Building Information Model: A Graphical User Interface to Generate a Three Dimensional Building
From the past few decades, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been evolving to become one of the robust domains connecting different dimensions from Architecture, Engineering and Constructions. Even though it started to take over a large part of the globe in understanding various components of structure, it is yet to reach a common person for generating a 3D building for a given area. In this study, a three dimensional graphical user interface is developed to generate a 3D building from given parameters such as height of each floor, number of bays in each direction, dimensions of major structural elements and information related to windows and doors. The future work of this tool is to give different three dimensional structures for any given plan including its analysis, design and material quantities at any location of the globe considering local structural types with inclusion of structural standard codes.
