I’ve been asked by one of my industry software provider friends to write a piece on the current state of Building Information Modeling (BIM), as it relates to estimating in the here and now. The topic has become increasingly relevant as the software driving the standard is evolving quickly. (Or No matter.) Why Design-Build?

When elements in the imported/linked file are very far from the file''s origin then Revit''s ability (of all CAD software by the way) to accurately display and describe information begins to suffer. The Revit development team is a bit more fussy about this than how other software confronts us with this concern.
