... Modern modeling software includes property fields that can be used to embed pay item numbers as attributes to elements in a 3D model. See also Nongraphical Data; Property Audit Date The date on which the quality documentation was audited.
From page 64...
... Design Authoring The process of using 3D design or modeling software to develop 3D models based on specific roadway and structural criteria to convey design intent for construction. Core functions of design authoring include development and analysis of design elements, while the func tions of modeling software include the development of 3D objects.
From page 65...
... See also Spatial Data; Nongraphical Data Industry Foundation A nonproprietary data schema and format to describe, exchange, and Classes (IFC) share the physical and functional information for assets within a facility.
From page 66...
... Typical responsibilities include managing design authoring within the discipline-specific model and implementing quality procedures for the discipline. See also BIM Manager; Model Author Nongraphical Data Data that describes attributes and properties of a model element that do not relate to its physical dimensions or location.
From page 67...
... Rule sets are typically used with clash detection algorithms, where they specify clearance envelopes around specific groups of model elements that would constitute a clash. Saved View A predetermined set of saved attributes including viewpoints, scale, render style, orientation, and object and display settings saved for future retrieval.
