BIM (Building Information Modeling) is great for large commercial projects with conventional geometry, but what about modeling an architectural Mayan ruins site that's been excavated, or modeling themed columns with adjacent rockwork, or pulling quantities for a mountain? These are some of the challenges we faced when considering Revit software for our theme park projects. Come and listen as we share the good, the bad, and the ugly of our lessons learned when taking on these unconventional projects, and how we overcame the problems. This is the story of a firm's quest to design a Mayan theme park in Revit, and how that firm used Revit to set in motion best practices for all its subsequent theme park projects.
Understand what challenges come with adopting BIM for unconventional projects
Learn how to use multiple BIM platforms to synergistically overcome performance issues
Learn how to capitalize on BIM for large unconventional projects
Learn what best practices exist for managing complex geometry
