Collaborating and sharing data in the AEC Industry
For example if you want to analysis your model, you should export gbXML from perfect arch. model for MEP.Somebody may be understand vision from mean of "perfect model" but with viewpoint MEP designer and analysers it means that model should be ensure excelent database for MEP standart. Like creating Space . MEP engineer needs U-value for LOAD calculation and needs that every Structure Component on model should be defined by designer. Because of that MEP groups need a BIM MANAGER that ensure coodination between diciplines. I will ezplain how to prepare MEP analysis model for calculation data.
