Problem:
AEC needs to leverage automation,
technology, and connection to
lower the cost and improve the
experience of Building Information
Modeling
Hackathon Goals:
Idea Sex*:
When two or
more ideas
combine in
one place
* Google “James Altucher”
Hackathon Goals:
Idea #1:
ClashMEP = Unprecedented Metadata
• Revit Add-in
• Real-time Clash Detection
• Models, Linked Files, IFC’s, Point
Clouds
• Available Now
Hackathon Goals:
Idea #2:Clashes are Bugs
Software has bugs. BIM has bugs.
Hackathon Goals:
Idea #3Software has bug trackers!
Cheap, robust, proven.
Hackathon Goals:

Bug Tracking
Hackathon Goals:
Idea Sex!
ClashMEP allows new capabilities
because of metadata.
We can use existing bug trackers to
manage clashes with minimum inputs
What We Did
1. Added Metadata
Export from ClashMEP
2. Planned for Bug
Tracking in 3rd Party
Packages
3. Created example
What We Did
1. Added Metadata Export from ClashMEP

1. Added Metadata Export from ClashMEP
• What systems?
• When?
• Who modeled it?
• What models were open?
• What view were they in?
• And MORE!
Predictable!
AMAZING!
What We Did
2. Planned for 3rd Party Bug Trackers
Implementation of Agile Methods
Project Metrics – Open, Closed
Team Metrics – Velocity, Sprints, Stand Ups
Assign Responsibilities
Schedule
Pretty Graphs
Reminder Emails
Issue Escalation

What Innovation Here?
• In-Authoring Tool Clash Detection
• Concept: Clashes as Bugs
• Innovative use of BIM Metadata
• Automate Tracking: Auto-Open, Auto-Close
of Clashes
• Agile Implementation
Result of the Weekend
• Started: “Need Cloud Clash Management”
• Ended: Write an API so anybody can use
the data created by ClashMEP
• Commercial Product for Clash Tracking in January 2017
• Interested in Working with Project Teams Immediately
