To all comments readers. This is not BIM...!!! You cannot export any of this information to IFC or a cleaned out Revit model when submitting to the main contractor. Additionally, if you are using Navisworks etc, for 3D Coordination none of this 2D information is visible...!!!
Hi @jaykenny4205, thanks for your feedback! Right you are, this is not strictly BIM, this is 2D detailing, one of the many skills and documents that it takes to communicate construction. If your elements are required for clash detection or IFC, by all means, go ahead and model what you need in 3D. Possibly unfortunately, 2D is still very much a part of communication and practicality for documentation delivery
@@bimco-bimbi Your channel is called BIMco....!!! Ok... Hear me out... Maybe you should recreate the same video using nothing but Modelled Content which has usable Cobie data..? Basically, an AsBuilt Model which shows everything.
Hi @@jaykenny4205, you seem like a BIM purist and it is great to see you're embracing the 3D and data aspect of construction. bimco is the name of our company : ) so sorry if that's mislead you in any way. This video is about a fairly common practice of 2D detailing. Sure it would be great to have the time to model everything, however, one of the main points in this is that modelling is time consuming, usually not commercially viable and often impractical. 3D for design intent, 2D for details is a commonly accepted industry convention. There is often little value in most projects for modelling everything including battens, fixings, flashings. You can create an expectation that everything in the model needs to be modelled and resolved (dangerous territory IMO). Having said that, sure, a 3D version of this would be quite valuable for communicating how something comes together so point taken. Curious to know how to approach a COBie driven detail and the how that can add value to the project. Happy to take that on and explore this in another video.
@@bimco-bimbi The quicker you grow your company's Source File of Detailed Revit Families, the less time consuming your detailing will be. This includes Flashings, Battens, Fixings, DPM's / DPC's, Waterproof Membranes, Insulation, Etc. I'm looking forward to seeing this future video.
