BIM Connect

BIM Connect imports the geometry of a building from the BIM model directly into Vabi Elements. This conversion has been automated with the BIM Connect Wizard almost entirely. The translation to the closed geometric model provides you the certainty of a reliable calculation, and therefore reliable data in the BIM model. You are not limited to the input into the BIM model, since Vabi Elements can be used simultaneously to the BIM model. In this way you are able to proceed with the design concept, and to think ahead. The implications to the building performance of a modification in the drawing are made transparent by means of clear visualizations. BIM connect forms your accountability document within the construction team, which also allows your drawing time to be reduced significantly, up to 70%.

When choosing BIM, a 3D model of the building is always visible. Manually copying data in the calculation model costs time and increases the chance of input errors. A geometric drawing is subjected to modifications during the design phase, and each of these modifications requires you to validate the installation concepts again. This task is time consuming since the main part of your time is spent by drawing the geometry again and again.

BIM Connect allows you to import the 3D model from IFC. The complete 3D geometry is imported in this process, irrespective of its complexity. Room numbers, room names, rooms, and doors will be at their right positions immediately. The BIM Connect Wizard solves 90% of the most frequent conflicts for you in this way. Those conflicts which cannot be solved without consulting you will be presented to you by means of clear choices or warnings. The turnaround time of a project is reduced significantly, up to 70% of your drawing time. In this way you can spend more of your craftsmanship in optimizing the building performance.
