[Anonymous]

Wisconsin becomes the first American State to request BIM based projects for state owned facilities.

I'm moving!

(ArchiCad lists as one of the recognized BIM software)

I have not read the Bill and don't intend to but I understand that a BIM is required for Commercial projects over $2.5 Mil. I have confidence in IFC and this is a great opportunity to implement it. After all, wasn't 2x2 developed to facilitate Singapore's code check?

Hey Steve, you must have been devastated with the results last November huh? Can you see Russia from your porch? Next time you talk to Sarah remind her that Africa is a Continent.

Don't even get me started Gary....devastated is such an understatement.

Yes of course I keep an eye on the Commies from here. With the scope on my modified Bushmaster. And I have a picture of Sarah gutting a moose as my screen saver.

Somebody Photoshopped Palin's head into that picture. No one goes out in that weather with no hat and every hair in place. Nice idea but like Palin herself....a misrepresentation.

Finaly, a member of the USA sees the light, and crawls out of the cave...

Millions of buildings have been constructed without a BIM. The necessary, useful, and required information to construct the building all came form 2d plans, most of which did not even have the BI extracted from a digital file. All the information needed has been taken from the plans and specs.

And that means that there is no need to find ways to improve

BIM technology and methods has been proven to save time, money, and result in better products.

BTW. when you are extracting scedules and lists from your ArchiCAD model, you are actualy using BIM methods! Good ArchiCAD users have been using BIM since before the term BIM was invented! But some of them need to lift their view from their own little turf, and have a look at the next lot...., and the horizon...

And Wisconsin do not need all that software to read the different filetypes. There is a free and open format for BIM files.... It is called IFC Every decent BIM SW can save and read it, and it is not controlled by a SW vendor.

Scuse my english....
