Example 5
In this example, I am going to try
to show you how quickly you can
generate information about the
distance of two groups of BIM
elements.
You can understand this example
as a functional check of the BIM
model of architecture and other
disciplines, in this particular case,
a useful check between an
architecture project and an
electrical installation project.
In this example, the idea is to
check if it is possible to plug a
laptop into a socket from any
chair in a particular room. Let's
say that we have the classroom
and that the project requirement
is that every student, during
class, can plug their laptop into a
socket. The length of the cable
that charges the laptop is three
meters.
I have no idea how long it would
take if the process were done
manually. Depending on the size
of the room, a functional check
would probably take more than
an hour.
Again, the problem of data
accuracy arises if a BIM modeler
measures the distance of each
chair to each socket. Fortunately,
for such a thing, you can find help
in applying a Dynamo script that
will, instead of a modeler,
measure the distance of each
chair from each socket and paint
all the chairs more than three
meters away from all the sockets
in red, which means that it is not
possible to plug the laptop cable
into no single socket.

Example 6
Another excellent example of
how we can fully automate data
generation, but also processing
them further through different
calculations and visualization of
the data obtained, I can give you
an example of room occupant
load calculations.
Namely, using the Dynamo script,
it is possible to collect data on the
room's area and then calculate
the room occupant load using the
room occupant load factor.
Actually, this avoids any manual
work that was traditionally done
in Excel since the value of the
room occupant load is
automatically changed every time
the room area changes with the
change in the room geometry in
the BIM architecture model.

Data Exchange
Between BIM
Models Of Different
Disciplines
I want to start this part of the
article with a brief introduction
about the relationship between
BIM generated data and their use
by other disciplines, participants
in a multidisciplinary project in
the BIM environment.
I hope that every BIM
architecture model you have
encountered so far in the BIM
project environment contains
data for each room. In the
architectural category "Room",
the architect typically input data
related to the purpose of the
room, and then the BIM software
automatically generates
information about the area and
volume of the room. Indeed, the
purpose of the room also affects
the expected load, which will be
used by the structural engineer in
his analysis.
I hope that you come to the idea
that such data should be used
and somehow downloaded into
the BIM construction model, or
BIM model of mechanical,
