This weekend, I attended a BIM Education seminar by Saniye Öktem and a Revit seminar by Tolga Arçok. For the people who are interested in this kind of stuff, I wanted to mention some highlights from the seminar. In the beginning, the image below was presented and some important differences were asked.
The most important thing that caught my attention was the VR headsets, this technology is being used in some firms to examine the building by simply putting on the headset and wander inside the structure. There are some pretty interesting gadgets as well and the environment looks very diverse and safe. I think this model is a great example, and with the technology we use I think this image is not so far away from reality.
BIM is a methodology that can enable safe, efficient, and sustainable construction site the image represents. Efficiency is obtained because every discipline can work with coordination in the same model. When exporting a model or data, there is no loss or misunderstanding because while using Revit, everything is assigned prior to it being included in the schedules. I think the construction process would be much more organized and revisions would decrease is BIM methodology is used.
There are many software's and add-ins that can be used with Revit, most outstanding ones in my opinion is firstly Advanced Steel and Robot Structural Analysis. Aside from them a program I found very impressive and advanced was TestFit. In this program, the user assigns the map location and the program generates example models. The models can be imported to Revit or another modeling program and can be later on adjusted and improved but it was pretty impressive seeing software generating a whole model. Here is a youtube video explaining;
Here is an article about BIM Methodology:

Great stuff. TestFit does seem very useful. I like it very much.
