planet, used by the human
species, are certainly based on
the convention of naming objects
in nature, phenomena and
characteristics that surround us.
Every word that is in use today, in
any language in the world, has its
roots in the distant past, where
the then members of the human
species have agreed, or in the
spirit of this article, have made a
convention to name the objects
that surround them.
From the agreed names for
particular objects, phenomena
and characteristics for natural
phenomena, we have come to
standardized languages, which
have a set of default rules, which
can be called a standard. Do you
notice any similarities in the
process, from agreement and
convention to the standardization
of the language creation process
described above with the BIM
modelling convention and the
BIM element naming convention?
I think you can see for yourself
the answer to the question of
whether the BIM modelling
convention can become part of
the BIM standard. After all, let's
remember the CAD naming
convention of a layer in AutoCAD,
at the level of each company,
when the CAD standard began to
apply, and compare it with
today's AIA CAD standard for the
layer naming.
I think it is quite clear that one
day, instead of the BIM modelling
convention, we will talk about the
BIM modelling standard and that
this article will be ridiculed, but to
be honest, I cannot wait for that
to happen, since the standardization
of BIM modelling will bring us
great benefits and savings in the
BIM project process in the future.
At the very end of the article, I
would like to give a recapitulation
of the topic and give personal
conclusions based on years of
practice in implementing BIM
technologies.
The BIM modelling convention is
more often an integral and
default part of the BIM Execution
Plan and helps all participants in
a multidisciplinary BIM environment
to standardize both the BIM
modelling process and the
naming of BIM elements in BIM
discipline models.
The predefined naming convention
for BIM elements is not an
administrative or bureaucratic
requirement on the part of the
BIM Project Manager but aims at
establishing data generation
automation in BIM discipline
models, which brings significant
savings to all participants in the
BIM project process. Also, the BIM
modelling convention also significantly
helps to automate the
exchange of data between
different BIM model disciplines in
a multidisciplinary BIM project
environment.
Finally, the BIM modelling
convention largely optimizes the
establishment of data generation
automation, which is later used to
visualize data obtained from BIM
models.
It can be said that the BIM modelling
convention, mostly its part on
the BIM elements naming, is the
basis for the successful implementation
of the BIM design
process automation in a multidisciplinary
BIM environment and
the automation of data generation
to visualize data obtained
from the BIM disciplines or
multidisciplinary BIM model.
I would like to conclude with the
article on the topic „The BIM
Modelling Convention“ and my
view of how this document can
help us to establish the automation
of the BIM project process at
all stages of the BIM project
process, then to optimize multidisciplinary
coordination, and
ultimately to advance the implementation
of the entire BIM
project process.
Until the next article,
