Our BIM Patent No.2
In collaboration with our colleagues from the New Zealand, we have developed a new BIM patent – Reinforcement in 3D from 2D structural data.
We intersect our 3D BIM isolated load-bearing construction with 2D reinforcement data from structural engineering shop drawings.
This unique approach allows us to real-time travel through 3D virtual building model, and then by clicking on some concrete element (any beam, column, slab) to open reinforcement of that selected construction part, showing at the same time concrete and reinforcement.
This is particularly useful for contractors or supervision, because with this method, the speed of reinforcement control is few times faster.
Using IPad, other tablet device or laptop, we can see load-bearing element reinforcement needed, in a second.
