BIM for Renovation of Historical Sites

BIM is shading off the conventional drawing rapidly. Building Information Modeling (BIM) introduces a new way for designing, constructing and operating buildings and infrastructure. The application stretches far beyond the known territory and it also touches the history with its best features and applications. For understanding the building designs and materials of historical sites, BIM brings out an unparalleled approach. Renovating buildings centuries old requires a comprehensive knowledge of structural designs.

The most known problem associated with renovating historical sites is identifying the structural design. BIM comes as a boon for the organizations that are conducting such works. They revealed that scanning the old construction is like lifting the pages of history and bring out the architectural theories decades ago. BIM has been used for surveying sites accurately that carve out the foundation step of planning the renovation work as per the structure needs.

Mapping historical sites let you understand how the materials have been used and transformed over times. BIM has been used in renovating the Attucks school in Kansas City. The red building was built in 1905 by Charles A. Smith. The building stands in the test of time as a historical site of the colonial revival influences and it has a great influence in the education history of the African-American community.

Nearly two decades after, Charles A. Smith was approached to extend the historical building with a two-story wing to eliminate the over-crowding issue. The task was challenging since Smith needed to match the aesthetic essence of the building while designing the extending part. He used original architectural detail to recreate the same value created decades back. Getting the complete details of the building was not easy and it needed a thorough survey.

Redeveloping Attucks in a new way was a complex task for the team and it required to unveil the existing structural design in the infrastructure. BHC RHODES, a civil engineering firm, shouldered the responsibility of offering 3D Revit Building Information Model. The company used the lider 3D mobile mapping of GeoSLAM conduct the survey work magnificently.

The survey brought out some necessary factors that were essential for carrying out the renovation work safely. The team revealed information about the deteriorating conditions of the wooden flooring, a possibility of ceiling collapses and poor air quality.

The revealed information helped the workers on site plan their job in a secure way. The firm took help from GeoSLAM ZEB-REVO for mapping the inside of the building. The lightweight, a mobile device used the 3D Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology to perform the required job efficiently. The process is considered to be comparatively cost effective one to terrestrial, static or trolley based systems.

ZEB-REVO is incredibly designed for mobile mapping and surveying for multi-storied buildings. The device allows you to scan the inside of a construction just while walking around. For the Attucks School, the data received by this device generated 200BIM models.

The application of BIM in layering the historical sites proves to be a new approach. It opens up an array of benefits that lead to a flawless working ability. Sometimes the owner of building needs details about how the renovation work will be done and which material will be the best for work. BIM presents a design that contains every detail required for getting a quick approval on the proposed plan.

Is BIM Replacing Quantity Takeoff?

BIM plays an inevitable role in a construction project. From designing to planning, the new technology makes a quick approach that saves time and reduces human interventions. The most talking issue nowadays is – BIM is taking places of quantity takeoff.

It reveals the very truth that we are adopting the modern technology more than maintaining the conventional pathways. The age-old quantity takeoff has also been replaced by BIM. But the doubt that is hovering over is – does this shift bring any profitable outcome?

What is quantity takeoff and how does it work? Quantity takeoff is measured from 2D CAD drawing designed by professionals. These 2D designs work as a blue print of the work that is given to contractors as static PDF files. Constructors use software specifically designed for measuring areas of the drawing and presenting the quantity by identifying objects (windows, doors and more) from it. The objects generally pass through many conditions before presenting quantities of windows, doors and walls.

The approaches of BIM are reliable and trustworthy. But it does have the limitation as the application is basically designed for presenting 3D models of the planned construction. BIM directly estimates the quantity from the 3D model and this is why it eliminates the need for additional estimators. The information gathered from the 3D construction is considered to be error-free as compared to the information from the non-virtual 2D design.

The benefits BIM provides as quantity estimator are given below:

• BIM generates quantities based on the objects of the 3D model, offering a faster quantity takeoff process.
• Any modification will also change the quantities, so re-measurement is not required.
• Since everything is done as per the 3D design created virtually, less error and more accuracy is expected.

To identify the separate working area of BIM and quantity takeoff, you have to understand well how they work. BIM presents quantities of the objects while making designs and it uses objects based on the design. Traditional quantity takeoff relies more on static lines to define objects and quantities are measured accordingly. Though BIM includes both common and complex objects, it lacks in gathering site-specific data such as specific type of concrete foundation required for the project. Trade estimators play a very important role in bringing out the underlying detail of the construction. BIM generally ignores this part and it often presents an incomplete takeoff to you.

With the BIM projects, estimators deal with an accuracy of finding out the quantity objects easily. In the 2D world, trade estimators go through a complex process of understanding of the model. This eventually delays the final result to be presented to constructors. With BIM, trade estimators easily calculate necessary objects as the designs are clear and comprehensive.

The last point that establishes the truth whether BIM is replacing quantity takeoff specifies strictly the working area of the designers. They possess a little knowledge about materials and method as their sole responsibility is to design. So, it can be said that quantity takeoff has a strong root in the construction that cannot be shaken so easily. New tools are introduced in trade estimators to make the process perfect for instant measuring.

How UHS Henderson Hospital Project Completed Successfully With BIM

BIM was implemented in UHS Henderson Hospital project to assign best time for design to fulfill the customer expectation devoid of curtailing the scheduled time allocated for the jobsite to finish the construction.

The engineers and detailers co-operated throughout the design process to generate design deliverables and shop drawings from the similar 3D-BIM model.

To execute the task, the project team generated a construction-level model devoid of slowing the schedule of the design. Superior quality documents with all engineering and construction information were created devoid of making the documents complicated with enormous finely detail.

Given below the detailed descriptions of the process:-

1. Engineers collaborated with the designers to produce initial drawings and sketches which were applied to organize the final model. As the engineers were drafting a very low level of detail (LOD 100), they can easily respond to the modifications of design as well as fulfill the satisfaction of the customers. Furthermore, as the detailers were outlining the systems throughout design rather than after, they can easily raise queries and obtain solutions previously devoid of the requirement of a request-for-information process. They can also accomplish most of the coordination prior to clash detection started.

2. Various field general foremen performed the modeling for the shop drawings prior to assemble them on jobsite. At the time of issuing Construction (IFC) sheets, foremen already recognized the job and didn’t have to spend prolonged time for solving issues associated with the project.

3. The shop foremen generated spool drawings for the assemblies which they were fabricating to minimize rework as they were capable of accessing the BIM model to resolve their queries at any time.

4. Engineers compromised with the design team to apply one-quarter scale design drawings in order to use the similar sheet layout and text size. This facilitated to utilize the identical annotation, notes, and sheet setup for the detailing and engineering drawing deliverables.

Some newest trends to strengthen the 3D modeling & BIM process

BIM and Cloud technology become the part and parcel of 3D model based design. So, with the arrival of any new movement in the Cloud architecture as well as in building information modeling (BIM), 3d model based design is greatly influenced.

Given below some crucial new trends that can impact the 3d model based design.

3D laser scanning: 3D laser scanning not only just scan a substantial space and the inner part of a room, but also generates exact information concerning jobsite which in turn facilitates the building information modeling (BIM) process. BIM relies on semantics and necessitates proper information to initiate more far-reaching 3D modeling. Superior 3D laser scanning can convey this powerful feature into BIM.

It is assumed that 3D, BIM and Cloud are all closely inter-linked with each other and 3D laser scanning represents this connection by initially recording the facade and shape of a structure and subsequently converts all those information into cloud enabled data points in order to import them for producing a BIM model.

Although a 3D laser scanner is quite expensive but it is indispensable for real estate industry and realtors can increase their ROI to a great extent by using 3d laser scanner. Besides, 3D laser scanning may also motivate the realtors to search for domains.

Cloud-supported data management: Now-a-days, data management tools are generally compatible with cloud and can be applied to deal with data via cloud. All the stored data should be transferred from local computer to cloud. The designers and architects can improve their design ideas as well as make them logical through incorporated 3d models. Besides they can also interact with 3d models more efficiently.

Cloud platforms can streamline the collaboration process significantly as they allocate the data for being used in diverse ways. The models created through cloud are based on raw data. There are also various tools in cloud which can manage and preserve project data efficiently.

With the Cloud based tools lets, the data is incorporated with a web-page that is HTTPS enabled. One will be able to avail the crucial features as well as accomplish operations on the job site and distribute the outputs with other project stakeholders through the web. Generally cloud-motivated platforms for data management include file-sharing system, hardware controller and web operating system.

Collaboration and consulting: One vital aspect of 3d modeling is to reduce the essential requirement of 3D modeling is eliminating the high-priced phases of collaboration. Usually such phases are long-distance and lingering. As regards to time, it is detected that a single mode of collaboration is useful in suppressing the hindrances to progress. If a distinctive mode of collaboration is undertaken for 3D modeling, then it will help to get rid of duplication, rapid response to modifications and upgrades, etc.

In order to streamline the process, a third party consultant is required to train the whole team so that they are able to get rid of the incorrect & poor quality input and get value to the owner of the building through the 3D models that they are working on.

If all the project stakeholders collaborate with each other and discuss with with those, who know how to overcome the BIM challenges, then 3D modeling would be more methodical, less tedious and less expensive. For the construction and interior decoration industries, it will bring huge benefits.

Some CAD tips and tricks to create your own custom hatch

Edwin Prakoso presents an exclusive article for cad professionals. The article focuses on how one can create their own custom hatch.

Inside AutoCAD, there are default hatch patterns. But the users always require custom hatch for smooth workflow. One can download custom hatch pattern from various resources. But one can also make personalized custom hatch.

One can take help from AutoLISP program to generate simple hatch effortlessly. You can check this tutorial.

Hatch Maker: One can access this free AutoLISP program from Cadalyst. One can follow the simple process to produce a pattern graphically. After uploading the LISP program, the following two new commands will be visible.

Drawhatch: The users can apply this command to produce 1×1 rectangle at coordinate 0,0. Just sketch following your choice of pattern. Only lines and points can be used. The users should have to sketch new entity rather than copying object to this location and transferring it.

Savehatch: Once the making of the objects is completed, this command can be run. After you finish creating the objects, you can run this command. Choose objects inside the rectangle then save the pattern file.

But in case of a very complicated pattern, the process may not be effective. The users have to recreate it after modifying it.

Obtain pattern from an AutoCAD drawing: Suppose you obtain a drawing having custom hatch pattern inside it and you want to apply the hatch pattern, but there is no pat file. Then what will be the process for producing the pattern?

You can just capture the hatch definition and save the pattern to your local drive. There is one firm like Tee Square Graphics who can write a LISP program for creating the .pat file.

One can avail the GETPAT LISP code here. It’s a raw code and prior to apply it, just save it to lisp file.

Saving and using AutoLISP program: If you are not aware about how to save and load LISP program,read how you can do it here.

The importance of 3D PDF

What is the best way to share technical data with stakeholders outside of engineering? One of the issues with sharing technical data is the fact that many of the intended recipients are non-technical, that means they don’t use 3D CAD. The types of users involved can also vary widely in terms of the type of devices they would be receiving the data on, such as desktops, laptops or mobile devices, such as phones or tablets.

3D PDF

The solution is 3D PDF. Everyone knows about the ubiquitous PDF and how useful it is when sharing documents. In fact, everyone has the Adobe PDF reader. What may not be known is that the standard Adobe PDF Reader (that everyone has) can display interactive 3D data and can contain other related information as well – think of it as a container – more on that later.

What makes 3D PDF an ideal solution?

It is that it is easy to use, free, already is on the computer (and apps are available for tablets), and enables anyone inside or outside of a company to easily access and use the valuable 3D engineering data via their desktop or mobile device–without additional licensing costs.

The 3D PDF Components are sharing of your interactive 3D model is only the beginning. The 3D PDF is a container. Adobe designed a tremendous amount of flexibility into this powerful file format. Other data structures that might be included could be any that have a relationship to the CAD assembly model data—for instance, 1. Part Lists 2. The procedures for completing a task, also known as work instructions or tasks 3. The snapshots and animations of the steps of an assembly process or a service procedure.

Using the 3D PDF standalone or part of PLM/PDM processes

It doesn’t matter if you are a small engineering company or a Fortune 100 manufacturing company, using 3D PDF for sharing interactive 3D models with related information (including PMI) is probably the best way to share with any stakeholder. If you are a big company, you will most certainly have a PLM or PDM system, and the 3D PDF can easily be tucked in with all the rest of your files. If you are a small company, the 3D PDF can become a mini PDM system using its container capabilities to hold all of the above items as well as the original CAD data format and neutral formats, such as IGES and STEP.

There are many 3D PDF generation solutions on the market today — most simply convert CAD geometry– that’s all. The more robust solutions usually require scripting and programming. Lattice Technology offers a solution that enables a person without CAD experience and without programming or scripting to easily and quickly create these powerful 3D PDFs with extended information. The solution uses a template approach, which allows users to establish standards for their 3D PDFs.
