Bluebeam Software launched a new version of it's Revu software alias Revu 10

Bluebeam Software, just launched Bluebeam Revu 10 in versatile languages like Norwegian, Swedish, German, Danish and Finnish.  The architects, engineers and construction professionals will now experience better collaboration, project communication and integrated cloud storage system with their digital workflow. The most significant features of Revu 10 is the ability to 3D PDF creation and markup to 3D views.

Some advanced features with Revu 10

Bluebeam Studio™ projects – With this high tech document management system the users will be able to get more space to easily & freely pile up and share files (5GBs of PDFs and other Windows files)  in the cloud. Non-Revu users can avail PDFs accumulated in Studio with the help of new free PDF viewer from Bluebeam. 

3D PDF formation and markup – This feature is useful for Revu CAD and eXtreme™ users to generate a full page PDF of the 3D model. The user can also make 3D PDF with Revit® and Navisworks® Manage plugin. Adding markups to 3D views is also possible for Revu customers. Markups are denoted with blue spheres and provided in the markup list. This feature will facilitate each project team member to communicate multifaceted design changes exclusive of any costly BIM application.

Links – Revu 10 contains new hyperlink manager utilized to configure hyperlinks in PDF (put in, view and edit hyperlinks) quickly to view websites, network files, visit particular pages or snapshot views. If a hyperlink is altered Revu can revise all occurrences instantly.

Outlook® Plug-in

In Revu 10 there exists a Microsoft® Outlook plug-in which is applied to record your emails for future application. It can also transfer email messages to PDF. Revu identifies all email hyperlinks and attachments. The users can convert an entire folder of email messages into one PDF package easily.

Identify BIMwash to get true service provider on Building Information Modeling

BIM Wash is a terminology providing the false claim for applying or delivering Building Information Modelling products or services.

Some BIM service providers or companies often use this term to exaggerate their BIM competence for getting projects. These types of companies can support their unjustifiable claims of BIM competence with the help of its staff, website, project submissions and/or marketing material.

 

A haphazard understanding of BIM results in losing both in terms of efficiency and cost.

BIMwash usually prevails when an individual, organization or project team’s BIM Claim is considerably superior than its actual BIM capability to carry on these claims.

Besides, service providers, BIMwash can also be performed by the following :-

• Software developers and their resellers engaging to blow up the benefits of particular tools/software asserting that their product is ‘a comprehensive BIM solution’.
• Clients/owners acclaiming the BIM product/service which is not understandable by them and if the service submitted to them, they have lack of internal capacity to appropriately use and sustain. 
• Consultants and advisors who augment the outcomes of their services on the BIM implementation procedure.

So observation of the level of BIM-wash currently going on in your marketplace is primary significant step towards identifying it.

The various levels of BIMwash

Once BIM processes and protocols are not accepted or are recognized as same as CAD. It happens at the time of basic model exchanges are mystified with model-based collaboration. In case of a Model Server is perplexed with a File Server or a Document Management System.

The persons not understanding the multifaceted implications of BIM concepts are trying to unintentionally puzzle themselves, their clients and/or project partners.

BIMwash may arise when ingenuousness manifests itself once the link involving a BIM deliverable and its requisites are not accepted or when a few BIM deliverables and their requisites are recognized. It occurs at the time of basic BIM deliverables (as for example coordinated drawings or model-based clash detection) are supported as progressive innovations.

BIMwash may result when a practitioner declares its BIM competencies with the help of its BIM capacity statement, website or blog but only been able to moderately accomplish by a local team on a few projects.

BIMwash may happen when a pre-BIM service provider pretenses as extremely BIM-competent, effectively bids-for and achieves a huge BIM-mandated project.

BIM can improve quantity surveying process greatly

BIM & Quantity Surveying

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is now liable for executing many traditional QS functions automatically with its 4D modeling capabilities.

A Building Information Modeling (BIM) system can computerize the measurement of quantities from construction drawings. This will facilitate contractors to have design documents which include exact quantities and specified materials in electronic format.

With the utilization of a correctly configured Building Information Model, an exact bill of quantities (BOQ) can be generated automatically. The BOQ is then applied to create reports in the essential format. This is performed with any phase of the QS dispatch ranging from estimating, tendering and construction control.

By utilizing BIM the contractors will be able to keep a visual record of what has been measured where. This will help contractors to detect clashes and co-ordination errors.

The importance of BIM from a measurement and costing viewpoint :-

i) It will form the geometry of what has been or might be designed.

ii) Identify the work scope in Bills of Quantities and colonize the Bills with quantities from the model

iii) Specification, auto-annotating the 3D and 2D drawings from the model including dynamically linking the Bill descriptions to the specification.

BIM allows the entire design team to perform on the same plans eliminating the requirements to digitize drawings. In a BIM process entire supply chain is involved and the material manufacturer will get the ability to contribute their own costs. The huge time saving is possible on the cost planning phases. Besides BIM also provide better cost models to fulfill the demand for VFM (value for money) all through the sustainable building development.
