OMNICLASS vs. UNICLASS / UNICLASS2 – BIM Ontology

Building Information Management

Like Uniclass Table J (aka CAWS), the OmniClass Work Results Table (aka MasterFormat) is geared mostly to the specification of systems and products, and so is focused on the construction phase. Indeed, Systems and Products are conflated. this product is part of that system, this system comprises those products).

Revit OpEd: Room Separation Lines - Agida for MEP?

Revit OpEd

These divisions, while relevant to the architectural model, are ruining the possibilities of creating gbXML files without extensive work on the part of the engineer to remove the room separation lines, and then repair the damage done to the room names and numbers. However the Room Separations still existed. We just couldn’t see them.

Revit OpEd: View Discipline

Revit OpEd

It was meant to make it simple to alter the appearance of our model to be more in sync with what a structural engineer wants to see. When MEP (Systems as it was called then) appeared a year later they extended the concept to Mechanical and Electrical (plumbing lumped in with Mechanical till release 2013). Builds and Updates.

Revit OpEd: How Many Worksets Do I Need?

Revit OpEd

The whole model is still there, just not visible, thatll provide some relief for performance sake. Recently I was working with a team, their building is a million square feet overall, and opening the whole file took considerably longer than selectively focusing on a single sectors workset. Building Shell or Envelope. Wing South.

A Primer on MasterFormat & Improving Construction Project Collaboration

Building Information Management

Masterformat is a multiple level data structure consisting of numbers and titles/descriptions used to organize information by “work results” or construction practices. The MasterFormat numbering system and titles provide a common, transparent manner to readily communicate construction item, tasks, and associated information.
