parameter naming ensures
successful implementation of BIM
design process automation and
visualization of data obtained
from that process. So, in the part
of the BIM modelling convention
about the generation and
management of BIM data, the
most commonly defined are:
• BIM elements naming convention;
• The naming convention of
parameters of BIM elements;
• Data management methodology
in a multidisciplinary BIM
environment;
• Filter color coding as preparation
for BIM data visualization;
• BIM data visualization methodology.
Unlike the part of the BIM
modelling convention related to
the BIM modelling process, which
is more concerned with geometric
data, the part of the BIM
modelling convention on the
methodology of generating and
managing BIM data forms the
core of successful or unsuccessful
BIM implementation, because
information - data in the BIM
model make the key difference
between 3D models and BIM
models.
Therefore, we are going also to
consider the issue of interaction,
on the one hand, the BIM design
process automation and data
visualization, and on the other,
the BIM modelling convention.
Is It Possible To
Successfully
Automate The BIM
Project Process And
Visualize Data
Without The
BIM Modelling
Convention?
I have a very simple answer to
this question and it says NO. Why
is it not possible to automate the
BIM project process and visualize
data without a modleling
convention? I think I am going to
answer this question in one very
simple example.
About half a year ago, I attended
a very interesting webinar on
data, where one of the
presenters was a programmer
from a company that wrote a
package for the visual
programming language Dynamo.
Because part of the presentation
also included a live
demonstration of the Dynamo
package tool, at one point the
presenter wanted to filter and
isolate all the trees in his BIM
model to further process the data
and then visualize that data.
He chose the „tree“ parameter as
the criterion for filtering elements
in his BIM model and hit the
"Run" button in his script. We all
naturally expected that after the
"Run" button in the Dynamo
script was pressed, only the trees
would be visible. However, this
did not happen, the screen
remained completely blank, so
