If you’re still using 2D CAD such as AutoCAD or Vectorworks and you’re curious about BIM you should attend this seminar where we’ll introduce you to:
- An overview of BIM (Building Information Modeling)
- Advantages and benefits of an integrated 2D/3D workflow
- How to create a smooth transition from traditional CAD to BIM
While 2D CAD systems are very powerful for drafting they fall short when coordinating project changes. This is why businesses are shifting to BIM to increase productivity and streamline a project’s workflow to:
- Avoid mistakes due to different modifications
- Improve the coordination between the different disciplines
- Better analyze the building’s properties
- and much more…
