Build Earth Live is organizing a collaborative BIM competition on the newest hyperloop concept

Global design and BIM software developer Vectorworks, Inc, performs as the sponsor of the collaborative BIM competition that will start on Monday 23, 2016 at noon ET and complete on May 25, 2016 at noon ET. The designers from all over the world are welcomed to develop a plan for connecting Dubai and Abu Dhabi with the help of latest hyperloop concept. The theme of the competition is how new technology is reforming construction. All the participating teams have to coordinate with them to perform collaborative work with the use of building information modeling (BIM) technology. The event will specifically focus on the design of station terminuses inside the context of two global cities.

It is titled as the eighth collaborative BIM competition organized by Build Earth Live to spread out the concept of cloud-based working, international advancements in interoperability and public access to the design process.

The participating teams will be able to utilize any interoperable technology as well as maintain a public collaboration site so that visitors can witness and comment on the process.

The event will be finished with an awards ceremony and presentations to the press. Award winners will be acknowledged as leaders in their field and masters of collaborative technologies.

Advance Steel 2016 Extension for Revit 2016

Autodesk introduced Advance Steel 2016 Extension for Revit. This newly launched Revit Extension, supports only Revit 2016. So the Revit users will get the ability to link their models to Advance Steel 2016 with the export, import and synchronize features to transmit the model BIM data.

With this interoperability, the users can quickly generate typical arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, BOMs, and NC files for steel structures.

As the BIM data is coordinated with the applications, the users will be able to update the revisions devoid of reimporting the whole structure. It also minimizes the risk of prospective errors with the chances of tracing changes occurred in the same model in diverse applications.

With Advance Steel 2016 Extension, the BIM data from the Revit model is imported or exported also in other formats like SDNF (Version 2.0 and Version 3.0), CIS2, IFC, and PSS.

Go through the following Revit youtube video, to get the detailed process for installing the Advance Steel 2016 Extension for Revit 2016.

BIMForMe – A cloud based tool for building professionals

CAD Studio Inc., the biggest authorized supplier of CAD, CAM, GIS and BIM solutions in East-Central Europe, recently launched a new improved solution called BIMForMe for the investors, owners, contractors, managers and users of buildings.

It is a cloud based tool that can easily connect BIM data (generated through Revit software) with the design and construction stage to fulfill the requirements of owner or operator of the building.

With BIMForMe, the users will be able to explore thorough the virtual 3D model, view 2D documentation and pursue individual building elements through filters and reports. The users not only can view attributes of model elements in a cloud environment, but also modify and insert new properties. Documents are connected with the individual elements, like technical specifications or warranty certificates.

BIMForMe facilitates the users to get updated with the crucial information of the building instantly & securely. All documents and properties are strongly preserved on the server and individual user accounts are allotted to groups having various types of access rights," adds Martin Slanec, manager of the AEC division at CAD Studio.

Some important features like planned inspections, warranty expirations, and other new functions for facility management (FM) will be added soon. All incidents can also be recorded as well as connected with the elements of the model."

BIMForMe contains all the information of a building under one roof. These informations are accessible from any place any time from mobile & other devices. Currently BIMForMe only supports the Czech and English languages.
