Learning Objectives

Building Information Models

Modeling data productivity and profitability - http://BIMXML.org

Extensible Markup Language

1

People can understand 3D Objects in BIM

Extensible Markup Language already manages Excel data on the Web

Excel can manage an almost infinite amount of BIM data

2

Objects can be a Dot

There can be more Excel data linked to a dot than to realistic objects

Data can range from very simple to very complex

Slide 3

A Space can be an Object

This builds up quickly . . .

Clearly defined data organization is key with BIMXML

4

Spaces can hold multiple ObjectsSpaces can be realistically detailed or symbolic

Related Excel files list information you organize

5

Spaces can have realistic objects . . . . . . and symbols in them at the same time

Visuals are just a reporting tool - the building information in Excel is key

6

Spaces can be on floors Floors can have geometric shapes and color codes

Multiple professions can code the same model in many ways

7

Floors can be in buildingsBuildings can be animated for construction sequencing

You can create “movies of the future” for your building (link)

8

Multiple buildings can create a CampusA campus can be in 2D and have multiple “D” in Excel

The US Coast Guard Academy uses this process (link)

9

Objects in Spaces . . .. . . in Buildings with Floors

A Building Information Model can be a BIM dot with infinite data

10

Web-based information can be very clearClear information improves professional decision making

This process is used in many industries and by the GSA (link)

11

Portfolios of Dots can be powerfulEvery chair in a company or institution can be in BIMXML

California Community College has 72 mil sq in BIMXML (link)

12

Understanding Levels of Detail is keyLevels of Detail - the right information available at the right time

Visual clarity of information improves profitability

13

Levels of Detail can be seen as dotsBIMXML shows clear information to many professionals

The US Army Corps of Engineers uses BIMXML (link)

14

Non-linear Thinking is Required Non-linear Levels of Detail improve productivity and profitability

Award Winning Case Studies are Available (link)

15

BIMXML supports multiple usesInformation from many programs can be brought together

Product installation and maintenance information can exist in one model

16

You probably already use XML Linking XML to Models provides surprising benefits

You do not need to learn XML or BIMXML to use it

17

Quickly connect data from many programsDiscover solutions to seemingly intractable business problems

BIMXML will even connect to future programs through Excel

18

“Industry Foundation Classes” code GeometryBIMXML inserts information into coded Geometry

You don’t need to code anything, but it helps to understand this concept

19

BIMXML is available todayThis simplified code standard provides proven benefits
