Abstract:
A complete BIM model consists of the models of multiple professions. In the BIM design of the electric- power industry, different professions are designed by using different platforms, and then all professional models are integrated on a public platform. During the process, data form different platforms need to be converted to the public platform. According to the requirements of Shanxi Electric Power Co., Ltd., this paper studies the data exporting from the structure-model to Revit. All information of 3D entities and tower segments is input into Revit through IFC files, achieving the integration of structural model with other professional models. Lastly, the paper also illustrates the limitations and shortages of data exchange using IFC files.
