BIM HOW TO

Flattening Dynamic Views

In an architectural office, one of the problems with adopting Dynamic Views has been that they are dynamic. There is a level of confidence required that a model is not going to change during an issue...

Bentley Architecture Dataset Overview

Datasets add the ‘I' to ‘BIM', i.e. the Information to Building Information Modeling. They power the Bentley Architecture engine and without datasets, the application is not able to create a building information model and to generate drawings, rendered images and animations, reports, schedules, analysis data and other output. All such outputs depend on different inputs from the datasets. Therefore, it is vital to understand the different dataset components and their interactions, relationships, and dependencies, and how they affect the BIM as well as outputs from the BIM.
