4D BIM Simulation

4D BIM: watch the schedule build the model.

The problem

A schedule is a list of dates; it's hard to see whether the sequence actually works in space. We're exploring 4D simulation that plays the schedule out on the model in a game engine.

What we built

  • Links schedule activities to model elements
  • Plays the build sequence over time in 3D
  • Photoreal viewer built on a game engine (Unreal)
  • Spot sequencing and access conflicts before the field does
