The Inevitable Shift

Since I returned to social media, I have employed Artificial Intelligence in two ways.

As a Google user I have access to Gemini, their implementation of ChatGPT. I use it to summarize research, and occasionally as a “ghost writer” to improve my drafted communication.

I have not delved into Stable Diffusion or any other image generator for the purpose of design. However, for the graphics used to enhance my posts across social media, I have used very simple prompts on Bing Image Creator. “Create an abstract image depicting…”

The reason to learn about AI is simple. And ominous. AI cannot be ignored because in a very short time from now, it will be part of everything we use.

AI in AEC

By
I've made a commitment to facilitating dialog about AI in AECO and to rebuilding the culture of sharing among our local BIM community. There is already so much information and so many choices in the BIM+AI arena that agreement on the “best” solution is impossible. Fortunately, my search quickly guided me to Stjepan Mikulik, a former BIM leader at Bjark Ingels Group (BIG). Stjepan has taken the challenge of making sense of this phenomenon. He has created a free database of AI products for AEC. Sign up to gain access to free information about more than 1200 solutions for integrating AI in AEC https://www.aiinaec.com/ For a jump start, view Stjepan’s discussion with BIMPure blogger Nicolas Catellier on YouTube: The AI Revolution in AEC and BIM with Stjepan Mikulic | BIM Pure Live #072 Here are a few products and solutions identified: DESIGN CREATION Stable Diffusion – https://stability.ai/stable-image MidJourney – https://www.midjourney.com/ Corbu – https://corbu.a...

BIM Planning and LoD

By
For members not familiar with BIM planning, it is the process of developing and documenting the various responsibilities of the stakeholders involved in a BIM project. As defined in the Penn State guide, the stages of BIM planning are: Identify BIM Goals and Uses Design the BIM Project Execution Process Develop Information Exchanges Define the Supporting Infrastructure for BIM Implementation Level of Detail vs. Level of Development The LoD concept was developed by VICO Software for construction cost estimation. Faced with the problem of determining how accurate, or how definitive, were the model elements to which they wished to assign costs, they developed the concept they called "Level of Detail". LOD 100 meant not very definitive (an area or volume rate is accurate enough) LOD 200 assume the number of items in the model is correct, but use an estimate for each, LOD 300 items are identified and actual cost can be used, LOD 400 is a m...
