BIM has been used by contractors and architects for 20 years, but the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing realms have been stuck with 2D modeling, Michael Grose explains in Engineering News-Record. Now, however, many MEP firms are using BIM for 3D+ design.
We have learned a lot about designing for MEP BIM in the process, and we have discovered a few recurring issues. More importantly, we have found—and would like to share—some workarounds to at least partially address those issues, and ultimately help improve MEP 3D design for construction."
