Slide 2: Answers
Answers: 1) All of them…it depends on which model is needed at which stage of the building process. 2) Probably the fully detailed model on the right, as it contains everything required to manufacture and maintain the product. 3) Most likely, it is the yellow model. At that phase of the building lif

The post-construction use of BIM is very long, which is likely a key reason why governments are mandating BIM for their new facilities. 6
Slide 7: BIM becoming a requirement worldwide
Over time, BIM is becoming a requirement for building projects around the world. BIM is mandated for government projects in Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea. The US GSA and the Army Corp of Engineers have mandated BIM for their building projects. F

Slide 9: Options for providing Revit content
The top two options require Revit expertise and are more difficult to change if the product is updated. They are useful when you want to provide your product for use in the design phase…e.g. if architects have not already developed Revit content for your type of product. The third option has been su

Slide 21: Keeping content size manageable
Your product content will replace low detail content in a Revit project that may already be very large. Consider content from the Revit customer point of view…they don’t want their existing Revit projects to slow down when inserting manufacturer’s content. If your content is too large, it may impact
