What Tools Mean
The greatest degree of parameterization is represented by the user's development of fully custom tools under the umbrella of the building information modeling (BIM) authoring software. The ingredients of BIM for design are the ingredients of all good design. The intelligence and semanticism of BIM is a highly significant concept. Those digital models that lack either intelligence or semantic distinctions of building elements cannot be readily analyzed. Such models may have components merely classed or layered by typology strictly out of a concern for their graphical representation, just as DWG layers are used to control object typology visibility and line weight. On a simpler level, SimTread is a BIM software plugin that simulates pedestrian egress patterns to help designers analyze and improve traffic patterns for events, evacuation, and emergency preparedness. Although a two‐dimensional simulation, pedestrian “agents” recognize barriers like walls, have variable rates of motion, and can exit through doors at realistic rates.
