BIM - Building Information Modeling. You don't have to extract the information. But it has to be integral part of the model. If you CAN extract it then it is BIM.

OK, now I am back from celebrations and a long vacation..

Here is what team BIM Vikings supplied during those 48 hrs.:

IFC Models (mostly from Archicad, dds and tekla) 32

Drawings (dwg) 11

Google Earth (kmz) 1

Video 18

Images 82

Reports and Documents (mostly from other software, but also some schedules from ArchiCAD) 55

Energy Analysis 2

4D - Constructability Analysis 1

5D - Cost Calculations 7

With the exchange possibilities IFC gives us, it is better to leave sceduling, cost analysis etc. to specialized software for that purpose.

In this project, we used 20 different softwares that exchanged IFC-BIM...

Any chance you guys could come over to Nottingham in September and show your stuff?

That would be a very good reason for me to go over there this year

I could do a presentation of our effort, if someone want to listen, and look...

This is great. Have you been in touch with David yet? I just sent him an email so maybe he'll be in touch in the morning. I am excited to see not only what you did in the competition but also to learn more about IFC and interoperability. I have been doing a lot of work in this area lately.

No, have not heard from DNC. I see the scedule is fillled up, might be difficult to fit in? Could leave it to winterscool....

Od,
Would you be prepared to talk about htis at the ArchiCAD Summer School?
I have already had a booking from Mats Knutsson, but he didnt mention about the London BIMStorm (which occurred after the booking, I guess).
It sounds like a good experience, which many people could learn from.
