Working Concept - 2D CAD




Draft everything in 2D
No 3D model is created
Design changes maintained
manually on every drawing
Typically, each drawing is
saved in its own file
Evaluation - 2D CAD
Benefits
Compared to hand drafting
•
•
•
•
Faster modifications
Accuracy
Smart drafting tools (fills, dimensions)
Repetitive elements (blocks, xrefs)
Compared to other CAD methods
•
•
•
Easy to understand concept (electronic drafting)
Relatively small files due to reduced data
Quick (but less intelligent) solution for all building types
Drawbacks
•
•
•
•
Changes on one drawing don’t influence other drawings
Drawing coordination is essential
No more content compared with hand drawing
Collisions and other design problems are difficult to identify
Working Concept – 3D CAD







The application has both 2D and
3D capabilities
Buildings can be modeled in 3D if
necessary
3D and 2D information can be
included in a single file
Drawings can be partially derived
from the model
No automatic documentation
Application mostly works with 2D
and 3D drawing tools instead of
real architectural elements
Additional content can be created
including visualization and basic
quantity take-offs
Project File
Drawings
Manual or automatic update
3D Model
Evaluation– 3D CAD
Benefits
Compared to 2D CAD
• Easier checking of planning errors
• Managing changes is easier
• Visualization and calculation
Compared to BIM
• Users may work purely in 2D if they
wish
• Smaller file size
• Easier to model complex geometries
Project File
Drawings
Manual or automatic update
Drawbacks (compared to BIM)
•
•
•
Concept doesn’t follow the architectural
design process
Documentation is not fully automatic
No architectural content like in BIM
applications
3D Model
The BIM Concept
BIM= Building Information Modeling
Also known as „Virtual Building” or
„Building Simulation”
Drawings, building views,
visualizations, calculations
and quantity take-offs are
automatically derived
from the 3D model.
Working Concept – BIM







Single file concept: The complete
building model and all of its
representations are included in the
BIM file
Real architectural elements used for
modeling
Changes of the model affect all
related drawings (and vice versa)
Automatic generation and updating
of documentation
Architectural content (libraries)
Building information data attached
to the elements
Additional materials (rendering,
animation, quantity take-offs,
schedules)
Evaluation– BIM
Benefits
Compared to 2D and 3D CAD
•
Elements have architectural meaning
•
Changes on one drawing have
influence on all others
•
Rich visualization content (animation,
sun studies, renderings etc.)
•
Automatic quantity take-offs,
schedules
•
Connection to structural, energy
calculation, collision detection etc.
software
Drawbacks
•
Higher training requirements
•
Might be difficult to learn the BIM
approach for people who were previously
2D users
•
Might be more difficult to handle complex
geometry (e.g. freeform structures) then
in 3D and 2D CAD
Real Architectural Elements - BIM

Drawing representation

Model representation
•
•
•
•
•

Floor plan, section and elevation views
Adjustable contours, fills, backgrounds
Scale sensitivity
3D shapes connected to drawing
elements
Surface color and texture
Non-graphical information
•
•
•
•
Material descriptions
Quantities, volumes
Cost
Values specific to certain elements
(e.g. lux values of lights, fire
resistance of doors)
Model Based Documentation - BIM
Coherence between model and drawing
All drawings derived from the model
Model itself coordinates drawings
Automatic scale change
The complete project lifecycle can be
controlled from a single file
 Rich 3D visualization content helps you to
win the job





Estimation-BIM
 Additional information
attached to the model
•
•
•
Quantity
Materials
Descriptions
Product details
Construction details
Safety details
•
BIM
DATA
3D model
Cost
 Instant Calculation
•
•
•
Quantity take-offs
Room Inventories
Door-Window Schedules
Calculations
Collaboration -BIM
The AEC industry is moving towards integration of
disciplines. The collaborative mode will become
a standard approach. Only advanced datasharing technology will enable effective enough
communication to support this working
method.
Areas of collaboration:
 Internal
 External
External Collaboration-BIM
The BIM data can be shared
with the project
stakeholders via:

IFC (Industry Foundation
Classes)
 DXF-DWG (Autocad
Drawing)
 PDF (Portable Document
Format)

XML (Extensible Markup

Other native CAD file
formats
Language)
Internal Collaboration-BIM
Central File
Advanced BIM applications
allow the seamless
sharing of the virtual
building data between the
project team members
Workspace 3
Workspace 2
The teamwork approach:




Central file contains the
complete virtual
building database
Team members work on
local copies
Team members have
dedicated workspaces
Team members send
and receive changes
regularly
Workspace 1
Send & receive changes
Local Copy 1
Local Copy 2
Local Copy 3
Analysis, Coordination-BIM
Further processing the BIM
data allows a wide range
of analytical activities:

detection)
Energy efficiency analysis

Trends: Construction Coordination
Construction industry is moving towards automated
solutions. Adding time and cost information to the
3D model results the virtual construction model.
