A Ride on the BIM Cloud!

Revit, the multi-users design tool that works effectively on a local area network with all the users sitting in the same place, does not meet the operational requirements of the larger organizations where teams from different locations work on a larger project. The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry has been conventionally fragmented regarding designing and constructing buildings. Many firms and organizations have combined to create a building and once the project is accomplished, this team splits to develop another team for another building project. Inspired by the technology building blocks of a cloud, there is now an AEC Collaboration Hub for Advance2000. This will help users to work together, in real-time.

To achieve project collaboration organizations are shifting to a cloud environment today. Users do not have to transfer large models and wait for several days for design feedback on problematic issues. With AEC Collaboration Hub it is possible now to provide clients real-time feedback, and execute a project efficiently as well as timely.

Cloud computing is turning Information Technology (IT) from a capital intensive business to a utility that can be used as required from a pre-existing infrastructure. Advance2000 is a Cloud Computing provider like IT utility that builds and operates the IT power plants and sells it computing power to consumers.

BIM is incorporated in this industry for design and construction of the built environment. And A BIM cloud is a special purpose IT cloud. It is used sort to the problems of the AEC industry. A BIM cloud enables the users to virtualize their desktop in order to dynamically incorporate computing resources in, promptly and in a cost effective manner. Virtualization turns the hardware into a piece of software which helps the users to enhance the utility of the actual hardware of the system. Besides BIM Cloud allows the users to virtually co-locate their project team as they can access their desktops remotely, all those desktops, applications, and storage required to run their project can be co-located in the same data center.

Advance2000 has indeed developed an artery for collaboration that is aiding new businesses to grow and new sources of revenue for member firms.

IMAGINiT’s Scan to BIM 2014.1 Released

IMAGINiTs Scan to BIM 2014.1 software has been released on a rental basis for renovation and retro?t projects. The new version of the Scan to BIM software supports users in creating 3D building information model (BIM) in Autodesk’s Revit building design software from point cloud data.

IMAGINiT, a division of Rand Worldwide, an IT and engineering design firm is based in Based in Framingham, Massachusetts. It is also considered as one of largest integrators of Autodesk 3D design and engineering software in the world. Revit has features for architectural design, construction, MEP and structural engineering. Autodesk ReCap, the point cloud engine for Revit, merges point cloud and photogrammetry, to allow designers to view and use bigger datasets.

Only available as a division of the Autodesk Building Design Suite 2014 Premium and Ultimate editions, Autodesk’s Revit software is exclusively created for BIM. The Scan to BIM 2014.1 plug-in for Revit 2012, 2013 or 2014 helps users to work inside Revit for creating and validating a model from a point cloud with automated recognition and positioning of native Revit geometry and architectural elements like columns & walls, and MEP elements like linework, pipes, conduits, and ducts.

In Scan to BIM, IMAGINiT has generated a rental option that permits small firms and irregular users of point clouds- architects, mechanical engineers, scanning providers and plant designers- to improve productivity and profitability by employing Scan to BIM 2014.1 without paying for the conventional perpetual license. Scan to BIM software allows users to work more efficiently by leveraging the data in Revit to create elements directly.

The new release also includes features like Section Box Tool, Quality Assurance Tool to enhance modeling efficiency with point clouds directly in Revit, and Create from CAD Tool. It also allows users to view point clouds based on color, elevation, intensity, and evaluate differences by comparing the Revit model against the point cloud.

BIM 4D Solutions for Advanced Construction and Scheduling

BIM has emerged as an integral part of the construction industry and architectural engineering. BIM 4D offers focused solutions for advanced construction and scheduling and it enhances management of architectural projects. Implementation of BIM 4D services helps in detecting and resolving any kind of discrepancies between MEP, architectural and structural designs easily and quickly.

BIM technology allows accurate take offs and enables proper construction management by envisioning a construction process prior to the actual physical construction. Architects or designers can analyze the process, optimize it for sustainability, save resources, can perform better coordination and manage materials efficiently. Besides, it also saves time which is interestingly the fourth dimension of BIM 4D.

BIM is employed in different construction projects in varied sectors like post and pre tension structures, residential constructions, industrial plants, commercial facilities, infrastructural building and facilities, steel buildings and other miscellaneous structures.

Collaborative support for architectural, electrical, mechanical, MEP coordination and plumbing system construction management and scheduling is possible through BIM solutions.

BIM 4D enhances construction management through-

• 4D Modeling
• Quantity Take Offs and Accurate Information Extraction
• MEP Services
• Library Creation
• Structural/ Architectural Services
• Clash Detection and Risk Mitigation
• Project Coordination
• Construction Documentation
