This is the third blog post in a series that discusses the advantages of working on concrete projects in a BIM process for structural engineers. Segmentation is dictated by engineering, architectural, or fabrication requirements, and its reinforcement is determined by the structural engineer.

For an increasing number of them, this transition entails moving from two-dimensional (2D) drawings to three-dimensional (3D) digital modeling. Invariably, this saves our [builder] clients thousands of dollars on each project,” he says, by essentially building their structure before they do. Tech Tools for Builders: Mobile Apps.

Today, we store all of our documents in the cloud. This means there's no longer any doubt over where the latest version of a document is or whether we're working from the most up-to-date drawing. Personally, I have always hated creating working drawings and placing dimensions on them one by one.

Structural engineers can use schematic connectors to define requirements. Detailers can use them to produce shop drawings. This feature improves level of details for reinforcement modeling and documentation. Rebar connectors interact with the rebar that they connect to, facilitating change management.
