost scenarios are explored to ensure that the design being considered is within the budget, and with a holistic view of the project, optimizing design and maximizing the value of the project becomes much easier.

Bringing 3D BIM to 5D BIM

With the smart plugin – iTWO 3D – linking up Revit and MTWO, models can be real-time synchronized between Revit and MTWO to eliminate back and forth rework. iTWO 3D provides over 40 powerful features, including:

1. MTWO data synchronization and MTWO integration

Synchronize BIM model between and MTWO, greatly improving efficiency by eliminating the model exporting and importing process.

Integrate MTWO Cloud Data to Revit model to make 5D BIM modeling easier and faster.

2. Fast model operation

Model navigation: Navigate BIM model through a series of commonly used standard views.

Model editing: Batch editing BIM models in one click with smart templates.

Model check and analysis: Check model quality automatically and enforce enterprise standards to ensure the downstream cost and schedule services quality.

3. Others

QTO: Fetch level-based rebar/cable information by reading a standard Excel sheet, and subsequently add this information as properties to the Revit model.
