Writing IFC 4x3 in notepad, a step-by-step example.  Guide to understanding “behind the scenes”. IFC 4x3 is official.  It introduces new ways to model infrastructure: roads, railways, and bridges.  It also brings IfcAlignment and resulting new ways of linear placing of geometries. How to implement these novelties in the actual IFC model? 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽-𝗯𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 “𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴” 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗙𝗖 𝟰𝘅𝟯 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 – 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 “𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆” 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗱. Check it here: https://lnkd.in/dTEJVYrv Wersja polska [PL]: https://lnkd.in/dttafcEz I think it’s a good exercise to review the new possibilities and understand the IFC structure. Knowing what is going on “behind the scenes” makes us more conscious and aware. And knowledge about the IFC structure enables us to better control data in our models. Make models cleaner and more usable. It’s an important skill, especially as IFC – as I observe and hope – is gaining more and more importance.

I just calculated 60 Metrics and benchmarks for six projects in 5 minutes, and I'm continuing to do the same for other projects... This was possible because I cleaned up the data upfront. The breakdown per project is: 1. Adding missing spaces in the BIM ... 0-0.5h 2. creating the abstractBIM ... 5 minutes in average 3. Mapping the space names to standardized space names ... 5-15 minutes, depending on the project size 4. Running the code less than a 1 minute. So we can add a new project in 15 - 45 minutes... As you can see, data cleanup is more work than actual data science. But I'm looking forward to the data science part. This is going to be so interesting...

BIM has been ‘the coming revolution’ for more than 10 years. But it's not going to happen... why? 👉 Misaligned Incentives As soon as someone has to do extra work today for the benefit of someone else in the future, things start to fall apart. In the case of BIM → the contractor and designer need to do extra work today for the future benefit of owners. BUT, this "anti-delayed-gratification" pattern appears across lots of construction technology. For example: Site Diaries → everyone on the project "should" be filling them out today, incase they’re needed to benefit someone else in the future. But we all know that doesn't happen because those folks have more direct, important and immediate things to do. So how do we (as an industry) fix the problem? Personally, I think there are 2 ways to approach it: 1) Project leaders need to design programs that close the loop on incentives. For example, QA records are just as tedious (if not more) to complete as site diaries. But they have a much higher completion rate. The reason is that on many projects “no QA records = no payment” so there is no big time delay between the person doing the work and those getting benefit. 2) Technology providers need to start asking themselves one thing “what value can we drive for the person that has to do the work”. Everything else is secondary. If we get those things right, then we just might see a leap in tech adoption on-site.

MASM and HLA: cliff notes version ~ compile assembly code for drivers and high level code (in this context C/C++, for HLA). Yet, the High Level Assembler, supports the use cases of programs what specify numeric representations in octaldecimal or base 8. The hangup here for me is why they used the prefix of "0" to denote an octal number for C. Wouldn't using any of the special characters on the keyboard make reading that program a lot less error prone, humanistically? 0123 is actually 83 when converted to base 10. #ai #ibm #machinelearning #convolutedneuralnetwork #generativeadversarialnetwork #linearregression #chatgpt

Stuttgart 21 confirms yet another setback The Stuttgart 21 project to build an entirely new 'hub' #station in the southern German city has been delayed multiple times since 1995. It’s been 29 years since the city of #Stuttgart, #Germany, announced it would renew its ageing #railstation, but instead of a shiny new terminal, Deutsche Bahn (DB) has introduced another delay to the S21 project. The idea pitched and agreed to in 1995 was intended to give the southwestern city and capital of Baden-Württemberg a new beginning at the start of the 21st century. Construction only began in 2010. Deutsche Bahn has now revealed the new central station won’t open until at least December 2026, but even then it will not be fully complete. DB and the S21 steering committee agreed on the new timetable, which outlined what the organisations will hope is the final chapter in the embarrassing saga. “From the end of 2025, all systems will gradually go into test operation. The future main station will open in December 2026. According to the current status, all essential elements of the project should then be available – with the exception of the Gäubahn connection via the airport,” the plan set out. The new “long-distance” station at Stuttgart Airport will also open in 2026, but another link via the airport to the southern Gäubahn line will not even begin construction before 2026. However, even the 2032 completion date is not guaranteed. DB explained it will depend on federal budgets for 2025/26. “Stuttgart 21 is the most complex commissioning of a new railway hub in Europe in recent decades,” said Berthold Huber, a member of DB’s Infrastructure Board. The original commissioning of the new hub, which would directly connect Stuttgart’s airport with the city centre and Ulm, another of the region’s large towns, set the programme’s budget at €4.1 billion ($4.8 billion). By 2016 that had risen to €6.3bn ($6.8bn), and is now estimated to be at least €11.45bn ($12.36bn). On top of construction costs, which a court recently ruled was to be paid by DB rather than its project partners (which successfully argued its contracts were for a fixed sum), DB is also now responsible for the partners’ court costs. The project delay is reminiscent of the HS2 soap opera in the UK, or Germany’s own long-winded process of developing Berlin’s new BER airport. Along with escalating costs and construction delays, there have been planning difficulties and local protests against the S21 site. Environmental concerns are rightly at the centre of most modern megaprojects, and protestors raised the potential impact on the underground water table in the Stuttgart valley. This led to a new groundwater management system being installed under the expanded station. But such significant problems, and their expensive solutions, meant DB itself regretted undertaking the project. .. https://lnkd.in/eaMr-2U8

The utilization of 3D concrete printing service is expected to increase, owing to rapid urbanization and environmental awareness. Moreover, significant technological advancements in 3D printing technology fuel the market growth. In 2021, Asia-Pacific region was the highest revenue contributor to the global market, whereas LAMEA is expected to offer lucrative opportunities to the key players in the market. Solution to overcome high labor cost, accuracy in complex design products, and cost-efficiency in mass production drive the 3D concrete printing market growth. However, high investment costs and limitation of printer considering the size of the objects to be printed impede the market growth. On the contrary, advanced technology used for building in developed nations is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the 3D concrete printing market during the forecast period.

Virtual Design and Construction (#VDC) and Building Information Modeling (#BIM) are both integral components of modern construction projects, and we often heard practitioners use these two concurrently. However, fundamentally, they serve different purposes and offer distinct functionalities. Here are the key differences between VDC and BIM: 🛠️ Focus 🏗️ VDC focuses on the use of digital tools and technologies to simulate and visualize construction projects before they are built. 🏙️ BIM uses the creation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. 🛠️ Scope 🏗️ VDC involves the creation of 3D models, clash detection, scheduling, construction process simulation, logitsic arrangement, mobilisation and cost estimation. 🏙️ BIM involves the creation of intelligent 3D models that not only represent the physical aspects of a building but also include data about its components, materials, and properties. 🛠️ Level of Detail 🏗️ VDC models may include detailed 3D models but might not necessarily incorporate extensive information about each component. 🏙️ BIM models are highly detailed and contain comprehensive information about every aspect of the building include information such as dimensions, material specifications, costs, and performance data. Tomorrow we will continue to explore 3 key differences between VDC and BIM!

Do you use Autodesk #Navisworks for #coordination and #designreview of your #BIM or #digitalengineering projects? Do you get Navisworks files with lots of redline text? If the answer is yes, then how do you search for a specific text string in all those markup viewpoints because we all know Redline text in Navisworks cannot be searched? The answer is using a simple workaround that I have shown in this document. PS: I am a fan of using Tags in Navisworks as the text in tags can be searched within Navisworks. So, no workaround needed for that. Or just open the Navisworks file on Autodesk Construction Cloud and use instead. #AutodeskLife

Architecture - Pan and zoom views ♻️ Feel free to comment, share and repost ✅ Connect with me 🤗 👨‍🚀 You can get now quite fast nice workflows with AI and free apps. Here is how is done: 1. Create a tall image with an AI generator where you can adjust the aspect ratio (use say 9:16) Feel free to use Midjourney, SD, Leonardo AI, ComfyUI, Musavir, Rubbrband, Pictgen, Dall-E3, Meta AI, Vizcom, PromeaAI, Nagnific/Freepik, Mnml, Yanus.ai… At least those are the usual ones for me 👨‍🚀 2. Import the tall format image in CapCut and adjust the start and end of the image scale and run the movie. ✅Tip: To keep a certain ar aspect you can start with a template image, say square format, and then delete it. It will define the format for the movie without searching for aspect ratio format changes. Have fun!

DAY 2 (17th June 2024) - OpenAI x IFC (OpenBIM) #Leverage Today is about testing OpenAI API with code samples, a small part of the big picture/solution we want to build together. The attached video shows snippets of how I walked through generating an image using the #OpenAI #API by using a simple prompt like you will do in ChatGPT (GPT 4 or 4o, DALLE3), but this time, using written Python Code. Here is the funny prompt 😅; "A very nice structural building with an engineer looking at the 2D sheet drawing of it close to the Atlantic Ocean". To see the final result of the process, watch till the end of the video. Enjoy! While building the code; here are the resources and libraries I used to help achieve the goal; 📌 OpenAI Text Generation module: https://lnkd.in/dNTxedmW 📌 Python Pillow (Image processing Library): https://lnkd.in/d-Fs7CRd 📌 Python URL library (An extensive library for opening and processing URL components): https://lnkd.in/dCFxe6rQ Today's PEP Talk: #Leverage in this case is about utilizing available AI models to build scalable and innovative solutions without developing my own AI model. That's more efficient and less time-consuming. So leverage. Up Next: I will commence understanding how a chosen OpenBIM (IFC) documentation works, and how I can build a sample IFC viewer application that reads and displays any IFC model. #BuildWithKennyStruct
