{"product_id":"bim-content-development-isbn-9780470583579","title":"BIM Content Development","description":"From the cutting-edge of technology comes this book on Building Information Modeling (BIM), the newest technology in the AEC industry that allows the professional to create 3D models of a building that includes much more data than a traditional 2D CAD file. Developing BIM Content explains the type of information that can go into a BIM model from a vendor-neutral perspective and explores different methods for organizing content. For anyone interested in creating feature-rich BIM object and models that work on any platform, this is a must-have reference.

To fill this void, this book explores the different approaches used in designing a BIM model and incorporates them into one cohesive strategy that serves as a digital road map going forward.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBIM Content Development:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eDetails the various types of information (graphic and data) that Building Information Modeling (BIM) can gather about a building, such as its dimensions and material, its performance, its functionality, its interaction with other structures, and how often it must be maintained\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresents a vendor-neutral approach to thinking about, organizing, and managing data used to create a 3D building model\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003eCovers the different methods for organizing content, such as CSI's MasterFormat®, Uniformat, OmniClass, and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eProviding the means and methods for effective content creation, \u003ci\u003eBIM Content Development\u003c\/i\u003e offers sound guidance for graphic standards and data management solutions to maximize the ability of professionals to operate on any BIM software platform—and shows how to strengthen the decision-making process to unleash powerful tools for modeling a building's informational profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988811628773,"sku":"NP9780470583579","price":83.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470583579.jpg?v=1761781686","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/bim-content-development-isbn-9780470583579","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
