BIM Igloo – The Newest 360 Degree Visualization Platform For Construction Professionals

Now-a-days, a new technology has emerged out in the market that will be very useful for construction professionals. It is known as ‘BIM Igloo’. BIM Igloo is a completely immersive 360 degree visualization platform.

UK based Welsh Water company first applied this technology in their project to curtail design work throughout the construction as well as handover phase. Besides, the technology facilitates the design team to involve with supply chain previously.

The design team is also able to convey these designs into reality and the operation team gets the ability to view the design, walk around it virtually, and provide input into the design for its continuing operation.

Igloo also helps in cutting down the travel considerably, inspecting sites through visualizations, creating designs thoroughly, minimizing the requirements for visiting site repeatedly.

Revit 2017 is launched with some improved features

Autodesk just released the most updated version of its prime software Revit i.e. Revit 2017 with some new and advanced features. The newest version of Revit will help in generating model as well as transmitting design intent in a better way.

Revit 2017 will provide comprehensive solutions for architectural, MEP and structural engineering, and construction professionals.

With advanced features in Revit 2017, the progression inside an extensive multi-discipline Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflow will become more efficient.

Revit 2017 will perform rapidly (4.5 times faster than earlier) by demonstrating only the viewable elements of a view and not drawing elements which are unseen.

In Revit 2017, there are some useful toolset for the users to generate models which can perfectly and completely illustrate what will be finally produced, combining design and fabrication workflows. The Global Parameters feature facilitates to encrypt and obtain design objective inside a model by allowing the users to specify relationships amid building elements and apply parameters to assing dimensions and values across a project.

Revit 2017 empowers the designers to comprise the superior level of detail essential for downstream fabrication and building, modeling projects of any size and perplexity. Mechanical detailers can automatically fabricate the layout of model and transform design level of detail model elements to fabrication level of detail elements

With this feature, the contractors get the ability to generate a model instantly for detailed coordination fabrication and set up. Structural engineers can optimize the design intent, or the level of detail for reinforcement modeling and documentation for attaching steel design to detailing workflows.

Role of BIM for construction safety and risk management

Construction risks are considered as one of the most crucial factors for any construction jobsite. With the emergence of BIM, it becomes easier for construction professionals to generate 3D site safety plan as well as preserve safety plans electronically.

With BIM, the construction professionals can view and illustrate jobsite conditions for review and recognition of hazards. BIM can easily manage various issues like wrong work planning, deficient communication with workers and failure of safety training.

1. Visually examine jobsite conditions: BIM is used to get visual perception of a site briefly as well as the safety status all through the planning stage, prior to commencement of the actual construction. It facilitates the new workers to be familiar with the construction site safety measures and construction processes without difficulty.

2. Recognize possible hazards: As BIM offers 3D visualization, it becomes easier to generate 4D sequence and construction activity planning via site logistics. One can easily detect the possible hazards - specifically those distinctive to an individual project. So, with 4D scheduling feature, a characterized safety plan for workers is developed.

3. Exterminate risks and enhance safety conditions: By applying BIM, each risk can be highlighted independently and workflows can be organized efficiently which facilitate the each worker to optimize their tasks and get rid of possible risks.

CADsoft Consulting is launching an exclusive event on Progressive Building and Design Technology

SolutionsCADsoft Consulting Inc, a recognized leader in executing design and construction technologies, officially launched CADsoft University in Tempe, Arizona, a convention where architecture, engineering, and construction professionals will meet and exchange new practices for employing design solutions.

The CADsoft's award-winning technical team will conduct the event. The event will commence from January 13, 2016 in Phoenix and from February 18, 2016 in Albuquerque.

This exclusive event will focus on two sections which involve Infrastructure & Design and Building & Construction, with the elementary theme of "this is what the future will be, but you can do this now." The technical team will analyze the three stages of a civil engineering project which include planning and collection, design, and output—all through the Infrastructure & Design portion of the day through presentations on Autodesk products like Autodesk Infraworks 360, Autodesk ReCap, and Autodesk 3ds Max.

The Building & Construction portion will teach generative design, virtual reality for design review, handheld laser scanning for as-built design and building energy observance for facilities management.

CADsoft’s technical team also demonstrate mapping 3D models and snapping photos via drones, together with the "Living City Project," a concept that will facilitate specialists to familiar with AutoCAD software's sound capability to visualize realistic demonstrations of whole cities.

Autodesk gospeller Lynn Allen will conduct a lunch session to focus on the "Future of Making Things," an epoch of technological movements and ruptures in building design and construction that advance rapidly.

In order to get more information on this event go through the following link www.cadsoft-consult.com. AEC industry specialists who want to participate with the event can register here for Phoenix (cadsoft.wufoo.com/forms) and here for Albuquerque (cadsoft.wufoo.com/forms/cadsoft-university-registration-albuquerque).
