For the effective accomplishment of construction projects it is important that architects and engineers have the accessibility of high quality 2D CAD Drawings and 3D BIM Models, which allow them to understand design technicalities of different building disciplines.
When building projects are executed with the assistance of high-end technology, a highly systematic procedure is implemented by design and construction professionals wherein designs for different disciplines are developed by using 3D Modeling software Revit.
For developing architectural, structural and MEP Design in 3D it is important that technically sound BIM Modelers are involved in the execution of BIM modeling services which are thoroughly executed in Revit, an Autodesk product.
Revit modeling services are extremely crucial for all the key building stakeholders and clients as they result into the development of highly technical and information rich 3D models which explicitly represent the physical and functional characteristics of the building. Since Revit models clearly showcase the physical and functional characteristics of the proposed building it becomes easy for architects and engineers to evaluate them.
The beauty of BIM modeling is that intricate geometrical information can be successfully modeled by technically proficient modelers, who possess enormous knowledge about Revit’s tools and features. When 3D models for multiple building disciplines are developed in Revit, Architects and Engineers get detailed information about building elements and they can effectively analyze the coordination problem between these elements with the support of 3D project review software.
A brief description of BIM Coordination process
- When architectural, structural and MEP design is completed in 3D, design and construction professionals take a step further for reforming the design and executed BIM coordination services, wherein they try to coordinate all the building elements together in Revit.
- But for the effective coordination of architectural, structural and MEP elements design and construction professionals try to identify collisions and clashes between them.
- For finding out collisions between the elements of 3D BIM models, AEC professionals execute clash detection services in Navisworks Manage.
- The Clash Detective tool of Navisworks Manage is one of the most important tools for BIM modelers since it allow them to conduct effective clash tests.
- When clashes are identified by Navisworks Manage, they are directly exhibited in the Results tab, all that is required from design and construction professionals is to approach this tab and resolve the clashes.
- For resolving collisions or clashes it is necessary that changes are made in the design.
- When modelers remove all the design inaccuracies, they can coordinate all the building elements in Revit.
Composite building model is developed by modelers during BIM Coordination Services which helps in flawless construction.
