Designing a Cultural Heritage Object in a BIM Environment

Abstract

Creating BIM models of individual structures and buildings as a whole makes it possible to better feel the geometric features of the designed object and understand its relationship with associated elements. Before starting the design, an analysis of the design object, the intended design solutions and the capabilities of various software systems was carried out. After studying the experience of domestic and foreign colleagues on the example of the reconstruction object, it was decided that it was necessary to use the Autodesk Revit software package. In the mode of one model, work was carried out on architectural and structural sections, as well as engineering networks. The need for a consistent approach in designing in a BIM environment is demonstrated. The stages of design are presented, the main functionality of the software package related to restoration work is demonstrated, and the characteristic problems arising during the design are identified and analyzed. Work experience shows the expediency of using the BIM environment during restoration work, which makes it possible to ensure the collaboration of participants in the design process. Detailed study at all stages of the design makes it possible to minimize labor costs, as well as eliminate errors associated with the complexity of the interconnection of sections, which is especially typical for a historical building.
