Editor's Notes
- Senior BIM Author at RIBA Enterprises Manage the content development team who create generic and proprietary BIM objects for the NBS National BIM Library. 7 years FaulknerBrowns Heavy involvement with implementing the transition from traditional CAD to BIM within the Darlington Office.
- This demonstrates where the NBS services fit into the RIBA plan of works
- These are the three main products that the Product Information team work with Stats re visitors are over a 12 month period
- The session is about demonstrating how the NBS are developing tools and services to Assist designers working in a digital environment
- To date NBS have developed a Revit plugin and ArchiCAD have developed a plugin Revit has had the majority of development due to update in the industry but NBS are currently working with ArchiCAD to develop tools on offer.
- There are thousands of generic and proprietary objects available from over 200 manufacturers. You can drag and drop these objects straight into your design model. All NBS BIM objects contain references to the equivalent NBS specification clauses. > Click to play video and prove commentary
- Benefit from direct access to expert NBS guidance. Select an object in the model and the equivalent ‘general guidance’ page in the NBS guidance displays, with information such as design principles, performance, health and safety, environmental and contractual issues. > Click to play video and prove commentary
- All objects within the design can be linked to the relevant specification clause using the ‘Associate Object with Clause’ feature. > Click to play video and prove commentary
- If a designer’s office have their own BIM objects, they can add the NBS parameters required to enable integration with the specification. This can be done either by clicking the NBS button within the Autodesk Revit Family editor or manually adding these properties from the NBS shared parameter file. > Click to play video and prove commentary
- You can create an outline specification from the design model with one click of a button, which provides a specification that is synchronised with your model. By doing this not only does this save you time, it also gives you confidence that your model and your specification are the same. > Click to play video and prove commentary
- The user may check that all objects are correctly associated with NBS clauses across the project. The report shows the status of all relevant objects and highlights where a clause has been renamed or removed from the specification. You will be guided through the process of fixing these with information such as which user renamed an item and when. > Click to play video and prove commentary
- Ability to drag objects straight into your model On hand guidance notes on object selection Linkage back to specification Ability to upgrade your own content Generate an outline specification from your model Report on broken links to spec
- A chance to preview and feedback on a new IFC export that allows you to combine property sets from the linked specification clauses with the objects in the model. A further function in beta testing is the ability to add information from the specification to the model
- Next we will look at the functions of the National BIM library website and how these functions may improve your workflow Give a brief over view of what the NBL
- My library is the home of what you have starred, downloaded and what has been updated. It is the dashboard to your BIM objects.
- Browse objects on the move, at a design team meeting Build up starred objects for a project, download when required Filter starred objects by keyword, sort and download
- Why have objects been updated?: NBS may have updated objects to meet BIM object standard Manufacturers have updated their products: Impact on geometry Impact on data Manufacturers have updated their company or product name NBS update objects to reflect changes to specification, classification etc. We inform you of the changes to let you decide to update or not > Click displays example changes
- As soon as an object is downloaded from the website it is automatically added to your library Historic list of previous content that has been saved onto a hard drive or used in a project Ability to order these by date Mention the development of tagging what you have downloaded or starred
- Ever wonder what data is contained in a BIM object before downloading ? How do you select the correct product?
- The properties and values function will help you.
- Need to contact a manufacturer for more details, use the technical help function
- A feature we have been playing with is product comparison This might appear in one or more of our product information services, would this be uesful?
- We have covered the main features of the site Site has been developed to assist in a designers workflow
- The standard is intended for construction professionals, manufacturers and other BIM content developers to assist in the creation of BIM objects that operate in a Common Data Environment The NBS BIM Object Standard defines requirements for the information, geometry, behaviour and presentation of BIM objects, to give reassurance of quality that will enable greater collaboration and efficient information exchange across the construction industry. By standardising BIM objects, you can consistently use, compare, analyse, and share information to make informed decisions quickly and confidently. > 5 sections appear on click
- At a basic levels objects should be classified correctly in software Allows models to be quickly filtered by a designer > Example model filtering on click
- Property sets to include within BIM objects. Defined order of selection gives a consistent method in how to select properties that exist across multiple sources. Property naming criteria allows parent/child values to be consistently named > Example NBS window data on click > Example hierarchy selection and child naming on click
- Does an object require parametrical controlled geometry or is it fixed? Using symbolic data by define higher levels of detail in accordance to BS 8541-2 Minimum or maximum space requirements for access Applying finishes, hatch patterns, textures etc. > Example BS 8541- 2 on click > Level of door jamb detail levels on next 3 clicks
- Manufacturing constraints to restrict object manipulation Does an object need to connect with other building elements? > Click for boiler example > Click for connection example > Click for space requirements
- Consistent naming conventions across all files > Before and after MP3 naming example on click
- Providing consistency when scheduling and co-ordinating information. Associate NBS specification properties to allow integration with the NBS Plug-in. A lot of the Plug-in features require NBSReference and NBSDescription to function.

- The templates can be used to streamline the adoption of the NBS BIM Object Standard by eliminating the need to load each shared parameter individually, and manually sort the property into the correct group. When used alongside the NBS shared parameter file the templates will provide consistent data standards and parameter GUIDs across your BIM project Download the zip file containing the set of templates and save them to your templates folder for the next time you create a Revit family or start a new project.
- Archicad tool makes creating components easy Adding data is quick and simple based upon filling out a spread sheet NBS have assisted Archicad in this development
- PDTs are available from the BIMToolkit Search the site and download as required
- An example of a pdt to be completed by a manufacturer. This promotes manufacturers presenting structured data The manufacturer can then upload this completed document to riba Product Selector
