If anything, Navisworks is the only software that is able to bring all applications of BIM into one platform, and still that is only a small piece of BIM. I consider myself to be pretty good in Revit, but when it comes to actual modeling realistic equipment, Revit sucks. Anything you can do in Revit, I can do in Autocad MEP twice as fast, and it won't be generic (that includes stuff like balancing the load on elec panels). Revit is GREAT for Architects, and that's where it should stay. For the people that REALLY know BIM, we will continue to use Autocad MEP, Inventor, 3Ds Max, Solidworks, Civil3D and a laundry list of other BIM software that's better than Revit. Btw, I'm a BIM coordinator that put in the largest Arena and Stadium in the United States. Construction BIM guys would run circles around you design firm clowns using Revit.

Revit is a tool to achieve BIM, but you can also draw in Reivt and have absolutely no information as well. There are some people out there that use Revit as a 3d drafting tool with out putting one bit of information about the buildings except geometric information, which makes it no better then a static physical model.Valkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807794619927927764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641491334789816960.post-67492371641569900002013-03-14T14:19:50.172-06:002013-03-14T14:19:50.172-06:00Architectural Drafter using BIM in the real world ...Architectural Drafter using BIM in the real world here. What you mean is BIM is not Revit. I assure you Revit is a BIM software tool. When I create a set of drawings with Revit, it contains all of the BUILDING INFORMATION, thus it is a BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL.

The problem addressed here is not if this is REALLY the tool, but how people use it. Which is the main problem for me: the tool is available and it is a REAL BIM, just, user have still the same approach to it as to a standardised CAD software, and until this paradigm shift happens, you will have a real software BIM but not a really lived BIM.Savoyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641491334789816960.post-23847284780619157522008-03-31T22:29:00.000-06:002008-03-31T22:29:00.000-06:00David thank you for your input.

I just get frustrated with people that use BIM and Revit interchangeably, since BIM is a concept yet to be achived and Revit is one tool out of many that support the idea of BIM.<BR/><BR/>Georgia tech has a web site devoted to BIM, they even have a list of programs that support the BIM concept.<BR/>http://bim.arch.gatech.edu/app/bimtools/tools_list.aspValkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14807794619927927764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641491334789816960.post-18242824801979077512008-03-31T14:41:00.000-06:002008-03-31T14:41:00.000-06:00Revit is a Building Information Model in the sense...Revit is a Building Information Model in the sense that it attempts to accurately model the physical a meta-data characteristics of a building. The fact that it currently does not record all information about a building doesn't mean that it is not a BIM.<BR/><BR/>The problem you have touched upon is that a single BIM cannot possibly hold all the information related to a building. Unfortunately this problem gets compounded when considered across its entire building life-cycle. This limitation stems from the fact a single software product cannot hope to cover the infinite gamut of information needs posed by the building process. To overcome this the industry needs to either:<BR/><BR/>(a) Establish some means of integrating and interoperating between different BIM systems.<BR/><BR/>(b) Establish a meta-fabric like the Web which enables BIM systems to accurately and reliably reference other information points like the ones you identify.<BR/><BR/>Option (a) is a very difficult proposition given the level of vendor competition within the AEC marketplace. Industry Foundation Classes have been around for a while to facilitate interoperability between BIM systems, but the reliability of this format is flakey at best.<BR/><BR/>Personally I think BIM is just a stepping stone towards a broader concept around information management within the digital building industry. This industry has yet to fully embrace the principles behind the Web and once (if) it does the possibility of digitally solving the problems you identify will become more of a practical reality.<BR/><BR/>Revit is one of the best implementations of BIM available today. Unfortunately this only demonstrates that the concept of complete building information management is as elusive as ever.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243858289577082157noreply@blogger.com
