Professional
quality BIM exchange
One
requirement for professional data exchange in the building
industry is that the exchanged data can be trusted. The same applies
whether you are exchanging drawings, schedules or
BIM. Modeling applications have highly
sophisticated editors for creating drawings, giving
precise control over the content and layout of the drawings
that are derived from a BIM. Nobody tries to offer a single 'Export
to Drawings' dialog or button, like they do with 'Export to
IFC'. And although IFC export dialogs are slowly getting
better, they are nowhere near the sophistication of drawing
editors.
simplebim® is a BIM editor that gives you the
simple, yet sophisticated tools you need for putting a BIM
into shape for professional quality data exchange. |

Exchange
only relevant data
Unnecessary data causes unnecessary problems. With simplebim
you trim the model by throwing out all objects and properties
that are not needed or that are not reliable. This makes the
model not only lighter (up to 90% smaller), but also more
reliable. And you always know exactly what is in the models
you exchange, because simplebim gives you a preview of the
objects and properties that will be exported.
simplebim® lets you decide which objects and
properties are relevant. For many use cases it can even tell you what data is relevant for that use
case. |
Follow the
right BIM grammar
In BIM data exchange you must use grammar that is understood
by the receiving application. This is similar to drawings
where the different drawing types (floor plan, section,
elevation...) each have their own rules that make the
drawings understandable. In the case of BIM the grammar is
different for each use case, like quantity take-off, clash
detection or energy analysis. The minimum requirement is
that the right set of properties for each object type is
included.
simplebim® has the tools for ensuring that
the grammar for each BIM exchange
is
followed. |

Perfect
your BIM spelling
The information that is exchanged with others in the form of
drawings, schedules or BIM can all be derived from the same original BIM. Together
these different uses accumulate a complex set of
requirements the original BIM should meet, and often it is
not practical or even possible to satisfy all requirements
at the same time.
simplebim® makes it possible to relax these requirements.
Property values in a exchange BIM can be edited, both
automatically and manually. This ensures that the exchange
BIM always contains property values that are agreed in the
project and thus make sense to others, while the original BIM can
have values that are make the most sense to the designer.
For example a space name may have to be shortened in the
original BIM because it would otherwise not fit in the space
label on a floor plan, but the same space should have the
full name in the exchange BIMs. Luckily only the relevant
data needs to have the correct spelling, which makes the
work much easier. |
Export
better IFC files
Once you are done with editing, you can save the edited
model from simplebim® to new IFC file. This way you only exchange data that
is relevant and can be trusted by both yourself and anybody
using the exported model. The size of the new IFC file is in
most cases only fraction of the original file and it imports
much faster and cleaner into the receiving application.
