“I hate accuracy in CAD!” Over the recent times, often guided by PI insurers, design consultants have developed an almost pathological fear of dimensioning. In CAD/BIM world, dimensioning became an after-thought – if the CAD file was accurate, a somewhat automated afterthought.

Should documentation that is based on a coordinated 3D digital model be charged at a higher price than straight CAD-ed one is? For example, an international consultancy I’ve been working with for a while now (7000+ people employed worldwide) likes to claim to be at the forefront of BIM application within its core services.

Because you need to own the drawings to have sufficient access to the CAD objects, or be on a truly team-oriented project that shares its resources openly among all project players. In the building sector, BIM is largely confined to the design-build arena. Why Design-Build? Not found on the conventional (read archaic) low-bid project!

The other issue is when the data in the CAD file is small enough in extents but really far away from the files origin, according to the WCS which is all Revit really pays any attention to. This manifests itself in snap icons that appear to miss the element we are attempting to reference in the CAD file. My Loyal Readers! Other Links.

I created a video to describe what happens when Revit contours dont quite match up with the underlying cad file contours that were used to generate a toposurface. The first part of the video explains that the Site Settings usually dont match the contour interval settings of the cad source file. Changing these settings is often enough.

A good modeller will have plenty of opportunities to model, but rule number one is, that the ‘drawings’ are priority, what consultancies get paid for. CAD drawings never become universally accepted contractual documents and the risk/liability issues of that ‘language’ are significantly less difficult than what making models ‘real’ would be.
