Architectural CAD Drafting, BIM Modeling. Making BIM Work: Quality Models. September 30, 2016. BIM processes only work if there is something those processes can act upon. No BIM models, no process. And quality matters: without good quality models no matter how good BIM processes or standards are it will be extremely difficult for anyone to do anything useful. Pretty basic stuff, but all too often ignored. Why is there a Problem with Models? All this is because drawings have traditionally been their tangi...

HOK BIM Solutions: January 2015
http://www.hokbimsolutions.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 January 2015. Troubleshooting Underlays in Revit. If you're experiencing problems displaying elements using the Underlay property of a Revit view, the feature just might be behaving as designed. We recently had a team working on a high-rise project and they wanted to use the Level 8 plan as an underlay for the Level 5 design. In other words, using a level above as a reference for a lower level. While this seems to make sense for an upper level that uses a lower level as an underlay, it behave...

HOK BIM Solutions: Sync with Central Best Practices
http://www.hokbimsolutions.com/2014/04/sync-with-central-best-practices.html
Friday, 11 April 2014. Sync with Central Best Practices. Here’s a list of best practices David Ivey shared for synchronizing with central (SWC) in Revit:. Never leave for extended periods of time (i.e. Lunch, Meeting, Home) after hitting the Sync button. Revit will often ask for something before the process is complete, and if this happens while you’re out, your team can be stuck with a central file that is ‘in use’, and be kept from saving/working. Always use the Worksharing Monitor. SWC when prompted w...

http://www.hokbimsolutions.com/p/bim-collaboration.html
This content is published to provide advance information to parties collaborating with HOK. It addresses some common scenarios that affect the productivity of collaboration using building information modeling. HOK’s approach to BIM has been evolving since 2004. This approach considers the modeled information to be the primary source of truth; therefore, it is expected that content contributed by consultants follow this same logic:. But is more modular to address a wide variety of project sizes and types.

Wednesday, 24 September 2014. Dialog Box, Dialog Box: Where art thou Dialog Box? In the world of having 2 monitors, sometimes Windows likes to think we have more than 2 monitors connected. When that occurs dialog boxes can open and not be visible on the either of the current monitors. For Example, you open Revit, click to open a file and the open dialog box "Pops Up". Only, Revit seems to hang and you never get the dialog box to display. 1 With Revit as your active program. A ALT Space Key. BDP join forc...

HOK BIM Solutions: Problem with Standardized Shared Parameters
http://www.hokbimsolutions.com/2015/01/problem-with-standardized-shared.html
Tuesday, 13 January 2015. Problem with Standardized Shared Parameters. It seems like a wonderful idea to develop an industry standard shared parameters file for Revit - but it all depends on how you develop the parameters and implement them. Should you set the standard without any special naming convention or identify parameters developed specifically for such a standard? Antony McPhee provides some constructive commentary on the standardized shared parameters. Thanks to Cesar E. for the contribution).

Tuesday, 29 April 2014. Starting a BIM Project. BIM is a process that is now an essential part of the construction industry. BIM is not a software it is a process. Revit is quickly becoming the number 1 BIM authoring software and is quickly replacing AutoCAD as the main construction industry drawing tool. We will look at a project that includes Road, Rail, new buildings, existing building and all the disciplines involved with such a project. At the start of any job a BIM meeting should be setup with the ...
