A plug-in can be used to connect the different software. Send to the BIM authoring software after converting the file to IFC format (see below). If there is a common file format for transferring between different software, the designed model with all its properties can be transferred to the BIM authoring software. 
Use the main BIM authoring software ( Revit or ArchiCAD) to remodel the chosen part. When working with specialist design software that has proprietary data formats, there are several options for professionals to coordinate between the different packages: These files are also layer-based and most platforms will accept them as a format. Although it is commonly thought that DWG files are limited to 2D information, they are capable of containing 3D objects as either basic planes or full components (‘ blocks’).ĭXF is the Drawing Interchange (or Exchange) Format, similar to DWG, but slightly larger in file size. There are many other programs capable of the task, such as ACCA software Edificius, and Nemetschek Allplan. DWG files are editable in any CAD-based program, the most well known being Autodesk AutoCAD, Graphisoft ArchiCAD and Bentley MicroStation. This is Autodesk’s proprietary format for AutoCAD files and is the format most universally accepted by viewing/authoring programs. NWC and NWF are other Navisworks file formats. This is Autodesk’s proprietary format for Navisworks files, which can only be opened in Navisworks Freedom or Navisworks Manage. RTE: Autodesk Revit template file format. RFA: Autodesk Revit family file format. This is Autodesk’s proprietary format for Revit files, and can only be opened in Revit. This use of proprietary formats may hamper interoperability if project team members are using different types of software. Proprietary file formats are those that are only readable by their own, and other permitted, software. Having a sound knowledge of the data and file formats used helps make informed decisions when choosing software packages, and agreeing protocols for collaboration. Typically, users work with specialist software, such as Orion ( structural engineers), VectorWorks ( mechanical engineers), Autodesk Civil 3D ( civil engineers), and so on. There are many ways in which data can be managed in a BIM workflow, and as a result there are a number of different file formats that can be used.
