When BIM Coordination Gets Real @ 7 LAB , collaboration isn’t just about sharing Revit models, it’s about creating a clear, traceable, and smart process that keeps every discipline aligned from start to finish. Here’s how we do it 👇 Everyone works on Autodesk Construction Cloud, each model stored in a dedicated folder for full traceability. We merge all reservation models into one global file and run a strict quality check on parameters and standards. Coordination happens through BCF exchanges on ACC, keeping discussions structured and transparent. With Dynamo + Excel, we apply color codes to show reservations that are added, modified, deleted, or rejected. Once everything’s validated, the model goes to the Structural Engineering team, then straight to site with formwork plans. Sounds smooth, right? Yet in practice, we often hit the same wall, duplicate reservation numbers, mismatched data, and general model inconsistencies. So I’m curious: How do you handle this in your BIM workflows? Any tools, scripts, or strategies that keep your reservations consistent across disciplines? #BIM #AutodeskConstructionCloud #Revit #Dynamo #Excel #Coordination #DigitalConstruction #7LAB #CivilEngineering #BIMWorkflow #BIMCollaboration

✨ From CAD to BIM: A Journey Through Digital Construction ✨ The evolution of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has completely transformed how we design, collaborate, and deliver projects. 🔹 In the 1960s, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) brought digital drafting into architecture and engineering. 🔹 By 1987, Graphisoft’s ArchiCAD introduced one of the first true BIM platforms—going beyond lines to intelligent building models. 🔹 In 2000, Autodesk Revit revolutionized the industry with parametric modeling and a database-driven approach, setting the stage for the BIM workflows we rely on today. Today, BIM is more than just 3D models—it’s about data, collaboration, and smarter decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. 🚀 If your organization is exploring BIM adoption or looking to overcome implementation challenges, I can help drive the process with practical solutions and insights—let’s connect. #BIM #DigitalConstruction #ConstructionInnovation #Revit #ArchiCAD #AEC #ConstructionManagement #BuildingInnovation #SmartConstruction

🚀 30 Days, 30 Things About BIM — Day 2 🚀 Continuing my “30 Days, 30 Things About BIM” series, today’s topic is something every BIM professional should know early on — BIM Levels (0–3). BIM levels represent the maturity of information management in a construction project — basically how effectively data is created, shared, and used across teams. Here’s a quick overview 👇 🔹 Level 0 – CAD Drafting 2D drawings only. No collaboration or digital data sharing — just printed or electronic drawings. 🔹 Level 1 – Managed CAD A mix of 2D and 3D CAD. Information is managed digitally, but collaboration between disciplines is still limited. 🔹 Level 2 – Collaborative BIM This is where BIM really begins — multiple disciplines create models in their own software, and data is exchanged using open formats like IFC or COBie. 🔹 Level 3 – Integrated BIM (iBIM) A single, shared model used by all stakeholders in real time. It enables full collaboration, cloud integration, and lifecycle management — the future of digital construction. Each level brings teams one step closer to true data integration and smarter project delivery. Next up: Day 3 – BIM Dimensions (3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, 7D) 🏗️ #BIM #DigitalConstruction #AEC #Revit #Civil3D #Navisworks #Tekla #30DaysOfBIM #BuildingInformationModeling #BIMCommunity #LearningJourney

Static BIM Gigabytes or Parametric Editing at 60 FPS? 🤯 Most formats, like IFC-STEP, are great for archiving information. The problem is that when we open them in the browser, they are huge, slow, and barely let us interact with the geometry in a meaningful way. What if we told you there's a way to create and edit real BIM in real time. 💥 At That Open Company, we didn't just develop Fragments, our open native format that devours gigabytes of data in seconds. We also built a powerful geometric engine specifically for the AECO sector. Check this out: ✅ Parametric Configuration: We change the building's width or length. ✅ Deep Inspection: We use a dynamic clipping plane to inspect the internal structure (columns and slabs) instantly. ✅ Pure Performance: Everything happens at 60 FPS in any browser. This isn't just visualization. It's the freedom to build your own high-performance BIM configurators and modelers, without being enslaved to the old, proprietary tools. We are proving that it's possible to create and edit real BIM at native speed. This power, the geometric engine behind Fragments, is scaling to the next level with the launch of our new Editing API. This is the key for you to own your technology again. If you want to know what it's all about, more information is in the comments. #befreeagain

For years, BIM data has been locked inside heavy Revit and DWG files which made collaboration slow, inaccurate and hard to scale. By time passing Autodesk’s AEC Data Model API is trying to change that. Instead of loading entire models, you can now query BIM data directly from the cloud such that element by element, parameter by parameter. For AEC teams tis mean : 1- Faster access to model data without opening Revit 2- Seamless integrations with dashboards & analytics tools 3- Real-time model checks and QA/QC automation 4- Greater collaboration across disciplines From my opinion This shift is redefining how BIM, data, and automation work together in the cloud era.

Revit is about to get a serious upgrade, and it's not just another software update 🤖 AI integration in Revit is shifting from "nice to have" to "competitive necessity" faster than most firms anticipated. We're moving beyond basic automation into territory that fundamentally changes how we approach design and documentation. The game-changers I'm seeing in practice: AI-powered clash detection that doesn't just find conflicts but suggests practical solutions based on similar resolved issues from past projects. Automated code compliance checking that adapts to local building regulations and flags potential violations during design phases, not after submission. Generative design tools that can produce multiple structural and MEP layout options while optimizing for cost, sustainability, and constructability simultaneously. But here's what's really exciting—AI is starting to learn from your firm's specific design patterns and standards. Imagine Revit suggesting detail connections based on your company's preferred methods, or automatically applying your standard room layouts when you drop in a residential unit type. The learning curve is real though. Teams need time to train these systems with quality data, and there's an adjustment period where AI suggestions need human oversight. The firms succeeding are treating this as a gradual integration, not a wholesale replacement of existing workflows. The question isn't whether AI will transform Revit workflows—it's whether your team will be ready to leverage it effectively when your competitors already are. How is your firm preparing for AI-enhanced BIM workflows? #Revit #BIM #ArtificialIntelligence #ConstructionTech #DigitalTransformation

ACC in BIM: The Power vs. The Problem Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is now the CDE standard, centralizing BIM data for architects, engineers, and contractors. Its ability to unify models and connect global teams is a powerful step forward. However, the recurring friction points in demanding BIM workflows are clear: 1. Permission Paralysis: Managing complex, multicompany access rights is confusing, overly timeconsuming, and a consistent source of administrative error. 2. Cloud Worksharing Lag: Large Revit models often suffer from slow sync times and connection instability, undermining real-time collaboration. 3. Coordination Flexibility Gap: While automated clash detection is essential, ACC's Model Coordination lacks the granular filtering and control that power users depend on in Navisworks. 4. Interoperability Issues: Data exchange between ACC and other software (even within the Autodesk ecosystem) creates silos, breaking the smooth flow of information. The Bottom Line: ACC is a critical tool, but maximizing its value requires setting rigorous internal standards to navigate these technical limitations. Your thoughts? Which CDE are you primarily working with, and is interoperability your biggest current roadblock? #BIM #AutodeskConstructionCloud #AEC #BIMManagement #ConstructionTechnology

🚧 Planning vs Actual 4D Simulation 🚧 I’m excited to share a 4D simulation I created, showcasing the comparison between planned schedule vs actual progress of a project. This exercise demonstrates how BIM 4D workflows can bring transparency and efficiency by: 🔹 Linking time (schedule) with 3D models for better project visualization 🔹 Tracking deviations between planned vs actual construction activities 🔹 Helping stakeholders identify delays, risks, and optimization opportunities early 🔹 Improving collaboration across project teams With tools like Navisworks & Revit, 4D simulations allow us to bridge the gap between design and execution, ensuring projects are delivered on time and with improved coordination. Excited to keep exploring the power of BIM for project planning, monitoring, and control 🚀 #BIM #4D #Simulation #ConstructionManagement #ProjectPlanning #Navisworks #Revit #DigitalConstruction
