Where to Begin
Building information modeling (BIM) project is only as good as the components that were used to create it, and its graphic accuracy drives how it will appear in model views, drawing sheets, and rendered views. There are two ways to look at BIM content: based on what it is, and based on how it is implemented into a project. If the architects think about what it is, there are four core types of BIM components used within projects: materials, objects, assemblies, and details. When looking at how it is implemented, architects can organize it into three main categories: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The information in the model can be used to perform functions such as quantifying and qualifying each component, developing facility management databases, and documenting the project by leveraging the information contained to create the project manual. Developing a naming convention is essential to allow materials to be found quickly and viewed without interruption.
