Integrating and Managing Bim in Gis, Software Review

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Since the advent of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Geographical Information System (GIS) tools, project participants have been increasingly leveraging these tools throughout the different phases of a civil infrastructure project. In recent years the number of GIS software that provides tools to enable the integration of Building information in geo context has risen sharply. More and more GIS software are added tools for this purposes and other software projects are regularly extending these tools. However, each software has its different strength and weakness and its purpose of use.This paper provides a thorough review to investigate the software capabilities and clarify its purpose. For this study, Autodesk Revit 2012 i.e. BIM editor software was used to create BIMs. In the first step, three building models were created, the resulted models were converted to BIM format and then the software was used to integrate it. For the evaluation of the software, general characteristics was studied such as the user interface, what formats are supported (import/export), and the way building information are imported.

Trends and Opportunities of BIM-GIS Integration in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry: A Review from a Spatio-Temporal Statistical Perspective

“…Web-based open source platform is considered as a well-behaved tool for the sharing and fusion of 3D information in digital buildings [52,[64][65][66][67]. In addition to the building and urban database management, comparison studies and comprehensive applications are performed to explore the advantages and disadvantages of 3D display methods and software, including 3D GIS, BIM, CAD, CityEngine, 3D Studio Max and SketchUp [68][69][70][71].…”

A Precise Urban Component Management Method Based on the GeoSOT Grid Code and BIM

“…Currently, the combination of GIS and BIM technologies has become a trend that has great demand. This combination is widely regarded as a major research direction to break through the bottlenecks in current research areas, such as urban management, environmental planning, and emergency management [8][9][10][11][12][13]. This paper also starts from this basis and proposes a new urban management method to meet these needs.…”

From IFC to 3D Tiles: An Integrated Open-Source Solution for Visualising BIMs on Cesium

“…Recent years have witnessed immense demands for integrating BIM with existing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) [6][7][8][9][10][11]. BIM provide rich geometric and semantic information through the building lifecycle and use an object-oriented approach to describe the characteristics and behaviors of each building component, as well as its relationships with other components [12].…”

“…2018, 7, 393 2 of 12 spatial features [6]. They model the spatial information in a complimentary way, and the BIM-GIS integration is widely considered [6,7,10,11] as a path forward for improving the power of using multidimensional data available at multiple granularity levels to support research fields such as energy, environment, navigation, planning, and emergency management. Tremendous research efforts have been devoted to this field in the past decade, from data level (including geometry-level and semantic-level) integration, to process level integration, and to application level integration [6,13,14].…”
