Hi, I'm tryng ( ) to make SketchUp a bit BIM-software....look at TECLA, and see if it can help you.....bye...

Hi All,

My friends and I have created a building modeling plug-in for SketchUp. We have utilized our knowledge of popular BIM products (like REVIT) and tried to follow similar methodology and process-flows. This plug-in provides simple tools to create grids, floors, and all common structural engineering and architectural primitives like walls, columns, beams, slabs and openings.

and yes, it works on both Mac and Windows check it out here: viewtopic.php?f=323&t=41840

best!

IFC ALERT: The UK is now.hosting an official gov. database for BIM components. If anyone wants to see SU as a serious player in the BIM market, and if it is possible to produce IFC compatible SU components this is our chance

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

If the objective is a basic library of industry standard (parametric) parts then great but if the objects are an attempt to duplication or replace parts of the specification then I fail to see a real benefit to the design process and the BIM data would best be ignored. The main purpose of drawings are to define the size, shape, location and assembly of the building parts. A complex BIM object will never correctly replace a properly written specification which would be a simpler and more reliable source of building information. They will never compete with the simple process of labelling a door [D-01] which can then be looked up in the specification with as much or as little information as necessary to define the product, quality of work, performance requirements and conditions under which the work is to be executed.
