Only by knowing a product inside out, the designers will also feel inclined to use them in the real world instead of finding other alternatives (which will involve finding necessary information all over again).
As they are modelled using real-world dimensions, it becomes easy to detect clashes in the main BIM model and correct them to prevent further errors.įor manufacturers, it also gives better exposure to their products. Moreover, BIM objects created by product manufacturers are even more reliable and are useful for cost estimation and analyses.Īnother advantage of using BIM objects is efficient clash detection. Using BIM objects can help project stakeholders reach informed decisions and go for the right design option. It ensures the right project information circulation throughout the project stages. What are the benefits of using BIM objects?īIM projects, being the direct 3D model representation of products, provide information on these products accessible to all project participants. Being BIM models themselves, making a change to the BIM object will automatically get reflected in the main model at any project stage. We can also say they are also BIM models, not of the building but of products. Only then it is a digital representation of, not only how the product looks, but also how it works.īIM objects are an essential part of the project BIM model. Such data becomes graphical data, including but not limited to, dimension, materials, colours and manufacturer’s information.Ī BIM object can only prove its usefulness by having accurate and relevant information embedded in it. Think information from product data sheets.
But what information and why?Īlong with geometrical information like dimensions, BIM objects are constructed with technical details that can show the functionality of the product in the real world. BIM objects are rich in information as they’re a part of the project BIM model.
