3D models are useful . The use of 3D models in BIM help attain and assemble parts and create CAD drawings .
The main advantages that the use of BIM technology provides in home design are as follows :
• Enhanced business outcomes through intelligent design
• Expanded service offers and capacity through collaboration and an increase in the quality and efficiency of services
• Increased technical expertise in virtual building modelling
• An integrated workflow . All views show the changes made .
There are even more advantages . Rendering
BIM resources are also useful in developing high-quality building design in the field of effective and precisely rendered images . Computer-generated renderings are the products of a process that creates photo-realistic models by using colors , textures and a range of virtual objects . This 3D model allows clients to view a planned building with a realistic feel . In the AEC industry , the BIM process is being increasingly used in 3D architectural rendering . For example , Revit , a widely used BIM software tool , features advanced and useful ways to improve quality and accuracy in rendering by adding color , texture , flooring , ceiling features , fixtures , furniture and more . The 3D visualization produced helps architects , designers , clients , contractors and others view a photo-realistic image . Generally , these images used to be flat or ones with basic shadows . With BIM technology and sophisticated software , lighting and materials can be approximated accurately enough to enhance presentations .
The different options in rendered images include :
• Still renderings
• 3D walk-through and fly-by animations
• Virtual tours
• Floor plans
• Photo-realistic 3D rendering
• Real-time 3D rendering
• Panoramic rendering
• Light and shadow ( sciography ) study rendering
• Renovation rendering ( photomontage )
Both interior and exterior views can be rendered to further enhance the design process . For example , small landscaped portions can effectively break up paved areas and even transform functional areas , such as a car back-up space . By using plants and specialised paving material , these spaces can become desirable and functional front-door entries . Even auto-circulation spaces can be designed for multi-use , such as landscaping , gardening and recreation .
Detailed features can be displayed in interior design with software tools such as ARCHLine . XP , which is an architectural design software tool for BIM . This software allows collaboration with other
