BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the life-cycle management of the built environment supported by digital technology. I am “mad as hell” at how 3D visualization vendors have marketed BIM. Sure 3D visualization is a great tool, and a valuable component of BIM… but in itself, 3D visualization is NOT BIM.
