Abstract

The use of BIM objects that include standardized information is a key aspect of the BIM methodology. This information supports the different actors involved in the development of projects in the execution of various BIM uses, which are generally defined by the BIM execution plan. These BIM uses cover a wide range of fundamental areas in the development of projects such as phase planning, cost estimation, scheduling, energy analysis, 3D coordination and facility management. These BIM objects are commonly made available by BIM object libraries, which are generally accessible through web platforms or plugins developed for BIM modelling software. This document details the development of a conceptual model of a BIM object library based on standards related to data structures and good practices identified in other BIM libraries available on the market. The document also includes a detailed description of the development of a plugin for Autodesk Revit, connected to the BIM library's database, which provides a set of features related to the import, update and export of BIM objects. The plugin implements one of the good practices identified, which consists in the separate treatment of BIM objects and their non-geometric data. This method offers users greater flexibility during the process of data selection by allowing them to select exactly which data they desire to add to the BIM objects.
