Current BIM Systems 4
Published in Jonathan Ingram, Understanding BIM, 2020
Initially aimed at architecture ArchiCAD has now evolved into a full BIM system with its MEP modeller. Graphisoft also produces its own MEP Object library and Toolbox. The library contains an extensive list of MEP specific objects or components. Structural design is done via external systems such as Tekla using IFC to communicate the specific elements. ArchiCAD can export the standard image formats (JPG etc.) and import and export DWG and DXF files (2D drawing files).
Operability of Point Cloud Data in an Architectural Heritage Information Model
Published in International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 2022
Juan Moyano, Juan E. Nieto-Julián, Lara M. Lenin, Silvana Bruno
This approach is tested on the pulpit of the Church The Company of Jesus in Quito (Ecuador). The dense point cloud, processed via SfM algorithms, and the CAD drawings by Lenin Lara as the architect and Carlos Pallares Sevilla as the executive director in 2002 (Escudero Albornoz 2004) were obtained by vectorisation of orthophotographs processed via stereoscopic photogrammetry. The comparison between the SfM model and the dihedral projections (.dwg file format) revealed width and height deviations in different sections of the pulpit (Figure 7). The blue and red lines represent the projections of the orthophotos, and the point cloud SfM is shown as the image in the figure. The geometric difference in the stairs area reached 0.10 metres.

Arg of Tabriz (Arge Alishah) which is shown in Figure 1 is a historical building that dates back to the 14th century and known as the highest sanctuary of Islam world. This building’s 3D image was scanned by Cultural Heritage Organization (CHO) of East Azarbaijan Province and also its 3D model was received from CHO in .dwg file format. The 3D-FE model of this building was then created in ABAQUS (2012) software using solid elements. As depicted in Figure 2, the plan of the building look likes “U” and it was built from 3 thick walls which thickness of each eastern and western walls is 10.4 m and thickness of the southern wall is 5.8 m.

First, the topographic data of the Historic District is obtained from an open-source data site named the “Geospatial Data Cloud”. On this site, the contour vector data files of the Historic District are obtained, which are imported into the Global Mapper software. As a result, elevation dwg files (a kind of file format type with elevation data) are obtained through analysis of the contour data.
