Collaborate Building Information Model with the Structural Engineer.cde

There is no need to create a new model for structural calculations of architectural projects prepared with ideCAD Architecture. Because the Building Information Model was created in the architectural project phase of the designed building. Building objects such as walls, columns, beams, foundations, stairs, zones are common to both professions. In addition, the properties of the objects such as width, height, elevation and material are the same. The fact that walls and zones can be defined at the architectural project stage allows the project and engineering works to start without any loss of information and time and shortens the structural preparation process. Thus, the engineer receives a project from the architect, consisting of elements whose parameters are almost completely determined at the end of the design work.
