DigiPara Liftdesigner BIM features
Level of Information (LOI)
LOI information can easily be added by chosing from predefined property sets like COBie and IFC4.
Each relevant component, like doors and hall buttons, has a dedicated set of BIM properties to fill. Many of the property values are preset: For example, values like door width and door height are automatically filled in.
Level of Development (LOD)
DigiPara Liftdesigner comes with a predefined configuration for each typical LOD values 100, 200, 300, 350, 400 and 500.
Moreover there is a LOD MAX: In fact this is not a real BIM level, but it helps DigiPara users to export the “maximum” geometrical detailed model when required, e.g. for visualization.
IFC 4.0 Export
DigiPara Liftdesigner supports the new IFC 4.0 standard.
The IFC 4 export has a perfect data structuring within the IFC file. This is very important for architects and builders. In addition, IFC 4 supports all LOD Levels and contains LOI properties.
LDBIM Export for Autodesk® Revit®
The DigiPara LDBIM file format makes sure that all important elevator components become individual families in Revit. The LDBIM format has been improved in Version 2020 and supports the new BIM properties. This ensures that architects can build schedules around the elevator products.
To access the new file enhancements, the user must update to the newest free DigiPara Elevatorarchitect.
Wall Openings
A BIM model ist the core of an architectural plan and should be accurate and reliable. Of great importance, when planning elevators, is the position of wall openings and air vents. IFC 4 and LDBIM files contain all required openings of the elevator.
These might be door openings, holes for hall buttons, ventilation openings, etc.
For example, this feature allows the architect to safely integrate openings into the building design.
