BIM-GIS INTEGRATION

What is BIM-GIS integration?

BIM-GIS integration is the process of combining GIS data with BIM design data. This allows professionals to visualize design data in a geographic context, enhance project understanding and enabling better site analysis. Additionally, BIM-GIS integration improves the management of construction and maintenance activities over time, as design and location data can be used to identify and resolve issues more quickly.

Which software used for BIM GIS integration?

Specific BIM-GIS integration software is required to integrate BIM and GIS. In particular, usBIM.gis is the free and advanced solution that allows you to directly visualize geospatial information and construction-related data in an integrated manner on the model, simplifying the planning and management of complex projects.

How is GIS used in BIM?

GIS technology can be used in BIM for various purposes such as site analysis, energy analysis, and construction planning. In fact, GIS provides a range of data deriving from on site conditions that can be integrated into BIM models to assess the environmental impact of a project and improve its planning, design, and construction.

GIS maps integrated into BIM process for projects | usBIM.gis | ACCA Software

GIS maps integrated into the BIM process for more effective projects

The GIS (Geographic information system) is a geographic information system that allows you to analyze, represent and examine entities or events that occur across a given territory.

The integration between BIM (Building Information Modeling) and GIS (Geographic Information System) represents a great evolutionary leap for the construction sector.

usBIM.gis is the free usBIM application with advanced BIM management tools and developed for you to take full advantage of BIM-GIS integration and also create thematic GIS maps connected to digital twins.

By integrating location intelligence of GIS to BIM processes you also get:

  • a shared database and a dynamic and continuous exchange of data between the two systems without loss of information;
  • an much more precise and complete vision of the project and of the urban and environmental context
  • a new information layer added to the project and its relating digital twin, consisting of territorial indicators (climatic conditions, vulnerabilities,seismic and hydrogeological risks, infrastructure and logistic services, construction quality metrics, etc.) which are the main indicators that affect all phases of the project life cycle .

Connect GIS data with BIM information and manage maps | usBIM.gis | ACCA software

Connect GIS data with BIM information and manage interactive maps

With the BIM-GIS software you can manage object viewing on the maps using specific functions such as:

  • Quickly fly to different locations to identify objects within the GIS map;
  • Hide to manage the visibility mode of selected objects;
  • Zoom in and Zoom out to adjust the thematic map details viewing scale.

Also manage object properties identified on the thematic map thanks to the various editing functions.

The integration between the BIM model and the GIS map can be completed by adding information by associating links to documents present on the platform or to external web resources.

FAQ

usBIM.gis is not a simple GIS software because it also has all the advantages of the integrated usBIM system.

In particular:

  • you have a fully on-line application at your disposal;
  • you don’t need to install any software;
  • It’s free;
  • all your work is saved on a secure cloud service enabling you to access your data from anywhere and from any device (PC, tablet, smartphone);
  • connect BIM documents and models from the usBIM cloud service directly to the maps;
  • navigate BIM models integrated in a given map directly with usBIM;
  • work on the same document simultaneously with other colleagues too;
  • share your documents by sending a simple link through the integrated chat service (usBIM.chat);
  • even geolocalize very complex IFC models.

Yes, you can easily create GIS maps from scratch and customise them according to your needs with different layers and markers.

In order to create a new GIS map with usBIM.gis, you don’t need any other licensed software for managing GIS files.

All that you need is:

  • access to usBIM;
  • click on the "New document" icon to add a new file;
  • choose the type of file, in this case a 'GIS map';
  • choose the map type from OpenStreetMap™, Esri.WorldImagery™, GMaps-Streets™, GMaps-Satellite™, GMaps-Terrain™;
  • draw lines, polylines and polygons as required;
  • create and associate new layers;
  • insert markups directly on the map;
  • when you have finished your work, you can save the draft in usBIM or export the map in the standard. GeoJSON format.

Yes, you can attach any BIM model on the GIS map but also different kinds of files such as images, PDF documents, IFC files and all documents useful to add information to your work.

You can associate your 3D model with the elements inserted in the map (polylines, polygons, markers) and geo-localize it according to your needs.

To place a BIM model on your GIS map simply:

  • upload the 3D model to the usBIM.platform, in any format (e.g. EDF, RVT, IFC, SKP, etc.);
  • open the GIS map;
  • select the element directly on the map and associate the BIM model;
  • click on the icon in the top right-hand corner;
  • drag&drop the 3D file or add it manually by clicking on the "+" icon.

Con usBIM.gis you can:

  • import maps in the .GeoJSON format;
  • create maps linked to BIM models from OpenStreetMap™, Esri.WorldImagery™, GMaps-Streets™, GMaps-Satellite™, GMaps-Terrain™;
  • insert graphical elements and annotations such as lines, rectangles, texts, polygons and markers;
  • create one or more customised layers;
  • add customised properties to maps;
  • connect document links from the cloud platform to create true thematic maps of the BIM model;
  • collaborate and work with several people in real time and on the same document;
  • export documents in the .GeoJSON format.

Of course, the usBIM system allows you to work on the same document with your co-workers, even simultaneously. In this way everyone can participate seamlessly to modify, insert markers or other elements on the map and compare notes in real time, even if you are not physically working in the same place.
