BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
• BIM is software that allows interior designers to better produce digital representations of their project
• 2-D plans, elevations and sections simultaneously generate dynamic 3-D building models -- changes made in 2-D are directly made in 3-D and vice versa
• Ability to measure and report areas, volumes, material quantities, and object attributes
• Uses data to quickly create schedules for fixtures and finishes
