    What is BIM

    Use this topic to introduce students to Residential BIM

    Do you know what residential BIM is?

    What does Residential BIM mean to you?

    Can Residential BIM add value to your business?

    Does not being interested in Residential BIM make economic sense?

    What is the difference between BIM and Residential BIM?

    I thought I knew. If you asked me a year or two ago I would have thought CA was BIM. Now I know its not close. I think BIM would be a great workflow to add, but I have it on Vectorworks and have never utilized its features since the 3D is vastly more difficult than CA - and so not a lot of people bother with BIM on Vectorworks for residential design.

    I followed the thread listed above and still not sure anyone really knows what BIM is. I'm more confused than ever.
