This presentation provides an overview of the conceptual use of BIMXML to manage building data. When viewed after the "Night at the Museum" humorous presentation, building industry professionals new to BIM can begin to better understand the value of gaining in-depth BIM education.

3. Learning Objectives
Understand your value organizing visual data reports
15
Realize this code language is already in use by leading entities

4. Learning Objectives
Begin your understanding of BIMXML benefits
Slide #
15
20 Slides introduce the value of BIMXML

5. Building Information Models
Extensible Markup Language
1
Modeling data productivity and profitability - http://BIMXML.org

6. People can understand 3D Objects in BIM
Excel can manage an almost infinite amount of BIM data
2
Extensible Markup Language already manages Excel data on the Web

7. Objects can be a Dot
Data can range from very simple to very complex
Slide 3
There can be more Excel data linked to a dot than to realistic objects

8. A Space can be an Object
Clearly defined data organization is key with BIMXML
4
This builds up quickly . . .

9. Spaces can hold multiple Objects
Spaces can be realistically detailed or symbolic
5
Related Excel files list information you organize

10. Spaces can have realistic objects . . .
. . . and symbols in them at the same time
6
Visuals are just a reporting tool - the building information in Excel is key

11. Spaces can be on floors
Floors can have geometric shapes and color codes
7
Multiple professions can code the same model in many ways

12. Floors can be in buildings
Buildings can be animated for construction sequencing
8
You can create “movies of the future” for your building (link)

13. Multiple buildings can create a Campus
A campus can be in 2D and have multiple “D” in Excel
9
The US Coast Guard Academy uses this process (link)

14. Objects in Spaces . . .
. . . in Buildings with Floors
10
A Building Information Model can be a BIM dot with infinite data

15. Web-based information can be very clear
Clear information improves professional decision making
11
This process is used in many industries and by the GSA (link)

16. Portfolios of Dots can be powerful
Every chair in a company or institution can be in BIMXML
12
California Community College has 72 mil sq in BIMXML (link)

17. Understanding Levels of Detail is key
Levels of Detail - the right information available at the right time
13
Visual clarity of information improves profitability

18. Levels of Detail can be seen as dots
BIMXML shows clear information to many professionals
14
The US Army Corps of Engineers uses BIMXML (link)

19. Non-linear Thinking is Required
Non-linear Levels of Detail improve productivity and profitability
15
Award Winning Case Studies are Available (link)

20. BIMXML supports multiple uses
Information from many programs can be brought together
16
Product installation and maintenance information can exist in one model

21. You probably already use XML
Linking XML to Models provides surprising benefits
17
You do not need to learn XML or BIMXML to use it

22. Quickly connect data from many programs
Discover solutions to seemingly intractable business problems
18
BIMXML will even connect to future programs through Excel

23. “Industry Foundation Classes” code Geometry
BIMXML inserts information into coded Geometry
19
You don’t need to code anything, but it helps to understand this concept

24. BIMXML is available today
This simplified code standard provides proven benefits
