Something is
fundamentally wrong with the way AEC manages its information:
We have numerous
solutions available to handle large amounts of paper-based (flat) drawings in a
reasonably sophisticated way. There exists a significant number of commercially
available tools to collect, track, distribute, measure-off, even mark-up these drawings
electronically.
Yet, I know of
no application that works within these systems with the sole objective to
automatically and efficiently reconstruct sets of 2D drawings into a ‘quasi 3D
depository’.
Imagine, if
Aconex (or equivalent) had created a 3 dimensional grid based on the
drawing-set it got fed-in and placed every drawing on it in the right position
(i.e. sections, details, elevations…);
Should not be
too difficult, should it?
Every drawing is
supposedly well referenced (grids, orientation, levels), should be a real piece
of cake.
Users would then
easily locate details, sections, elevations, zoom in and out, jump between
views, a bit like the way Google Map and Google Street view work.
Truth to be
told, I’m not that keen on the idea, since even most
‘pedestrian-BIM-approaches’ address this need already adequately.
On the other
hand, still experiencing how zillions of non-BIM users within the AEC work, I
say, that either everyone truly has the supernatural ability to simultaneously
process and cross reference thousands of 2D drawings or a large percentage of
them are in fact, faking understanding.
