The easiest way to experience BIM objects is taking the IKEA kitchen planner for a spin. wooden frame), what are its expected lifetime (e.g. acoustic values), what material is it (e.g. according to omniclass), what is its performance (e.g. That metadata could be what kind of object is it (e.g. In addition the BIM object have metadata that describes it. The BIM object usually have 3d geometry that describe their physical appearance. If you come from a CAD world you could say that the BIM objects are the BIM version of CAD symbols/ blocks but with much more data and intelligence involved. What are BIM objects?īIM objects are digital equivalents of products or materials. We point out some of the limitations, and mention ways we hope the industry will evolve. Both the use of BIM objects and the BIM libraries themselves have shortcomings. We will briefly see who are building object libraries and how the business models of providing free repositories are.Īs expected, we will see that this is an immature industry. Most of the manufacturer specific BIM object libraries are free for the consumer (designer, contractor and owner) the same way that product catalogues and brochures are free to the public. We look at what formats are supported and how properties and documentation are mapped to common exchange formats in the industry. We will look at the content, structure and functionality of these repositories and see how far along they have come. Then we will introduce some common BIM object repositories. We will look at some common usage scenarios and workflows for BIM objects and focus on their role in handover from construction to operations. In this article we will describe what BIM objects are and why they are critical for lifecycle BIM. You cannot build anything without materials and products. If BIM is virtual construction then BIM objects are virtual products and virtual building materials you bring to the construction site. “Product quality matters - also in the digital world” Menu BIM objects - in the asset lifecycle 26 February 2016 on BIM, Handover, IFC, interoperability, openBIM, BIM objects
