Considerations While Doing Revit Modeling

Compliance with BIM (Building Information Modeling) standards while modeling Revit ensures that the model is created and managed accurately and effectively. BIM standards ensure consistency and efficiency among all stakeholders throughout a project. In order to model in accordance with BIM standards, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:

Making necessary preparations before starting modelling: There are predetermined standards and guidelines for BIM projects. Starting to model by following these can prevent bigger problems from occurring in the future.
Paying attention to adequate level of detail: In BIM projects, the level of detail is an important factor affecting the quality and accuracy of the model made. Insufficient detail may cause the model to be incompatible with the real world. For example, the partitions should be modeled according to the concrete pouring plan. A model element that has no connection with reality causes the process to be disrupted.
Processing sufficient data to the elements: During modeling, all parameters of the element must be entered in accordance with the project. WBS, Pos No, Mark ID etc. The presence of many parameters in the elements plays a great role in facilitating BIM processes.
Data standard compliance: Data standard compliance is important in BIM projects. Different components and data types conforming to different standards can break the consistency of the data in the model. Types should be properly adjusted and used for their intended purpose.
Correct selection of building materials: In BIM projects, material properties are an important factor affecting the accuracy of modeling and the accuracy of analysis. Incorrect selection of building materials may cause misleading data in the model. It is necessary to model the element in the project in accordance with its characteristics.
Mistakes in managing changes made: BIM projects can make mistakes in the process because team members need to monitor and manage changes. For example, improper documentation of a change or deletion of a component can affect the accuracy of the model. In a revision to an element, deleting and remodeling that element may cause all historical data of the deleted element to be deleted.
Finding the building blocks in their coordinates: The drawn block – station etc. After linking the masses to the main model, it is necessary to assign their coordinates to the models according to the site plan. Otherwise, ifc exports from the program will have the wrong coordinates.
