A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This chapter expands the sphere of building information models (BIM), enlarging it outside the space of a particular building model operating within a given application platform. It discusses the role of collaboration in the context of BIM for envelope‐dominated projects. The chapter looks at mechanisms for effectively sharing BIM models, derived views, and general project information while allowing various stakeholders to exercise their respective expertise and design freedom. It addresses some of the particulars of importing and exporting building information and model parts to and from members of the project team, all of whom will not necessarily be using the same software platform, nor be BIM‐capable. SketchUp Pro can export models as 3DS files, a popular format native to Autodesk 3ds Max, a highend 3D modeler. Most civil, structural, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers even now still use conventionally drafted CAD files, almost universally prepared with AutoCAD.
