University Campus: Problem Spatial DB of Space Inventory

Input: CAD Floor Plans CAFM GIS Layers with BLDG footprints Elevation profiles

Unique Campus Space ID & 3D representation of rooms

0318_04_0020A

Spatial database is a collection of rooms(spaces), which are registered in physical space and have unique “global” campus ID. Connection to the enterprise DB

Step 1: CAD to GIS - Inner Space Modeling

ETL: CAD to Arch Space

Step 2: Getting Shift, Scale and Rotation for Buildings

Step 3: GIS “Arch” to GIS “Real World”

Every SPACE has PRIMARY KEY BLGD_FLOOR_ROOM

Ability to JOIN External datasets

ETL: Arch to GIS Space

University Campus: Space Inventory

Facilities Management Problem:

Each space is accurately represented in an Autodesk AutoCAD drawing

HOK Challenge

HOK needed to update their workflows for large complex city modeling project

Data interoperability issues between the different applications and different teams

Looking for automation in BIM applications, and the AEC industry in general

HOK Challenge

For example:

Land-use planning was accomplished using Autodesk Revit

Massing of buildings was carried out using

Esri CityEngine.

Display of model effectively to stakeholders using was Autodesk Infraworks,

Revit Landuse Plan CityEngine Massing Infraworks Presentation Model

City Engine Smart CODE

• Road Creation • Block Subdivision • CGA Code (Generates Building Forms)

Transects Social Infrastructure

Road Center Lines (3,4,5)

Generated Buildings

GeoTIFFs Shape Files

Terrain IMX

Road Centerlines

Automation Goals Example: Revit to ... Self serve exporter

BIM to GIS at Mount Vernon

VIRGINIA, USA

Patrick Gahagan, Esri Quinn Evans Architects

Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association

Mount Vernon • George Washington’s home, constructed between 1758 and 1778

• Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association tasked with restoration, interpretation, and preservation of grounds and structures

• Mansion laser scanned to create architectural-quality HBIM in Revit by Quinn Evans Architects

BIM to GIS via FME

• Revit: Add coordinates and

rotation from project north to

true north

• Export to Revit Archive(.rvz)

with FME Revit Exporter,

attributes to spreadsheet

• Import to ArcGIS with Data

Interoperability Extension

(FME)

• Reconnect attribution

A Blended World

Viewshed Analysis

• asdf

Stakeholder Access to Information

• Browser delivery provides

data to everyone, even fire

suppressant system

designer

• Historical data identifies

plaster from 1950 vs. 1787

• Framing details assist with

optimal routing

Nuclear BIM Forsmark Integrates CAD, GIS, BIM, and Non-Spatial

The Forsmark nuclear power plant provides approximately one-sixth of Sweden’s total electrical energy consumption!

Thank-you: Anton Sandström Mårten Martinsson

Nuclear BIM

A way to provide an integrated view of their data

Indoor and outdoor coverage

Freshest possible data and with access to their extensive historical data

CAD drawings, complex BIM models, and a variety of other documents.
