3D, concept or geometry?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the 2010s, the building world experienced a revolution in its design methods, moving from 2D to 3D\u2026. In fact, we often speak of 3D to designate a much broader concept of 3D design or 3D object database: In construction, this concept has a name: BIM (Building Information Modeling). BIM revolutionized the world of building design in the 2010s and is expected to continue this revolution in the construction and especially the operation of buildings in the 2020s.<\/p>\n

I like to compare BIM to an iceberg whose tip is 3D. When we present the BIM model of a building, 3D is the first thing we see and its impact is still significant compared to traditional 2D plans. It cannot be denied that the BIM revolution in construction is neither more nor less than that of CAD in the industry more than 20 years ago. However, digital technologies have evolved significantly and make it possible to transform 3D models into impressive tools of realism, fluidity and even immersion. I will show you in this article that to properly use these 3D tools, the real wealth is in fact the submerged part of the iceberg, that is to say the interoperable database which hides behind the 3D objects composing the building model.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Planning ahead, involving future users more closely<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The primary virtue of 3D in building design is that it allows clients to better understand the plans before construction. Normally, the human brain is made to see in 3D and not in 2D. This way, we can better understand the volumes, the colors, the layouts... in short, the first impression we will have when entering our future building. 3D, even in buildings, is absolutely not new and architects have been proposing \u201cperspectives\u201d and \u201cinsertions on the ground\u201d in each building permit for years. What changes, however, is that these perspectives were often created in parallel with the 2D plans. We did the work twice, with the almost guaranteed risk of not having a technically accurate 3D image. 3D images were then too often limited to a few views, and rarely an honest reflection of reality.<\/p>\n

By designing in 3D, we take care of technique and aesthetics at the same time and on the same model (but with different experts!). We are no longer limited to the presentation of a few 3D views which have been worked on by computer graphics designers but we can choose any viewing angle. While 3D rendering calculations could take several hours before the final image, recent video game technologies help us now transform a 3D model into an immersive virtual tour experience in real time. Since we implemented this technology at GSE, we have been able to involve our customers in a much more operational way in the design and choice of finishes. They can visit their future building in virtual reality before the laying of the first stone, better understand and express their needs... We are now measuring a real improvement in their satisfaction thanks to this tool.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Designing complex projects more effectively<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

But 3D is not only a useful tool for \u201cnon-professionals\u201d. As soon as the complexity of projects increases, architects, engineers and project owners also see their interest. In the world of logistics, today we see warehouses becoming real logistics factories with increasingly complex processes. 3D is today almost essential in a good synthesis between the building and the process.<\/p>\n

Our engineers also use 3D tools or rather the interoperability of 3D objects that make up a building model to save time and quality. Indeed, the economist, structural engineer or thermal engineer can now use the architect's BIM model directly to calculate the price, structure or thermal quality of the building without having to remodel it. They save time and reduce the risk of re-entry errors. Not to mention that by working in this way, it is then possible to update the studies in almost real time as soon as an architectural modification is proposed. At GSE, we use this method to reconcile adaptability, competitiveness and very high environmental performance of the logistics buildings we build.<\/p>\n

And we are probably only at the beginning with the appearance of Generative Design, that is to say the automatic generation by the computer of millions of models to find the best one!<\/p>\n

Beyond 3D, especially in the world of logistics where speed of construction is essential, project owners particularly appreciate the 4Paris, mid-22nd century, Carole knows she is lucky. She just ordered one of these items from the beginning of the 21st century, a smartphone that was all the rage at that time. She loves vintage items. She knows that thanks to the teleportation of objects, her delivery will be effective in a few minutes.<\/sup> dimension that BIM can bring. A warehouse construction schedule, usually made up of hundreds of lines on a GANTT chart, becomes a 3D video of the construction. Better than a video, a real 4D model in which you can not only immerse yourself virtually but on any date. The methods of construction, access and delivery to the site can then be better worked on and therefore optimized. Here again, artificial intelligence and certain construction start-ups are starting to offer real modeling of the construction site to find the best possible schedule.<\/p>\n

A digital twin to help you make the most of your building in the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

But 3D or BIM should not stop at the design\/construction of buildings. It is a great basic tool to support building operations.<\/p>\n

For example, at GSE, we now deliver a File of Works Executed in BIM. This does not mean that all the execution details are modeled in 3D: this would probably be too cumbersome for the mobile devices that must be used for operation. But the 3D model is made up of all the 3D objects that make up the building. Even graphically simplified, these 3D objects, correct in terms of dimensions and positioning, serve as a graphic database for all the technical documents in the executed work file. We thus replace the dozens of binders, filled with technical sheets classified by production company, with technical documents digitized in the cloud and accessible through a 3D model on your tablet.<\/p>\n

This concept of a database building , with a 3D interface, thus represents the digital twin of the building as constructed. We can imagine bringing this digital twin to life during building activity by, for example, integrating maintenance operations carried out or by adding data from building measurement sensors which are multiplying with the explosion of IoT. BIM allows this digital twin to be standardized and interoperable with all construction software. It remains to standardize these 3D models according to the operating software. Finally, it will be necessary to communicate these BIM tools with industrial tools, particularly linked to the process in logistics buildings.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, the 3D digital twin is clearly the operating tool of the future. The first pilot logistics buildings are starting to be equipped with them. Augmented or mixed reality technologies hold great promise for making 3D extremely easy to use in the coming years.<\/p>\n
