AutoCAD is not a BIM authoring tool. Although it has some 3D capabilities, those are also geometric drawings rather than detailed 3D simulations. It does not have internal clash detection which can lead to MEP overlaps. MEP engineers and architects cannot open the Navisworks file in AutoCAD dir...
SCAN TO BIM Scan to BIM: Reality capture meets actionable data models Bring more accurate, efficient automated processes to building and site documentation. Architects work on digital models on their computers. What is scan to BIM? Scan to BIM is a workflow or process that translates laser-scann...

How Does Vectorwork Works? The VectorWorks Software Company has created a program for every purpose in the industry that it targets:- 1. VectorWorks Architect for creating BIM Models, blueprints, constructional designs and artworks. 2. VectorWorks Landmark for Landscape designs and Structural Grids ...
How Does BIM Help Mitigate Construction Risks? Risk management means analyzing the different aspects of a project, identifying possible issues, and working on ways to either prevent them or minimize their impact on the overall project. There are a lot of risk categories that need to be taken in...
3D scanning devices emit and use lasers to capture the XYZ coordinates of a particular site, structure, or building. The data it gathers are considered to be more accurate than those from traditional methods. Through these data, 3D maps are created using BIM. Both the...
The machines need correct data to work; they do not run themselves. Furthermore, the design and production software data needs to be compatible. Engineers should design precast concrete elements using CAD or BIM software to make technical drawings and support the elements’ automatic manufacturing. ...
BIM bam, boom: how building information modeling can help contractors work more efficiency inside and outside the sheet metal shop.Cramer, MattQuigley, Dave
Like any other field, getting the right tools can significantly improve the quality of your work. Same goes for design, especially with artificial intelligence. There are several tools out there, each with their unique features, but let us take a look at them to help with your decision making...
