Latest component based stair feature in Revit Architecture

New Component-based stairs in Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013 provide capabilities to assemble a stair using individual run, landing, and support components. Each run and landing component can be modified by using direct manipulation controls. During the creation process, you can preview the stair in 3D as you sketch the various components.

Component-based stairs allow overlapping stairs to be created, as well as more stair layouts including spiral stair cases and winder stairs. Additionally, you can create multiple runs and have Autodesk Revit automatically create landings to connect the runs.

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.

How BIM was applied in the $1.85 billion new Royal Adelaide Hospital project

Royal Adelaide, a high-tech hospital in South Australia is the biggest building ever constructed in Australia. In this project near about 1,300 workers perform onsite to make plan and get the 10-level hospital ready to be introduced in 2016.

Some hi-tech methods were applied in the construction processes of the hospital through the Building Information Management system incorporated with myriad computer systems and numerous construction specifications.

Under this system the blueprint from paper has been shifted into a 3D computer system which enables contractors and staff to verify efficiently through tablets or smart phones. The 3D system helps in showcasing a wide array of building parts to be updated in real time as construction progresses. This consecutively enhanced the scopes for modules to be created off site involving supreme accurateness - then assembled on jobsite.

So, it can be said that the BIM system alias ‘virtual construction’ has has fundamentally transformed the construction industry.

Now the several users can sign up and avail the 3D images rather than searching for paper drawings, and all will be updated in real time.

The 3D approach will facilitate the prefabrication off-site, and save huge time and space at the construction site. Lots of incorporated models are transferred into the master 3D model that can decrease the possibility for inaccuracies compared to contractors working off paper plans.

The 3D designs necessitate each item to provide a code, and ensure that such items can be identified easily for future reference or preservation. A wide array of coded items varies from light fittings and furniture through to architectural fittings. It also integrates operating manuals for each item, ending the requirements to look for booklets.

Knowing BIM

BIM or Building Information Management helps in keeping the workflow smooth between “the designed” and “the constructed” by managing information precisely. BIM is essential to coordinated and incorporate modifications, whenever & wherever required, between the conceptualized model of the building and the end result. It aids in enhancing the accuracy of the data the subsequent costing incurred.

We usually find a vast difference between what was conceived and the final result as in the entire construction process the design information is often replaced by alterations as per the requirement of the client, engineer and others. The raw data of the differences between the design and the construction create BIM diary that includes photographs and scanned copy of all the data, information of the design before anything is hidden concealed, or buried. These photographs support to detect alteration later when the construction is concealed by walls, floors, ceilings etc. The BIM diary also helps to check the activities on site and detect the conditions before, during, and after activities. This also provides the assurance that facts are accurately followed and ensures the planners, the design team, construction management, logistics
teams, manufacturers and health & safety. Besides, the clients can obtain a true picture the status of the construction and know what they are paying for.

BIM helps in maintaining the level of accuracy and creating an accurate costing analysis. Through BIM, the entire team of construction can remain well coordinated. The two major advantages of BIM are that it helps to complete a construction project on time and within the proposed budget. It is not surprising hence, to find the increased employment of BIM in varied projects to keep delay and over budget of projects in control.

Graphisoft has launched EcoDesigner Star for BIM professionals

GRAPHISOFT®, the most recognized software developer in Architectural Building Information Modeling (BIM), has introduced EcoDesigner STAR. It is the first ever software that sets standard-compliant energy study in the core of the BIM work surroundings of an architect. EcoDesigner STAR facilitates architects to make design of the most energy-efficient buildings, in tandem with engineers or specialist consultants.

EcoDesigner STAR integrates the BIM model with hourly energy simulation derived from weather conditions and operation profiles. It gives birth to a virtual reality design environment that inserts another dimension to the ArchiCAD Building Information Modeling experience.

EcoDesigner STAR empowers architects to apply ArchiCAD's building information model (BIM) right out of the box like a building energy model (BEM) that leads to formation of the design of highly energy-efficient buildings. Besides, EcoDesigner STAR comes up with standard-compliant energy analysis on the BEM and generates a comprehensive building energy performance report, all inside the recognizable ArchiCAD design environment.

EcoDesigner STAR is presently accessible in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden and South Africa. Please get in touch with your GRAPHISOFT Partner (http://www.graphisoft.com) for getting product information and purchase details.

EcoDesigner STAR for ArchiCAD 17 presents:
