BIM Station 1.0

BIM has been present in Korea for more than 10 years,
however, since it is a technology that deals with complex 3D integrated information,
adoption and implementation of BIM still face limitations due to differences in work methods,
environment of technological implementation and many others, compared to CAD.

  • For easier and more powerful use
    of Revit basic functions

  • Significantly reduces simple
    repetitive tasks in design

  • Supports technological
    innovations for creative design

  • Prevents rework and improves
    delivery efficiency through
    support of public guidance
    from the PPS and other entities

Major Features of BIM Station 1.0

  • Functions for more convenient and practical usage of Revit
    BIM Station significantly simplifies the process of creating and editing Revit models. For example,
    The view generation functionmakes it easy to check areas even for large and complex models, thereby enhances the ease of operation.
    The smart filter functionmaximizes editing efficiency by selecting, separating, and hiding the desired family elements.
    The family management function saves time of operating functions, such as selection, export and batch editing.
    The finishing object automation function can automatically create and isolate finishing objects by linking with Excel data.
    The standard support function makes it easy and convenient to handle the modeling guide including BIM object separation by WBS defined by the Public Procurement Service.
    Other functions include automatic generation of grid-levels and many other convenient features for design.
  • Family generation and linkage, output of structural schedule with the use of structural calculation sheet
    The program frees from repetitive work by linking Excel data of structural calculation sheets with Revit. For example,
    The family linkage function links Excel data with families, and quickly processes generation, comparison verification, update etc.
    The schedule linkage function automatically and quickly creates a 2D schedule from Excel data.
  • Revit-based preliminary estimation function
    Quickly calculates construction costs for current Revit models.
    Preliminary estimation calculation function allows users to check estimated construction costs with one click at any time during Revit operation.
    The unit price management function allows users to directly input unit prices (BIM Station provides basic unit prices).
    *Preliminary estimation: For structure and finishes, prices are estimated based on quantity of BIM objects. For other work types, estimation is based on unit
    prices of the relevant area.

Features of BIM Station

  • Easier and more powerful use of Revit basic functions
    BIM Station maximizes the convenience of essential functions for performing Revit. Working environment of the designing process faces such
    problems as insufficient time, numerous tasks and frequent changes. In this environment, BIM operations must be easy, fast and powerful.
    BIM Station is a tool for Revit that is optimized for this challenging designing process.
  • Significant reduction of simple repetitive tasks in design
    As much as the design process involves a lot of creative work, it involves a high number of simple repetitive
    tasks. Architectural firms of the future will become an environment where the tasks that can be performed
    automatically will be left to the computer. BIM Station embodies innovation of productivity free from simple
    repetitive tasks.
  • Supporting innovative technologies to help design more creatively
    The designer's creative work must be backed by systematic knowledge, experience and vast amounts of data.
    In the 4th Industrial Revolution era, technology and contents for this will be constantly created and distributed.
    BIM Station is continuously developing technology that combines systematic knowledge and
    experience with BIM, which will provide support for future designers to concentrate more on creative work.
    (Cospec Innolab is participating in Phase II of the BIM R&D project by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs).
  • Uses open library and technology content with KBIMS support
    BIM Station supports KBIMS, and open guide and library can be used as they are. For example, data for linkage with the structural
    calculations uses the KBIMS Excel template, and if you use the KBIMS standard library for the preliminary estimation function, it
    does not require any additional work. (KBIMS standard guides, libraries, templates, etc. are distributed free of charge by the
    buildingSMART in Korea)
    *KBIMS stands for Korea BIM Standards. Korean BIM information standards were proposed by the buildingSMART through an
    R&D project by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in order to provide guidance on various criteria and data
    information required for BIM implementation.
  • Prevent rework and improve delivery efficiency through support of public guidance from the PPS and other entities
    The KBIMS standards supported by BIM Station are interoperable with public BIM guidelines of the Public Procurement Service
    (PPS), the Department of Defense and others. Therefore, BIM data that uses BIM Station meets the delivery requirements of
    public guidelines. If you find it difficult to meet guideline standards in the course of your work, you can easily edit and submit
    them during the delivery process. (E.g., if you work with a structure and building finishes in a single model in your design, you can
    easily separate and store each piece of data at the time of delivery). In addition, with the help of KBIMS, BIM Station prevents
    confusion and increases productivity of collaboration.
