First we need to install the plugin or the Catenda Hub (previously Bimsync) extension in Archicad and restart the program. In addition, since 3D model reviews can be easily performed by less “expert” participants, more people can be involved in the review process.įrom Catenda Hub (Catenda’s open Common Data Environment – previously Bimsync) it is possible to view the uploaded models directly from Archicad and visually communicate any deficiencies or changes detected.
The implication of other agents is necessary for this review task because it requires a fast and secure communication flow. The objective is to reduce errors in the virtual world before moving on to construction in the real world. One of the main uses of BIM, or at least one of the uses that is applied first in all teams that start with the methodology, is the control and improvement of the quality of projects. But thanks to open BIM formats ( Industry Foundation Classes IFC and BIM Collaboration Format BCF), interoperability is now a reality. Not so long ago, the possibility of sharing something between different programs was doubtful. Interoperability between tools or programs makes transversality possible. In that way, any help, any platform that allows transversality between tools is always welcome.
It is also true that each technician masters their own tool, and it is not usually comfortable to have to work with the tools used by other people. In order to facilitate this collaboration between different professionals, it is necessary to design workflows that allow the transmission of information of all kinds, from communications to models, drawings or documents. Collaboration between participants of the same team but also between members of different teams and managers from other disciplines.
One of the most repeated mantras among users of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology is that BIM means “Collaboration”.
