POSSIBILITIES OF BIM DATA EXCHANGE
Abstract
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. The main vision of BIM is to create true, reliable information of the buildings that are complementary and easily replaceable and made them available to different participants of the construction process. The basic condition for fulfilling this vision is the interoperability and parametric behavior of the objects of BIM, i.e., any change of one parameter generates a set of changes in all the parameters, and objects affected. Unification of data formats, eventually proposal of one elementary exchange format in the field of AEC has always been a great challenge. The paper brings an overview of some of the exchange formats used for BIM models. Since, today the most common, and the most supported exchange format for BIM models is IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), the main topic of the paper is a detailed description of the IFC data format, brief description of the schema versions of IFC, examination of the advantages and disadvantages of this data format and working with BIM model in IFC from the point of view of a surveyor.
