Coordinated BIM Model: Architecture, Structure, & MEP Walkthrough

[iamarcelomolina]

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a recent BIM project I've been working on in Revit, showcasing synchronized architecture, structural, and MEP disciplines. I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on the workflow and presentation. Looking forward to learning from this great community!

Twinmotion, but you can use the Blender,Lumion,Unreal Engine,Enscap D5 render or etc.

1. Unreal Engine

• Pros: Powerful and widely used for real-time rendering and interactive experiences. Offers high-quality rendering and supports VR.
• Cons: Steeper learning curve compared to Twinmotion.
• Free: Fully free to use, with royalties applied only if your project generates revenue.

2. Blender

• Pros: Open-source 3D creation suite with robust rendering capabilities (using Eevee or Cycles render engines). Large online community for tutorials and support.
• Cons: Requires more setup for architectural visualization compared to Twinmotion.
• Free: Completely free and open-source.

3. Lumion Educational (Limited Free Version)

• Pros: Great for rendering and visualization, though the free version is aimed at students and educators.
• Cons: Watermarked outputs and limited features in the free version.
• Free: Educational licenses are free with restrictions.

4. D5 Render (Free Version)

• Pros: Real-time rendering software with impressive visuals and easy integration with software like Revit and SketchUp.
• Cons: The free version has limited features compared to the Pro version.
• Free: Free version available with some limitations.

5. Enscape (Free Trial or Academic)

• Pros: Real-time rendering plugin that integrates with Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, and ArchiCAD. Simple and intuitive interface.
• Cons: Free access limited to trial or academic use.
• Free: Free trials or academic licenses are available.

6. Sweet Home 3D

• Pros: Simple and beginner-friendly software for interior design and rendering.
• Cons: Limited capabilities for advanced visualization or animations.
• Free: Fully free and open-source.

7. OpenSCAD (for Basic Visualization)

• Pros: Open-source CAD tool focused on parametric design.
• Cons: Visualization is not as realistic as Twinmotion or Blender.
• Free: Completely free and open-source.

8. SketchUp Free (Web-based)

• Pros: Easy to use for 3D modeling, with basic rendering plugins available.
• Cons: Limited rendering features in the free version.
