Another thought provoking p...Happy New Year Antony,<br />Another thought provoking post. I remember back at college in the 1980's I was taught CAD/CAM as a process being Computer Aided Design/Manufacturing. It was not until I started doing CAD in the real world that it was referred to as Computer Aided Drafting. Design was still a paper based process transferred to the computer in drawing form.<br />As you point out BIM has these similar murky waters. People doing any type of 3D+ Building Modelling often consider it BIM. I think this is because there is no clear definition of how much Information the "I" in BIM represents.<br />This Level of Design really needs to be addressed by Clients and/or Principal Designers at contract level so they get what they are expecting.<br />I am of course one of those "BIM Evangelists" you mentioned who believes the greater the BIM process the greater streamlining of Construction however I am also a realist in understanding that the BIM process will be Trimmed and Pigeonholed to suit the individual. bimdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597234803694939164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634085675780254011.post-69186147423685602852013-01-04T14:05:00.986+11:002013-01-04T14:05:00.986+11:00I completely agree, and from when I first heard of...I completely agree, and from when I first heard of VDC I realised that is what most people who think they are doing BIM are actually doing...One thing is wrong thou, we need a better abbreviation, VDC sounds terrible, therefore I doubt it will catch on!Alex Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268015433371053587noreply@blogger.com
