BlenderBIM is another 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 huge step for Blender in industry, this time in architecture and for an Autodesk Revit userbase. https://blenderbim.org/ Let's define some terms here. BIM stands for Building Information Model, and it represents a layer of abstraction for architectural function, as well as a ginormous component library. Pretty standard stuff. However, BlenderBIM's secret sauce is that it's entirely built on an open standard - IFC (Industrial Foundation Classes). IFC's a data model for buildings and their components, systems, and intangibles like construction schedules. IFC's well established, with a core Python library (IfcOpenShell) and a gigantic pile of other automation I wish I had the space to discuss here. IFC is currently mostly an EU thing right now, but it's going to be a hard thing to not use in the US, particularly in the regulatory space like hydropower, nuclear, shipyard design, and other such projects. IFC is also a fundamentally more efficient way to transfer information about infrastructure. Crap, it might be the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 efficient way to transfer information about infrastructure, unless you have a few million dollars to burn cooking up a custom ERP component, ETL or API with your favorite consultants. The headaches with IFC - notably, semantic denormalization making updates potentially horrifying - are solved problems with just a dash of LLM checker, or, hell, just a validator table. Needless to say, having it in Blender also is an absolutely freakin-𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵 jumping off point to making great visualizations/simulations of your building project. BlenderGIS nets you good geo data on top of that - specifically something I've heard real-life Revit users cussing about. Revit's in a bad place here. It's got a dump truck of technical debt, and can't afford an open IFC API on the framework they got. Autodesk's going to have an easier time extending an existing product - like, say Maya - but this is a low-margin sector, without the defense business inflating the costs of everything like it does with CAD/ERP. Autodesk might sit this one out. But who knows? I'm not a bigwig CAD tycoon. #Blender #BlenderBIM #IFC #IndustrialFoundationClasses #Revit #architecture #design #opensourcesoftware #BIM #buildinginformationmodeling

Delighted to share my recent certification achievement in BIM essentials like Dynamo and Scan to BIM! This cutting-edge technology revolutionizes architectural design and construction, offering endless possibilities. From converting point cloud data to creating detailed BIM models, essentials like Dynamo and Scan to BIM drive innovation and efficiency. Excited to apply this expertise to deliver exceptional results and advance my career! #Dynamo #ScanToBIM #CertificationSuccess The certification modules covered key aspects including: - Dynamo Interface. - Basics of Visual Scripting. - Geometries creation and control. - Logic and form governance. - Converting CAD plans to Revit walls instantly. - Parametric beam placement on non-uniform walls. - Advanced scripting understanding. - Simulations like Daylight and solar radiation analysis Ready to leverage these skills to excel in architectural projects and contribute to the industry's evolution! #ArchitecturalDesign #Innovation #ProfessionalDevelopment

🏗️ Unleashing the power of #Dynamo in construction. Dynamo is a powerful visual programming tool integrated with Autodesk Revit. It allows users to design buildings and infrastructure components through a flexible scripting environment, using nodes to create and manipulate data. It enables architects, engineers, and construction professionals to build and test complex structures with greater efficiency. Dynamo's practical applications in the construction and design industries are extensive, allowing professionals to push the boundaries of traditional methodologies In practice, it serves as a bridge between conceptual design and functional construction, allowing professionals to translate their ideas into executable construction plans with greater ease and accuracy. 👉 If this interests you, check out our #Postgraduate #Programme in #Parametric #Design with Visual Programming in BIM, where you will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools, preparing you to tackle complex design challenges with confidence: https://lnkd.in/dnAZhw63 Image credits: Marcello Sgambelluri, John Martin & Associates from Autodesk University. #ParametricDesign #VisualProgramming #BIM #Dynamo

See the missing or incorrect metadata on your objects, and use our #Revit plugin to get your properties in shape. Metadata made easy with Dalux: Two great features demonstrate the power and ease of #Dalux's Model Validation tools. Purpose Checks identify what properties are missing/incorrect, to whatever requirements you specify. Our Revit plugin then lets you update the data: one click, and Revit opens directly to the relevant object that needs to be changed or updated. #BIM #Construction

Large industrial projects face challenges in data management and communication. Combining 2D and 3D BIM models with blueprints can be complex. TEBIN has learned to streamline these processes: ↳ Enhanced visualization through 3D Overlays ↳ Advanced filtering of clash test results for cleaner views ↳ Visually informative issue tracking for efficient collaboration ↳ Seamless import of Revit sheets into Revizto with model coordinates Every building on Earth must be digital!

💪 Maximize your efficiency with the new stand-alone product Analytical Model Generator (AMG): Discover a faster, feature rich and robust method for generating analytical models directly within Autodesk Revit. 💪   But that's not all: Overcome common challenges of unconnected, misaligned and inefficient analytical models generated with native Autodesk Revit ‘Analytical Automation’. Understand the pivotal role of the AMG solution for Autodesk® Revit® developed by SOFiSTiK AG in maintaining a cohesive BIM workflow.   💡 Find out more in the webinar by SOFiSTiKated and SOFiSTiK AG: https://lnkd.in/eanBtxRP   👉 Follow the link and download the trial version: https://lnkd.in/eMg6-zUB   #AnalyticalModelGenerator #IntegratedAnalysis #StructuralAnalyticalModel #SOFiSTiK

The war for the AEC freedom is over! Openers won. With a simple tactic. The trojan horse. In IFC format. In this small demo you see a parametric 3D IFC element being "trained" with pythonocc and ifcopenshell. The algorithm knows what face is North, south, east, west, up, down. It calculates and retrievs areas and volume. And you can add Any metadata you need, eather as defined by BuildingSmart standard, or custom, as needed. But there is even more: You can read and modify existing IFC models. But is this magic? Nop. IFC is just a colection of formats, a database with: - STEP for 3D and 2D geometry - metadata for relevant data. I am pretty sure every software format în AEC uses the same logic. But this is just my small test for the editor module of Obim One Project. You have a more mature solution in BlenderBIM. . Ifc used to be the. pdf of BIM. Now is a model format as . rvt or. pln. And any software that exports the model in ifc format is open. Now it is just a problem of user experience and afortability. #LifeIsShort_Automate #ObimOneProject

I'm thrilled to share my first Dynamo script sample video! It showcases how to export blocks from CAD and insert them in the same location in Revit Model, streamlining the transfer of design elements and enhancing workflow efficiency. Check out the video and share your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable! #BIM #BIM_Modeler #Draftaman #Dynamo #Revit #Kaitech #Automation
