What does a popular movie teach us about BIM?

That a kid with a computer, the Internet and a cell phone . . .

. . . can help his dad . . .

. . . find his way around the National Mall . . .

. . . with 2D plans that become 3D in seconds . . .

. . . using a Geographic Information System linked to data . . .

. . . an almost infinite amount of data linked to visuals . . .

. . . data that is even linked to “underground” visuals . . .

. . . and is very representative of the real world.

Old forms of building representation are almost obsolete.

Key Plans for Fire Alarm Systems

Using the powerful web-based tools of today . . .

. . . allow you to go from 2D to 3D . . .

. . . very easily using tools based on Open Standards. . .

. . . so there is a happy ending.

You know . . . the usual Hollywood fantasy. But wait . . .

The Open Standards exist . . . the tools are in place . . .

We already manage vast amounts of information. . .

. . . to provide visually clear understanding of complex data.

So that all stakeholders have transparent access to . . .

. . . data and information that helps on many levels . . .

Sample data

. . . including the level of a traditional 2D floor plan.

It is a proven path to problem solving - Solving many problemsIt is not a Hollywood fantasy.

Many stakeholders have access to data with Open Standards
