Being BIM models themselves, making a change to the BIM object will automatically get reflected in the main model at any project stage. We can also say they are also BIM models, not of the building but of products. Only then it is a digital representation of, not only how the product looks, but also how it works.īIM objects are an essential part of the project BIM model.
Such data becomes graphical data, including but not limited to, dimension, materials, colours and manufacturer’s information.Ī BIM object can only prove its usefulness by having accurate and relevant information embedded in it. Think information from product data sheets. But what information and why?Īlong with geometrical information like dimensions, BIM objects are constructed with technical details that can show the functionality of the product in the real world. BIM objects are rich in information as they’re a part of the project BIM model.
