Collaboration requires compromise even when BIM isn't involved. Look for opportunities to use a different method than you typically use that may be more compatible. In some cases, you may need to accept drawings that are good enough for construction, and not 100% up to your office graphic standards. Don't expect the programs, and resulting models, to match they never will. Better to draw something clearly with lines and fills that to force the model to work and create confusion during construction. Experiment with different file types IFC is good, but Rhino, 3DS, STL, our even 2D DWG may be better for certain areas. Good technical communication will be the key. They will need to put in some time of trial and error to find the best workflow, especially at the beginning of the project. The designers often want to render with the partner's model, but the appearance is substandard, and elements need to be remodeled.Įach team will need to have a BIM Manager/Coordinator who is willing to work with his or her counterpart. One of the worst scenarios is splitting Interior Design (finishes/FFE) and Interior Architecture. If it's much more interwoven than that, it can be a nightmare. Sometimes, one will take on the Site, and the other designs the Building. The most common collaboration is to have one Architect design the Core and Shell, while the other does the Interior Build-out. The easiest way is spatially, by region of the plan. It's important to come up with an agreement up front to properly delegate the work (and document it clearly). The Archicad-Revit translation is still not anywhere near perfect (mainly Revit's importing), and the IFC structure is still evolving. We've done several collaboration projects with other Architects, and while the process has improved in the last few years, it is still painful.
