The essence of innovation in the construction industry is moving beyond boundaries and revealing ideal opportunities for users to try more exclusive methods of construction. That said, accurate design data conversion through innovative methods holds more prominence.
Achieving a simplified data exchange is essential for the construction community, as it provides an easy and impactful way to convert models from one software solution to another (whether CAD software or a BIM software application). BIMDeX can be the equipped solution to offer a simplified, yet more advanced model conversion for users.
An exclusive solution from BIMDeX is the BIMDeX Manager, which is meant for extensive data management of CAD/ BIM models where simplifying data exchange is made simple. Let’s discuss more about BIMDeX Manager in this blog, stay with us!
Why BIMDeX for Credible Data Exchange?
Before jumping into BIMDeX Manager, let’s get to know about BIMDeX first. BIMDeX is an interoperable data conversion solution developed to transfer and exchange design data information between various CAD and BIM applications. The solution has the proprietary file format of BXF to transfer the models, avoiding the incompatibility that comes with file format complexions.
BIMDeX transfers the models with all the inclusive metadata information, preserves the geometry of the model, focuses on the coordinates, and allows extensive ways of customized model export as per the requirements. With BIMDeX, users can export and import models and comprehensive data and use the information for later purposes.
BIMDeX Manager – What is it all about?
Having said this about BIMDeX and its ability to ensure a credible data exchange between various CAD and BIM applications, here is the time to learn about BIMDeX Manager, an exclusive solution from the house of BIMDeX.
BIMDeX Manager is a desktop application developed to manage extensive data that is created by BIMDeX; that is BIMDeX converts the models from various solutions in a BXF file format, that said, BIMDeX Manager aggregates all the BXF files and allows the users for extensive data management, where they can perform various actions in the BIMDeX Manager application according to their requirements.
When it is said that the applications aid extensive model management, it is clear about the abilities. A user can use the solution to process the model before converting the design to the end software. Centralized space allows users to easily access the data, access the targeted models, and perform essential actions to carefully carry the data.
BIMDeX Manager and Simplified Data Exchange
As an eminent BIMDeX (BXF) sourced data management desktop application, the BIMDeX manager emphasizes better and simplified data exchange where the users can perform various actions under one single canopy with a legit version history.
The BIMDeX manager cannot originally assist the user in model conversion but can allow the user to embrace essential simplifications that can stimulate more desired model conversion.
Here are certain impressive attributes that come with a BIMDeX manager;
1. Enhanced Visualization & Exclusion
A user can visualize the model better with the sectioning or hide option before exporting it to the end software. The multi-planar visualization allows the user to visualize and easily exclude the unwanted components and export the simplified version of the model.
2. Geometry Simplification
Complex geometries can be converted into simple boxes/cylinders within the BIMDeX Manager. This aspect of the application assists the users in converting huge designs into simple ones by reducing the file size. By this way, users can reduce the Level of Details (LOD) of the models and transfer only the simplified geometry representation to the recipient software.
Most importantly, BIMDeX Manager saves the original component geometry as well which allows user to switch the Level of details of the components if required.
3. Metadata Control
As the next step of simplifying the data exchange process, the BIMDeX Manager assists the users in editing the metadata and transferring only the essential information to the recipient software and add any new metadata information in the model without making changes to the source model. This preserves confidential model information.
4. Extensive Model Management
It is not necessary for the users to have the source application with them to perform extensive actions as they can easily manage the designs with the BIMDeX Manager. One can update the metadata, model hierarchy, exclusion and categorize the model easily before transferring to the end software. The changes can be saved and reused. Multiple BXF files generated from various software can be unified inside BIMDeX Manager which assists users to generate a federated model.
5. Interoperability
This feature is what many designing communities desire as they find file format compatibility a tedious task. BIMDeX Manager ensures ideal interoperability for users to manage models from different file formats. Notably, the application supports STEP (the most used universal file format) which is used by different vendors from various software applications. With this, the user can easily manage the models worrying less about the file format and interoperability concerns.
6. Multi-tasking
BIMDeX Manager serves different purposes and perspectives. A user can use the application either as a viewer or a QC tool with which they can make changes to the model easily.
Closing Thoughts
Earlier, converting a model from one software to another was way more difficult as there were limitations in translation; that includes missing geometry, metadata, coordinates, and more. This often leads to distorted model conversions. When the industry needed an evolution BIMDeX came up with impressive and impulsive data translation solutions that smoothen the model conversion.
BIMDeX Manager, a desktop solution of BIMDeX enhances it more by providing opportunities for simplified model translation. With the above-mentioned aspects of the application, it is clear that the aimed evolution is here, providing impactful ways for desired model translation. Get your models into the aggregated space and easily manage them with the eminent BIMDeX Manager.
