REVIT_Creation of Basic Drawing_Week 2
1Q) BIM is defined as “ Building Information and Modeling “. It is 3D model based software, which helps us to plan, design,manage building construction and visualize very efficiently by using wide variety of tools. BIM contains wide range of materials data when compared with CAD. Some best features of BIM include
- More Precise planning
- Best Visualization
- Access to all kinds of Information
