Development of 3 d interfaces for mobile BIM applications by João Poças MartinsJoao Rio
This presentation by João Poças Martins talks about information technologies (IT) evolved in a fairly significant way over the last few years, having its impact also reached the AEC industry (Architecture, Engineering and Construction). The modeling programs of Building Information Modeling (BIM) are presented as the next step in the cooperation and collaboration between the various actors in the construction site and between several specialties. However, there are still barriers to be exceed to its complete adoption in work because, not only of its complexity, but also due to fact that its usage is in personal computers so, in a fixed workstations. There is a necessity of bringing these models to portable workstations through simple and easy inter-faces that can be generated in game engines.
The present dissertation conducted an empirical study with the goal of finding a workflow between BIM software and game engines that would preserve the greatest possible amount of information. Af-ter finding a workflow that presented good results, it was proceeded to deepen this process, by explor-ing some of the potential of the game engine which can be applied to the interface. After this, the in-terface was built through a webpage.
At last, it was made a practical application of this methodology in a real building, exploring how the reunion of BIM models with game engines can contribute in a positive way to situations that involve teaching and security in work.

Slides presented at the xbim Flex webinar Jan 21, where we explained our goals, the history of xbim and the xbim Toolkit, and talked more about the Flex Platform as a Service (PaaS). Flex is builds on the xbim Toolkit and allows developers to build scalable cloud-based web solutions for BIM data using the IFC OpenBIM format.
xbim Flex: taking the xbim toolkit into the cloudAndy Ward
Our next webinar looks at how we have taken the trusted xbim Toolkit, which allows developers to build web solutions for BIM data using the IFC OpenBIM format, and developed it into our xbim Flex "Platform as a Service" (PaaS). Flex can can be used to build, secure scalable cloud-based web solutions for BIM data.
BIM means a multitude of things to a myriad of stakeholders, companies, and geographical locations, based on multiple factors.
However, from a holistic viewpoint, the meaning we append to and the expectations we have of BIM are not as important as the connection that BIM brings when properly deployed with cloud-based solutions; thus, filling so many inefficiency gaps.
This is the era of Connected Construction and there has been an increased need for remote collaboration across every industry.
For whatever reason you implement Digital Transformation in your practice, you will most likely reap more benefits in the long run, if you can collaborate and connect with the other stakeholders across your projects.
Extend the Value of Your BIM Data with FME: Part 1Safe Software
BIM contains useful data that can be shared, analyzed, and stored for project management and efficiency purposes.
However, the information stored often doesn’t get used to its full potential because of the complexity of BIM workflows and interoperability with other formats and applications.
That’s where FME comes in. FME extends the value of BIM data by enabling it to be used in more places, in more ways, by more people.
In this webinar, we’ll share real case studies of how BIM users around the world are maximizing its potential.
You'll see how FME users are accomplishing common BIM transformation tasks like:
- Extracting & converting BIM data to share, analyze and store across hundreds of formats
- Transforming, integrating, and validating BIM
- Automating BIM workflows
- Amplify your data by combining the power of BIM with the power of FME.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

2. Open Source BIM
Open Source BIM collective
Collective of individual open source projects
Collaborate on ‘boring’ stuff (hosting, marketing, legal questions,…)
Committed to interconnect individual tools to a seamless experience
Holds ‘main’ projects, but also plugins, micro standards (for the
interconnection) and experimental research.
5. Where it all started: BIMserver.org
BIMserver.org mission is to help all actors in the Architectural,
Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry to collaborate more
efficiently and effectively (and thereby creating better buildings for
lower costs).
BIMserver.org goal is to create the most favourite software platform
for collaboration in the AEC-industry.
www.bimserver.org - wiki.bimserver.org
7. BIMserver tactics:
Mission: help AEC to collaborate more efficiently and effectively
+
Position: researchers = not software vendors
Creating a platform for others to build on top / extend;
No direct end-users;
Creating a snowball effect;
=
Goal: create most favourite platform by lowering the threshold for
developers of niche applications
=
Mission: help AEC to collaborate more efficiently and effectively
10. What BIMserver is….
Open and stable core to use and build on top
Core server features like revisions, authorization, compare, query,
model checking, merging, etc..
Open interfaces, lots of network protocols (soap, PB, json)
Open standards
Plugin framework for render engines (like IfcOpenShell);
ObjectIDMs & Query engines (like BimQL)
Flexible admin configuration & fine-tuning
Good developers documentation and SDK
Open source
Etc..
12. In short BIMserver is an IFC database
Data that comes in, is stored as objects in the database
We don’t have to translate IFC to our internal model (which makes it
possible to build such a reliable import/export)
But we also DO NOT analyze geometry
Geometry in IFC are objects; we store the objects as is
Downside:
When you want to transform to others formats someone has to do
CSG / Boolean operations*
(and as a server we don’t feel it is up to us)
* = For example for our IFC->GIS experiment in 2009
15. Thanks to the collaboration
IFC geometry is now rendered during check-in (optional)
Geometry is stored in BIMserver database to make is accessible for
all other plugins (serializers, services, etc) and developers
Much better color support then most commercial tools
Geometry optimization (efficiency)
Pretty reliable
21. And others joined….
bimvie.ws (html/javascript GUI; also available as BIMserver plugin)
BimQL (open BIM query language)
COBie plugins (to support COBie in BIMserver)
Most recent (unstable):
BCF server (wordpress plugin to create a BCF topic server)
BCF Forum (combines BCF Server, BIMserver and BIM Surfer to
create a dashboard to discuss issues of your BIM)
24. Some promising newcomers:
BcfReporter
ConceptLibraryLink (for BIMserver)
openIFD (experiment to build bottom-up concept libraries)
And honorable mentions of silently died projects:
Java3D viewer
BOM extractor
IfcObjectTagger
WebGL-ThreeJS
25. Interconnecting
During the interconnection of the different tools we found that we
needed to standardize and document interfaces between the
separate projects:
BIMSie between (more generic) BIM services
Between IFC render engines and BIMserver
Between BIMserver and BIM Surfer (streaming, binary)
BCF server interface (beta)
Documenting them (well… at least plan to) on openbimstandards.org
But don’t take this too serious… We are BuildingSMART fans!
