Abstract

In spite of the widespread adoption of Building Information Modelling in various construction sectors, interoperability issues still exist between tools and when develo** deliverables. Though IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) schema is meant to be an openBIM standard, it is highly dependent on the implementation of technically correct translators, which do not always generate the necessary information. Also, in some cases, software limitations make it impossible to meet all owner requirements, as IFC specific map**, or properties creation, so workflows that combine the capabilities of several platforms are necessary. In this communication, we describe a specific procedure for develo** a structural model that meets the conditions for being transferred not only to a structural analysis software, but for creating 3D model deliverables according to the conditions requested by the owner's BIM guide.
