The base of BIM (Building Information Model) is a digital 3D model of the building. It consists of walls, slabs, roofs, doors, windows and such, just like the real building.
In BIM we also assign invisible data (metadata) to the digital elements of the model, such as structural function, fire resistance value, acoustic performance value, thermal transmittance, price, weight, product information, etc.
The model and the metadata together build a complex database we call BIM.

Gone are the days of designing in one software, visualizing in another, documenting in another, and creating takeoffs in another.
Back in the 80’s Graphisoft called this “Virtual Building” and has been at the core of Archicad’s development ever since.
