The Open BIM flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who do not know Cype&#039;s Open BIM flow and the collaborative environment through the Bimservercenter platform, this way of working <strong>allows you to link an IFC architectural model to a web workspace<\/strong>, and be able to link it to any specific OpenBIM program in a given calculation or design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cype.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/Gl_rmIKeCnaLGP2lSU6HaQpc8gmdBLmYgikbJJJnCXKu0gBfdw2atOScJw5AqG3XD3fXCRraEotrcGnHQCGUIe3LcG6lz46ojDaICfxk_vXoQfKR23I2OPKZ8uaaeAVkacd4UPbddYmljOaEuw\" alt=\"OpenBIM workflow in CYPE programs\" width=\"576\" height=\"520\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption>OpenBIM workflow. Fountain <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cype.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.cype.es<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a first step, we must have a <strong>architectural model<\/strong>, either from the internal programs of Cype IFC Builder or Cype Architecture, or from modeling programs such as Revit, Allplan, Archicad...&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That architecture will remain <strong>linked to a project folder<\/strong>, hosted in Bimservercenter that will allow us, in another workflow, to call that architecture to perform specific calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if we want to calculate the building&#039;s plumbing installations we would use the Cypeplumbing Water System, the Cypetherm HE Plus energy certification or the Cypetherm Loads thermal load study. Thus with the more than 140 OpenBIM programs currently developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Revit to BIMserver synchronization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have mentioned, the first step is to <strong>link an architecture to the OpenBIM flow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we have a Revit model, we can use the specific plugin as such to perform said synchronization. The plugin can be downloaded from <strong>Bimservercenter store for free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, it will appear in the Revit external plugins ribbon, with commands very similar to those of any OpenBIM program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/q1PcIpEwNvEB7hz4LEg6MQmBITx4XdWUQlHyM_QkEwhXrTuO5ZF9eVP2Wm5Tij-3KyagH-2M2kj1BkBc2X5avagFnRhhPkYSIoczlhQWEwpJICx1vqHgUVnJXY7tNqTNJIAKIm6f0QOGBPMkQg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"394\" title=\"\"><figcaption>OpenBIM revit plugin<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting the synchronization, it is important to be registered in Bimservercenter and have it open and logged in. <strong>Bimserver.center Sync<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optionally we can create the project folder from Bimservercenter or from the Revit plugin itself<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/oVv5zjDTbadIfHbT3hmnWXKN3S0cZTcw2X9pzUDYybmsaB2czjXnfaCjX_77G8vuCLwPO2FAiEQ1p8ArhlwWpalwWO7pq35BQfaBsB0dDj7l0LoXm7UsnuUVibxmE9FBwfV4AmJ10X9Fh3I4jQ\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"147\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Project creation in BIMservercenter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With all these previous steps we will proceed to click on <strong>collaborate OpenBIM project<\/strong>, and we will link it to the folder created in Bimservercenter or to a new project. During the process, it is important to name the file IFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On certain occasions, logging into the plugin or reading from bimservercenter may be blocked, so it is recommended <strong>restart Revit and Sync Bimserver.center<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all these steps the project will be launched to the server to be able to work in OpenBIM flow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, on certain occasions, loss of reading data or information may occur. To do this, within the same plugin there is a mapped command, which will help us to <strong>better link elements of the IFC model<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Synchronization of IFC file to BIMserver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The same file linking sequence can be executed from any modeling program if we have the building&#039;s IFC file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do this, we will create the project folder in Bimservercenter, and we will use an independent program called <strong>IFC Uploader<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bimserver.center\/es\/store\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/XOFIbTeQ15VUJnY8iW7OekkURejsFriFVbJk-txuPKUo7V03AUbRmyBV12Ke2fJhtfcjR1n9LIWMEqN_ITQoaL9LJvL0vN3UOi9SAMpC0rBL81L-yD5imFwhEIetI4012jRnPH5ZgxVPYQ-AnQ\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"107\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption>IFC Uploader Plugin.

With this we can also work with any IFC file within the same OpenBIM flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This post has been prepared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sfdez\/?originalSubdomain=es\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sebastian Fernandez<\/a>, Industrial Engineer and Technical Director aBIMa Engineering of our <a href=\"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/master-bim-installations\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Master in BIM and Efficient Energy Management<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this post we teach you how to synchronize Revit model to BIMserver.center and thus be able to carry out any type of dimensioning or calculation of Cype&#039;s OpenBIM programs. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":29323,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-ingenieros"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29297\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eiposgrados.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
