| Q: | Solution BIM is a model-based tool that keeps your documents coordinated in a single file. As a modeling tool, representational drawings such as plan and section are by-products of modeling, not separately managed drawing files. BIM is also well suited for making early design decision and iterating in the design, because you can run analysis early and frequently. |
