The constant problem is a high probability of mistakes in 2D drawings that could be revealed in the course of construction and lead to financial and time losses. Application of 3D (BIM) technologies reduces the number of mistakes significantly. Why is it even more convenient to use 3D?
- 3D model elements are spacial and contain digital filling needed for their determination.
- BIM model is common for all design and construction participants.
- The model can be coordinated by all participants during the whole design, installation, operation and demolition processes.
- This is a convenient environment for cooperation of designers.
- Opportunity for:
Fast and efficient elimination of collisions;
- Creation of a list of material and structural elements consumed in the common environment.
- Significant simplification of designer supervision performance;
- Visual and virtual presentation of design solutions for investors;
- Instant access to any data on the facility for calculation of reconstruction or major repairs costs;
- Environmental friendliness;
Individual approach for each customer and extensive experience in design enables ENECA GmbH to develop the direction of documentation transfer from 2D drawings to 3D model successfully. Our company employs more than 200 experienced specialists who specialise in design using Revit, Tekla, Civil 3D, Advance Steel and etc.
Necessity of digital model creation based on 2D drawings
Nowadays, 2D drawings form the base of the detailed documentation for construction, but due to the range of demands and problems, the tendency goes to the conversion of 2D drawings to 3D models. The main difference between 2D drawings and a 3D model (BIM model) lies in the fact that 3D model elements are spacial and contain digital filling needed for their determination. Moreover, the key feature of the BIM model is its unity for all design and construction participants which enables the model to be confirmed and coordinated by all the parties involved during the whole design, installation, operation and final demolition processes.
The most common issue during the design process lies in the fact that there is a high possibility of mistakes even working with 2D drawings which in the most cases will be revealed in the course of construction and will lead to cost-intensive consequences. Application of 3D technologies in design significantly reduces the number of critical mistakes both from the designers’ and builders’ sides. The obtained BIM product can be used during the whole life cycle of the building and facility.
