AECCafe Industry Predictions for 2019 – Part 2

Thursday, January 17th, 2019

Welcome to the second installation of our series of AECCafe Industry Predictions for 2019. This week we have a number of submissions focusing on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning implementations as primary technologies featured for 2019. The trend has already begun but definitely will be shaping the AEC industry in the year to come and beyond.  As Tibor Szolnoki of GRAPHISOFT says, “Augmented Reality becomes common practice: in collaborative design processes, in job-site applications, and in consumer applications (like home-design solutions).”

AECCafe Voice Special Report: What Makes for BIM Interoperability?

Thursday, September 27th, 2018

The built environment is increasingly more digitized, relying heavily on large building models to hold all aspects of a building project. Thus, the need for BIM Interoperability is greater as the necessity grows for stakeholders to be able to access the information inside these complex and huge models.

ABDCE_disciplines: AECOsim Building Designer, Bentley’s multi-discipline BIM application, provides architectural, structural, electrical, and mechanical tools so you can coordinate your designs better across disciplines with a streamlined workflow.

For AEC firms, it is very common to use multiple software products within the same organization, as well as outside the organization. No single BIM software solution or integrated system can fulfill the requirements of the AEC industry. All these products throughout the design process need to be able to communicate with one another.

Standards organizations have come forward to suggest that they have the answer to interoperability in the BIM world. But currently what most vendors are able to achieve is perhaps an increase in interoperability. Does anyone offer total interoperability?

Some of our respondents define BIM interoperability in this way:

“Interoperability is about handing over the right amount of information, to the right people at the right time,” says David Lash, product manager, Trimble, Tekla Structures Division. “It’s about hitting milestones for people who want to stay up to date with the wider project, even on a daily basis.”

“Communication, communication, communication,” says Joe Eichenseer, director, Building Lifecycle Solutions, North America IMAGINiT. “Interoperability allows us to communicate better and reduce or eliminate the chance of translation errors between systems.”

GRAPHISOFT ARCHICAD 22 Focuses on Modeling, Performance and Information Management

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018

ARCHICAD 22 is focused on modeling, information management and performance. Some of those include:

  • Smooth and responsive navigation ensured for all model views.
  • Major performance enhancements noticeable when panning and zooming
  • Generation of complex element fills done by GPU acceleration
  • ARCHICAD balances calculation tasks so all cores finish their tasks at the same time.
  • An improved navigation caching algorithm
  • High resolutions support on Windows allows for sharper display of details.

AECCafe Voice’s Reality Capture Questionnaire

Wednesday, February 28th, 2018

Reality Capture has taken the AEC world by storm in recent years with its ability to capture existing conditions and create 3D models out of photographs or laser scans, without seams. Technologies used include 3D laser scanning, mobile and aerial LiDAR, and photogrammetry. This resulting point data is reconstructed into a 3D model. While accurate, LiDAR only captures 3D data leaving color out. Photogrammetry is another method by which Reality Capture is achieved. This type of Reality Capture uses photographs to reconstruct a 3D image.

An image in Bentley’s ContextCapture photo planning that shows operation (gray), 
target (yellow), and forbidden (red) zones.
