Project Location- Vasari

When you create a project it is possible to specify the geographic location using the street address or the latitude and longitude. This is useful for generating location-specific shadows for views that use them, such as solar studies and walkthroughs. The location provides a basis for weather information, which is used during conceptual energy analysis. To specify the project location, Analyze tab  > Project Location panel > Location. When...

Curtain Panel Pattern Based- Autodesk Vasari

Vasari Introduction Project Vasari is a standalone application that expands on the Revit conceptual mass family interface. Autodesk Project Vasari facilitates you with the curtain panel pattern based family. In this, you can create families of different shapes and patterns. Decorative panel can be obtained from the curtain panel pattern based family. These are project hosted elements. You can create panel and then it is to be loaded either on...

Barriers to Building Information Modeling

Barriers to BIM The ultimate objective is to build an integrated BIM—a virtual building before we make expensive mistakes with concrete, glass and steel. But tradition, contractual separation, archaic laws, technical limitations, interoperability problems and culture hinder us. Software and hardware constraints: A BIM model theoretically has unlimited ability to hold information. But any practical project model will fall short of what is theoretically possible. Despite faster and faster computers and more efficient software, the model slows...

BIM Model Management

Managing a BIM Model Managing a Building Information Model is similar to managing an actual model in site.  A construction manager must understand the technology of construction. But the more crucial job is orchestrating the work of hundreds of organizations—coordinating the assembly of materials on-site with decision-making, sequencing, and supply chain management. Most of a project is built off-site. If the on-site management team doesn’t manage the off-site activities there will be delays. Managing the interrelationships is as...

BIM in Industry

BIM Characteristics A BIM model is a digital description of a project. It may include information such as the physical configuration, programmatic requirements, functional characteristics, specifications, systems performance, supply chain threads, construction sequence, cost or any other information that might be useful. Plug-ins:  Specialized software may be “plugged in” with algorithms that can adjust related building systems if there is a design change. These “plug ins” can include programs for structural and mechanical design. For...

BIM Evolution

Evolution of BIM Courtesy: YouTube EVOLUTION Vector CAD:  The first generations of CAD represented buildings with geometry—vector based lines, arcs and circles. A CAD drawing was easy to modify and replicate. It also provided greater precision than pencil on paper. But it was dumb: lines drawn with a computer instead of a pencil. Object CAD: Then “smart” objects with properties were added. Objects like windows, doors, walls, roofs or stairs had properties that governed their behavior. A window could be pulled from a resource file...
