Okay, I know they are trying… “they” being major “BIM” vendors such as Autodesk/Revit…and a far second Graphisoft/Archicad. True, 3D is nice… but VISUALIZATION is better. But, are these folks a significant part of the reason why BIM isn’t taking hold? Why BIM is so misunderstood?
A kind Scandinavian Archicad-expert posted a message on my blog: Well, look at what the Norwegian government building agency (Norway’s largest building owner) is specifying: [link]. Why NOT reason with more graphics, visually? and I read through it obligingly – adamant to suspend my cynicism and find the really useful in the document.
3D visualization tools, such as Revit, Archicad, Bentley, etc. Uncategorized active archicad bas Bentley Systems BIM building Built Environment CAFM capital reinvestment CMMS considerations cPMS digital technology. 3D visualization tools efficient project delivery methods Facility functional impacts.
While the industry is currently fixated upon 3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, Bentely… they only represent components of a BIM solution. First and foremost BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology.
That said, BIM has been preoccupied with 3D visualization to the extent that many/most feel that Revit, Archicad, et al are all that’s needed to implement BIM. BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology.
3D visualization tools, aka Revit, Archicad, etc. BIM is the life-cycle management of facilities (built structures) supported by digital technology. simply components of BIM.
Revit, Archicad et al… are NOT BIM, but rather 3D visualization components of BIM. Visual estimating/automatic quantity take off ( QTO), and collaborative contract/project/document management, are all in one application. BIM is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology.

While the specification system has detailed guidance and links to standards, regulations and suggested values, geometric BIM software has great visualization analysis and instance scheduling functionality. Aside from this coordination debate, practices will also need to decide and establish office policies on where information is recorded.

There is a term called visual weight. Visual weight is the property that gives elements in a design an ability to draw attention. If an element has a light visual weight that means that the element is unlikely to catch the attention or draw the eye of someone. Visual balance works just the same as physical balance.
Forget the 3D visualization distraction for a moment and let’s focus on the important component of the BIM acronym; the “I” for information. Similarly CAD-centric visualization tools, such as Revit and AutoCad [from Autodesk], SketchUp (graphical design), Archicad, Bentley, etc. INTRODUCTION.
BIM is NOT 3D modeling (Revit, Archicad, Bentley, etc.), BIM is the visualization and modeling of the built environment to assist in associated decision support, via ANY means, leveraging digital technology. This is a radical departure from the current focus upon “first cost” or ” initial cost” mentality.

Innovaya also does visualization, communication, quantity takeoff, construction simulating, and so on. ArchiCAD vs Revit. Cost will do cost estimating. Interfaces with Primavera. Innovaya & Timberline – Also does cost estimating and will interface with Primavera and Microsoft Project. Knowledge Base. Partner Products.
Being more visual, this is probably the perfect programming enviroment for architects. ArchiCAD vs Revit. Building highly parametric families that flex can be just as tedious as software programming if youre not familiar with the "programming language" or in this case the many rules and shortcuts for family file creation.
