IADT actually saves all the BIM information directly into DWG - it is Autocad that do not support those type of objects, informations (walls, etc.) and can't read them. .

Because maybe AC id not "full" BIM? You can't connect the top of the wall with other element, etc. I know we are dividing a hair over here, but lets face it. ADT (we want it or not) is in a many ways BIM.Miki wrote:ADT has BIM information?

1) We'll start with a client needing a room and establishing some general requirements. In 2D electronic drafting with NCS, we would show a floor plan, walls as polylines on a CAD Layer, a door symbol, a room stamp, and notations. When it is time to place our drawings on paper for plotting, we would use the NCS to organize the construction sets. Other information would be handled separately and not integrated into our CAD file.Please let me know if this helps. I look forward to read from you.
2) With IAI IFC-compliant software, the model can support not only NCS standards but also integrated data that support design decisions. We can start with an IFC-SPACE that not only carries a plan view but also carries its geometric size, square footage, and volume. We can create and do reports on stacking diagrams and the like.
3) As the design progresses, we can use an IFC-WALL for quantity take-offs, thermal or energy calculations, and other analysis. This is the same wall used in our construction document views and our rendering. Even at this level, we can more fully determine whether our design meets our client's needs.
4) Product objects such as an IFC-DOOR or WINDOW allow a higher refinement to our design. Calculations and costing, which used to happen only after construction sets were more complete, can be done in the first days of a project.
5) Walls or objects can automate the creation of details, schedules, and levels of structure and provide product-specific installation needs. 4D construction scheduling can be tied to objects for construction sequencing.
6) Our design complete, the model information, including traditional CAD views and product data, is ready to automatically populate IAI IFC-compliant facility management software. Clients that manage buildings want these models, and architects have a value-added product once the design is complete.
7) The benefits of object intelligence enhance NCS in other ways. What were simple graphic elements have been given intelligence to help automate the task they represent.

The main point I am always confused about it is the fact that many people talk about BIM but do not understanding 100% what BIM is. I am not saying that you don't know what BIM is all I am saying is that I probably have another understanding of BIM.
