People simulation assists in decision making for planners, designers/architects and owners, by modelling the built environment through calibrating multiple objectives and functional alternatives. In this white paper, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is considered in the context of trip simulation. This enhances designs by allowing for rapid comparison and evaluation of [...]

With many projects requiring adherence to Building Information Modelling (BIM) standards, and the improvements this brings to collaborative workflows, the use of BIM for road and infrastructure design is a logical evolution. The BIM collaborative process is expected to become the default method of project delivery for infrastructure projects, as [...]

1. Revit’s In-Built Calculator For values of numerical parameters, you can calculate basic arithmetic by starting with an ‘=’ symbol. You can even use parentheses ( ) to order the way the value is calculated. e.g. = (100 + 50) / 2. In this example the ‘(100 + 50)’ is [...]

Revit: Use the TAB key to cycle through objects that are close together AutoCAD: If your dialog boxes don’t show up, type FILEDIA at the command line and set the value to 1 Inventor: Use the Shift + right mouse button to access the list of selection filters Navisworks: Use [...]
