Your Gateway To Mastering
Building Information Modeling Through Archicad
What is Building Information Model (BIM)?
BIM is Bundle of information (DATA) from schematic stage to maintenance.
Why Building Information Model (BIM)?
BIM will be the official language of Building Industry for sure!
How BIM is Understood?
BIM is Understood by
Level of Detailing (LOD).
