Component objects are building products with fixed geometrical shapes i.e. They also include visualisation data that gives the object a recognisable appearance and accurate behavioural data, which allows the object to be positioned or behave in the exact way it would within the building construction.īIM objects come in two primary types component objects and layered objects.

The digital description of the building elements includes a combination of technical details, performance information and 3D models which are all created into a BIM object.Ī BIM object is defined as the detailed information that describes the product, and geometry that represent a product’s physical characteristics. The process coordinates a digital footprint for every aspect of the building as they’re developed. It relates to the whole life cycle of a building. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process for creation and management of information throughout a construction process.
