BIM Model Data Extraction
 Objective

• To introduce students to the processes of extracting and processing

BIM data.

LEARNING OUTCOME

• LO5- Extract and process data from a simple BIM model.

What do you mean by extraction of data?

• Process that involves retrieval of data from various sources.

• Data extraction is the process of getting data from a source
for further data processing, storage or analysis elsewhere.
The term data collection is often used when talking about
data extraction.

EXTERNAL ANALYSIS
INTERNAL ANALYSIS
Advantage of External Analysis

• ANALYSIS
• FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
• COORDINATION
Disadvantage External Analysis

• EXCHANGE FORMAT DOES NOT EQUAL OPEN FORMAT

• FUNCTIONALITY (BUILDINGS ONLY, NOT COMPONENTS)
• ARCHIVAL QUALITY
• AS-BUILT and FUTURE WORKS
• COMPLEXITY
Advantage of Internal Analysis

• WIDE OPPURUNITIES FOR

EXPANSSION OF APPLICATIONS
• CONVINIENCE
• SPEED
• PRODUCIVITY
Disadvantage of Internal Analysis

• Complexity of the project/ task

• Frequency of usage
• Distribution among the users
• Level of programming skills

• Investigation of a Revit Model

(Manually)

• Using schedule
