19 Why 3D-GIS?? our people and our passion in every project Key Industry Trends Continued trend of budget reductions We need to do more with less Design Build The process requires greater/enhanced communication Software vendors striving for new markets Revit, CityEngine, AMG

20 Why 3D-GIS?? our people and our passion in every project Key Industry Trends The Push for 3D Planning, Design & Construction 3D-GIS Esri s CityEngine Integrating data into a 3D environment

21 Why 3D-GIS?? our people and our passion in every project Key Industry Trends The Push for 3D Planning, Design & Construction CIM / BIM Technologies Production Impacts Collision Detection Design Review Higher quality of the design Production Enhancements & Savings Scheduling Asset Management

22 Why 3D-GIS?? our people and our passion in every project Key Industry Trends The Push for 3D Planning, Design & Construction 3D Traffic VISSIM Automated machine Grading (AMG) Production savings Operations & Management Maintenance Public Safety

23 Why 3D-GIS?? our people and our passion in every project Challenges of 3D-GIS Applications What do I do with all that data? Managing the silos of data Multiple database types GIS, BIM, Access, etc How do I use it? i.e. Lidar

24 Why 3D-GIS?? our people and our passion in every project The Solution Integrated Technologies through 3D-GIS One common database Leverage existing GIS applications to tie information together Continue to use the same tools you always have, just see and interact differently with them. The Hub of Many Databases

25 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look What is 3D??? New Tools fundamentally changing project delivery 3D..aka Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Civil Integrated Management (CIM) Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) Building Information Modeling (BIM)..Integrated Product Delivery (IPD) A new core group to manage the process. The owner Planners and designers Contractors or builders CAD will evolve to CIM/VDC

26 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look The 3D Tool Box New Tools fundamentally changing project delivery 3D CAD MicroStation, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit 3D GIS GeoDesign ArcView CityEngine Other database programs Traffic Scheduling programs Interactive real-time display methodologies Virtual Reality

27 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Benefits of 3D Technologies 3D Design Conflict Analysis Reduces the need for manual checking of 2D drawings Reduces risk and liability exposure Effectively communicates design errors and omissions issues

28 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Benefits of 3D Technologies Automated Machine Grading PLANNING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF 3D TECHNOLOGIES FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION AT THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

29 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Benefits of 3D Technologies 4D Modeling Integrating the 3D model with scheduling Improves Critical Path Method (CPM) Schedule More effective planning and analysis Overall optimization of scope and schedule Identify project risks more readily 5D Modeling Integrating Pricing with Scheduling

30 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Costs of Implementing 3D Technologies Technology Summary Reacting to a change in the planning, design and construction process Benefits but a significant investment Savings during construction phase Planners and designers are being challenged more today than at any other time in past 20- years. Fewer projects are being authorized, the time to completion is being shortened, and corporate America is facing more pressure to deliver more complex projects for less time and less capital. Michael Lingerfelt, AIA

31 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Costs of Implementing 3D Technologies Hardware Issues Increased investment costs $1,500 versus $2,500 Recommend robust systems NOT minimal Minimum recommended specifications» 64-bit processor (highest possible)» 12GB RAM» 512MB NVIDIA graphics card» 1TB disk capacity Reduced capital investment lifecycle months versus traditional months

32 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Costs of Implementing 3D Technologies Software Issues Interoperability Must be on same platform (compatibility issues) No two projects are the same File compatibility issues» REVIT has issues with MEP and Architectural Operating Systems Vista 64-bit requirements Parallel processing

33 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Costs of Implementing 3D Technologies Software Issues Limited Civil Engineering Design Applications Inroads, Civil 3D Architecture Community has more mature applications (i.e. REVIT) Integrating with other databases GIS (ESRI, Arc Explorer) Traffic (VISSIM) Lack of database extractors from REVIT and other VDC applications

34 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Costs of Implementing 3D Technologies Lack of Industry Standards No official established and accepted standards Where do you go for guidance? Key 3Ddevelopment groups National BIM Standard (NBIM) National CAD Standards (NCS-BIM) OMNI Class (CSI) Stanford University - Center for Integrated Facility Engineering (CIFE)» Limited 3D User Groups AIA - BIM - They are out there but hard to identify

35 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Costs of Implementing 3D Technologies Training Significant investment needed Time to learn more of an impact than investment of training class High Learning Curve Anticipate month training period Training required for each segment of a project Training can be completed in phases

36 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Costs of Implementing 3D Technologies Training Availability of Formalized Training 2D vs. 3D Design BIM has good options, CIM does not. Project Three Project Two Project One No Upfront Productivity Gains First project will take significantly longer. Second project marginally longer. Third project start to see benefits (QC)» Most benefits obtained during construction phase» Higher QC leads to fewer construction changes D Design 2D Design

37 our people and our passion in every project 3D Apps A Closer Look Costs of Implementing 3D Technologies Operations Tools Need to be Easily Accessed Data availability and access critical for success» Not just for designers.» Construction Managers et al need access Applications still need to be developed» Immature industry No Standardized Deliverables Lonely 3D Design-Bid-Build Social 3D Design Build
