The future of web visualization is Open Source?
In a market dominated by Forge and Autodesk services, the IFC.js library, built on the IFC standard and the Three.js engine, is positioning itself as a very interesting alternative for creating applications for architectural data visualization and querying on the web. Although it currently lacks the level of polish and integration offered by Forge (it’s…
Read MoreBeyond BIM: VCD
And if you are reading this article, it’s because you are beyond BIM. When the implementation of #BIM becomes mature within an organization, the next step may be to leverage the #data and #information generated by all parties involved so that processes align to achieve the common goal, which usually is to execute the project on time and within budget. What…
Read MoreACC: Use and benefit of BIM on-site
1. ACC – Introduction It’s time to roll up our sleeves and build what we’ve designed. We aim to leverage all the BIM project development and generated information to save money on construction. Let’s remember that the construction site is that small world where everything is needed yesterday, or where incident communication translates into email…
Read MoreBIM in hospital engineering
Let’s try to summarize in this brief post the coordination and problem-solving work (engineering) we’ve carried out in recent hospital construction projects (5 to date, +500,000 m2), utilizing the BIM tools at our disposal and the procedures and workflows we continue to refine with our acquired experience. Typically, we differentiate the tasks in our BIM…
Read MoreBlockchain and BIM: 2. Use and economy
This is the second part of a series of articles about Blockchain and BIM. If you haven’t read the first part yet, you can do so here. Now that I’m already working in BIM, should I dive into deploying/hiring a Blockchain-based solution? Obviously, it depends… Let’s try to be a bit more specific by answering…
Read MoreBlockchain and BIM: 1. Introduction
A clarification before we begin: The ideas presented in this series of articles on BIM and Blockchain stem from our personal opinión, based on our experience and are defined within a very specific timeframe. Technology changes very quickly, and these observations could become obsolete in a short time. What is Blockchain? In simple terms, we…
Read MoreScan to BIM is not CAD to BIM
Today we briefly share our experience with Scan to BIM for asset digitization: Over the past 2-3 years, we’ve #digitized more than 500,000 m2 of industrial, logistical, #retail and historical buildings using laser scanning and point cloud technology, working interchangeably with FARO Technologies and Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon and their #softwares: #scene, #register360. Therefore, this extensive experience has provided us with a unique execution capability, and…
Read MoreBIM in WEB: how to export and visualize website BIM models
The AEC industry continues to seek its place in the #metaverse, but finding the best way to utilize BIM models in this environment is not an easy task. At ATBIM, we implement web viewers to leverage these digital assets (BIM models) that seem more real, accessible, and easy to use… Because if we do all…
Read MoreBIM in renewable energy projects
The #BIM methodology (Building Information Modeling) has revolutionized the way buildings are designed, built, and maintained, including infrastructure such as photovoltaic installations. As a result, at ATBIM, we apply BIM methodology for the design and execution of these installations. Harnessing the power of data to optimize design, positioning, placement, and wiring or sequencing. Is in…
