The Future of Construction: Integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) with AI Technology

-
The construction and architecture industries are poised for a technological revolution, driven by integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Artificial Intelligence (AI). This powerful combination promises to enhance efficiency, improve decision-making, and pave the way for innovative project management and design solutions. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits, challenges, and future potential of integrating BIM with AI, drawing insights from industry reports, case studies, and expert opinions.      Benefits of Integrating BIM with AI Enhanced Efficiency and Productivity : Integrating AI with BIM can significantly streamline construction processes. AI algorithms can automate repetitive tasks such as clash detection, data analysis, and report generation, allowing professionals to focus on strategic decision-making. This automation not only speeds up project timelines but also reduces the likelihood of human error. Improved Design Optimization ...

Arithmetic in AutoCAD Commands

ADDSELECTED

 Differs from COPY by duplicating only the general properties of an object. For example, creating an object based on a selected circle adopts the general properties of the circle, such as its color and layer, but prompts you for the new circle’s center point and radius.
With the ADDSELECTED command, you can create a new object with the same object type as a selected object. Certain objects have special properties that are supported in addition to its general properties, as shown in the following table.




addselected



SUBTRACT
With SUBTRACT, you can create a 3D solid by subtracting one set of existing 3D solids from another, overlapping set. You can create a 2D region object by subtracting one set of existing region objects from another, overlapping set. You can select only regions for use with this command.

Note: Using SUBTRACT with 3D surfaces is not recommended. Use the SURFTRIM command instead.
Select the objects that you want to keep, press Enter, then select the objects that you want to subtract.
autocad-subtract

Objects in the second selection set are subtracted from objects in the first selection set. A single new 3D solid, surface, or region is created.


You can only subtract regions from other regions that are on the same plane. However, you can perform simultaneous SUBTRACT actions by selecting sets of regions on different planes. The program then produces separate subtracted regions on each plane. Regions for which there are no other selected coplanar regions are rejected.
You cannot use SUBTRACT with mesh objects. However, if you select a mesh object, you will be prompted to convert it to a 3D solid or surface.

 DIVIDE
Creates evenly spaced point objects or blocks along the length or perimeter of an object.
The following prompts are displayed.
Select object to divide: Use an object selection method
Enter number of segments or [Block]: Enter a value from 2 through 32,767, or enter b
autocad-divide

Use DDPTYPE to set the style and size of all point objects in a drawing.

MULTIPLE
The command that you enter is repeated until you press Esc. Because MULTIPLE repeats only the command name, any parameters must be specified each time.
MULTIPLE does not repeat commands that display dialog boxes.
Note: You cannot use MULTIPLE as an argument to the AutoLISP® command function.
Multiple LINE
Step 1: Key in MULTIPLE
Step 2: Key in LINE for the commands to repeat
Step 3: Draw Several Lines without stopping the command

How to Save Auto-CAD  Drawing as Read Only – is quite a difficult way to answer. The only way to answer this question is by giving different options for the user to Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only. Let’s see some of them below. Save Auto-CAD Drawing as Read Only Some of the different methods are listed below please choose which is appropriate in your case. Method 1 – Use Save As Auto-CAD Drawing Files as DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk), by this method you actually prevent the user to make any changes to your drawing files. Making the Drawing as Read-Only Files Method 2 – Ideally you could right click on the drawing file icon (once saved), go to properties and tick read only. Ahh, well that doesn’t “lock” the drawing or anything. they can still edit it, do a Save As, or simply unchecked the Read Only option for the file once they have it. Method 3 – In case you are on a Network, you can ...

7 Tips and Tricks Why Revit Structure Elements are Missing or HIDDEN

Why Missing or Hidden: It is like hide and seek sometimes you are not aware you did it or surprisingly you don't.  Unless there is a plugin that pop-ups in you Revit someone who hides your modelled element. 1. Properties--> Under Structural--> Checked out or ticked the "STRUCTURAL". It depends on the discipline you are working on in the model. This happens when the 3D model element is showing but the plan and section are missing. 2. Look or Hit the Visibility Graphics? Under model categories, Annotation Categories, and Filter. It's all there for you to check and find out. For example, steel won't show a stick symbol. Check the visibility graphics, next model categories, look at the structural framing under that tick the stick symbol. 3. Reveal or un-Hide HIDDEN ELEMENTS. It's a blue bulb icon. Under the view control bar and reveals the elements you froze before. 4. Deleted or Purged. The only way you to chase the missing element is to look ...

10 Little Known Facts About Autodesk and AutoCAD

10 Little Known Facts About Autodesk and AutoCAD AutoCAD 2.5, released in June 1986, was the first version in the US and Canada to require a hardware lock. Responding to user complaints, Autodesk sent all customers AutoCAD 2.52, which removed the lock. The program that became AutoCAD was created by Mike Riddle, and was originally called " Interact". Its name was changed to " microCAD," but when another company had already created a program with that same name, it was renamed " AutoCAD". The company we now know as Autodesk was founded by 17 friends and acquaintances in John Walker's home in Mill Valley, CA, who pooled $59,000 to fund the startup. Today, Autodesk has a market capitalization of nearly $13 billion. The company Autodesk was originally named Marin Software Partners, a partnership among the 17 founders. Did you know that many AutoCAD releases had code-names? Although AutoCAD Release 9 was often referred to as " The White Album...
