BIM Platform Management can greatly enhance the efficiency of BIM applications by integrating, calculating, and analyzing data from various BIM models before applying it to work guidance. This process significantly boosts project operational capabilities. So, let’s discuss which functions should be included in BIM platform management.
1. Issue Release and Component Information Extraction
This feature enables users to select relevant components directly from the BIM model when publishing issues, even if the description is unclear. The system automatically retrieves the basic data of the component within the issue window, linking it as the related component of the issue. Additionally, explanations can be provided for individual components. A complete issue record should include the project, region, title, BIM components, BIM labels (and viewpoints), attachments, and textual explanations to help recipients quickly understand the problem.
2. Automatic Tracking and Highlighting of Issue Components
When users search for an issue that has stored related components, they can click on components in the BIM component list. The system will then automatically focus on and highlight the selected component, assisting users in quickly locating and assessing the relevant parts involved in the issue.
3. Issue Discussion Module
This module allows project stakeholders to receive and discuss issues relevant to them. Users can reply to and engage in discussions on specific topics. Replies, similar to publishing an issue, can include BIM components, viewpoints, attachments, and image explanations. The system organizes all replies and discussions chronologically for easy reference.
4. BIM Viewpoint Storage
Users can save the viewpoint information of the BIM model they are currently viewing, including position, direction, elevation, distance, and scale. This enables project participants to quickly access the exact 3D view and clearly understand the overall context of the location or component described by the originator.
5. Issue Search Module
As the number of project issues grows, finding relevant information without an effective search system can be time-consuming. This module allows users to quickly search ongoing or closed issues using criteria such as the issue creator, publication date, building type, floor number, and more. Additionally, users can search related issues by selecting BIM components or by room number.
6. BIM Components and Issue Association
This function lets users query ongoing or historical discussion topics linked to specific components. The platform stores all component data exported from BIM models in an external component database, while issue-related content is kept in the BIMICM database. Originally separate, these databases become integrated via this feature by automatically mapping relevant component numbers from issues to those in the component database, creating a unified, correlated database.
That wraps up our overview of essential functions in BIM platform management. We hope this article has been helpful to you!
