My friend Bhanu presented last
night at the buildingSMART user group’s monthly meeting.
An enthusiastic Revit supporter, I
respect Bhanu also for his open-mindness and preparedness to listen to
alternative ideas. So, I went along.
I was also interested to see where he’d
taken the ‘giant bowl of spaghetti project’ we jointly started up about a year
ago and I had abandoned while still at the earth-worm stage.
Bhanu duly acknowledged my presence
(thank you) and certainly impressed me with the completed file.
Clash detection give-or-take, this
spin-able, coordinated digital model was well worth the effort. Especially when
I recall the media used for design interpretation prior to Bhanu’s model being
in existence.
Admittedly, there was a pretty good
Sketchup model coming from one of the specialists, a petty for all, that due to
its heaviness, no computer could manipulate it within the office.
Driving home, another question kept
annoying me: ‘BIM user groups’.
Why are they called such?
Shouldn’t they be ‘BIM practitioners’
groups’ instead?
The latter term sounds more appropriate
to me, yet ‘BIM user groups’ prevail in all searches I’ve conducted.
It may just be an innocent residue from
dominant software user-assembly naming practices, I wonder.
Unless, of course the members boldly
wish to convey a message I was so far unaware of.
‘We use BIM to achieve something!’…
But what?
Hmmm…
Thanks Zolna, it is you, initiated my interests towards Construction BIM process and made me understand real benefits....thanks for your presence and appreciation...
