Does Chief X1 make your plumbing & electrical details?

[lbuttery]

isn't this more about how far a designer can conceivably go to accurately portray ALL of the possible information necessary to "assemble or construct" something?


Jim:


For most residential I think you are correct, but for larger projects, say apartment buildings etc then the BIM principles start to kick in and it becomes important for all the trades to know where everything is being run to avoid conflicts etc.


Archicad and Intilcadd and other software that have true BIM do deal with these issues.
