Abstract

The transition to parametric 3D Building information Modeling (BIM) is predicated on the many uses of a fully digital building representation. This paper explores two important uses: (1) the embedding of design and construction expertise into modeling tools, and (2) the movement of building type design guides to new more integrated digital formats.
