BIM DIARY: WEEK 02

What does it really mean by BIM?

To explain in simple terms, it's a chunk of information of every little piece of a building project.

It's literally means modelling information of a building that involve inputs from Architect, Engineers, and Contractor. In Malaysia, so far architects are taking the role more seriously and most of the works are done by themselves.

The second week started off by testing our new learned skills from the previous tutorials and trying to model up the office space that we're currently situated in. The extent of our details wasn't go complicated just yet. As so as we realized the time we are building the walls in 2D, the walls had been up in the 3D view as well.

Selection of different materials for different component can be tricky. Unlike CAD, we draw lines without even thinking about the nature of the element yet.

So,

We're building up the spirit of BIM so far. I was amazed of how far can Revit actually go when I starting to understand the concept of Common Data Environment. The simple click of synchronization can easily blow things off, or the other way round.

Thirsty for more to come.
