“…Visualizing and rendering BIM models requires less interactivity compared to gaming environments. Literature suggests that an FPS value of 30 Hz is acceptable when interacting with BIM models [38]. Most BIM tools, such as the Solibri Model Viewer, provide the ability to view BIM models from various viewpoints.…”

“…The Solibri Model Viewer was used for visualization of BIM models in IFC format. The reason for selecting Solibri Model Viewer was that a recent investigation of BIM visualization tools found that this viewer performs well when compared to other tools [38]. To perform various queries on BIM models, the xBIM toolkit (More details about xBIM is provided on https://github.com/xBimTeam) was used since it provides the ability to query and manipulate IFC files.…”

“…The number of objects and geometry batches metrics are suggested as appropriate measures for the size and complexity of BIM models [39]. The frame per second (FPS) metric is typically used to measure visualization speed and real-time interaction with BIM models [38]. The query time metric is also an important factor when a user wants to search for and retrieve specific information from BIM models [40].…”

Multistorey buildings typically include stratified legal interests which provide entitlements to a community of owners to lawfully possess private properties and use communal and public properties. The spatial arrangements of these legal interests are often defined by multiplexing cognitively outlined spaces and physical elements of a building. In order to support 3D digital management and communication of legal arrangements of properties, a number of spatial data models have been recently developed in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) domains. While some data models, such as CityGML, IndoorGML or IFC, provide a merely physical representation of the built environment, others, e.g., LADM, mainly rely on legal data elements to support a purely legal view of multistorey buildings. More recently, spatial data models integrating legal and physical notions of multistorey buildings have been proposed to overcome issues associated with purely legal models and purely physical ones. In previous investigations, it has been found that the 3D digital data environment of BIM has the flexibility to utilize either only physical elements or only legal spaces, or an integrated view of both legal spaces and physical elements to represent spatial arrangements of stratified legal interests. In this article, the performance of these three distinct BIM-based representations of legal interests defined inside multistorey buildings is assessed in the context of the Victorian jurisdiction of Australia. The assessment metrics are a number of objects and geometry batches, visualization speed in terms of frame rate, query time, modelling legal boundaries, and visual communication of legal boundaries.

-Currently the structural engineering and construction technologies go through substantial paradigm shift and development between energy conservation, health and living cost issues. Increasing energy consumption for e.g. heating and cooling and the constant effort to energy preservation in all forms promotes the manufacture of sustainable low-energy or near-zero energy houses, often with some independent energy production capability included.As a subtheme in controlling the building performance and energy uses, there has been interest in applying Building Information Model (BIM) to building designs to store, optimize and use buildingrelated information during its entire life-cycle. The BIM methodology is mostly limited for new buildings as the needed open access data on generic structures and materials is most often not available. Similarly, health considerations in current buildings are also poorly controlled and more detailed knowledge on the content and conditions of thermal transport, air exchange and moisture control would benefit the energy efficiency and sustainability of the buildings. Common issues with moisture entrapment leading to microbial growth and indoor air quality related respiratory illnesses are a practical, and extreme, example of insufficient understanding of structural design and control issues also in in public buildings.Our study presents some of the recently discussed possibilities and efficiency of BIM utilization in the context of current and future residential buildings. In addition, hygro-thermal monitoring and modelling tools that have recently been made available to analyze the structural health of the buildings will be highlighted.

“…During the visualisation process, the interactive 3D model becomes a common reference frame supporting a shared understanding across the collaborators team, thus creating a single source of data (Johansson, Roupé, & Bosch-Sijtsema, 2015). This paper explains the BIM software that is used for collecting, processing data, parametric modelling, and evaluating the historical model across the process to finalise a cultural heritage project (Fig.…”

Abstract:The Building Information Modelling (BIM) software enables the users to communicate and design, understand appearance, performance and cost in the spatial and urban design process. Another important use of the BIM technology is the documentation and 3D reconstruction of cultural heritage monuments. The appropriate BIM software equips the users with tools to easily capture and analyse concepts and maintain the coordination of design data through documentation and 3D modelling. Many developments come up in the BIM field and software industry for design, construction-reconstruction, restoration and management of the cultural heritage 3D models, using BIM tools; mainly commercial as well as free or open source. Nevertheless, recently the growing popularity of open source has altered the landscape in software industry, as they attract many users. This paper presents a review of some recent research on the topic. We review the recent developments focusing on the Open Source Software (OSS) that can be used at various stages of BIM process in the digital documentation of cultural heritage. The results show that there is more preference in the commercial software due to the fact that the OSS is not yet complete and covers all stages of the BIM process. However, lately we have the Edificius software in architectural BIM design and BIM Vision as Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) model viewer that try to attract as many users as possible. These tools are free and they could well be used for the digital reconstruction of cultural heritage.
