If you are attending BIM Show Live 2013 then please come and see NBS at our stand
P15 located in the Software Lounge. If you are interested in BIM and specification, want to see a demonstration of
NBS Create or
National BIM Library then please come and say hello.

On the Tuesday I will be doing a live demonstration of
NBS Create and
National BIM Library content on the
Technology Stage. I'll show how you can take a design model, link it to a specification model, generate a single combined IFC model and then finish with a COBie dataset. All in 15 minutes. I will do it all as a live software demonstration too - so I promise no Powerpoint slides (not sure I can promise "
no blue screens of death" - but that's what keeps things interesting :)).
So - date for the diary -
Day Two - 1st May - 12:30 Technical Stage

Also on the Tuesday
Ian Chapman will join me and Pantellis. Ian is an Engineer who heads our Technical Team. Ian is also a
buildingSMART UK director so he's perfect for any questions about IFC and the
buildingSMART Data Dictionary.
Ian is also leading out the creation of hundreds of generic MEP objects for the National BIM Library. This work has started now - Ian may be able to give you a sneak preview of this and even invite you onto our steering group if you are interested.

Finally,
Drew Wiggett is not able to attend this year. Little Drew is due to be born any day now :) Level 4 data drop on the way.
Hi Stephen, I'm a big fan of this blog. Its definitely one of the best sources of UK BIM info on the web.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you could confirm that the MEP objects will be released in IFC format with intelligent connectors, and not just in RFA format?
Also, I don't know whether you're aware of it, but there's a draft specification for IFC product libraries. It would be great if the NBL's objects would eventually conform to it. You can see it here: http://www.dds-cad.net/files/net.dds-cad.com/downloads/Presseberichte/2013_03_11_IFC_for_Object_Libraries_spesification.pdf
Tim,
ReplyDeleteLeading the work is Ian Chapman who is a director of Building SMART UK. IFC is right at the forefront of our BIM vision.
Please contact Ian at @IanChapmanNBS or on linkedin and maybe we could have a catch up and share our plans a bit more?
S
I'm not actually part of the people who created that draft document, I was just sharing it with you so you'd be best contacting them for more info on the IFC product libraries.
