Information exchange is the communication of context specific data for dissemination in a certain manner, for example an A3 sheet of elevation drawings prepared to a scale of 1:100. The limitations of traditional 3D formatsĬonventional 2D or 3D models cannot fill this collaboration need because they are focused on recording design data rather than exchanging design information. Standard Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) Modelįrom the perspective of an AEC professional the ideal format is one that can communicate 2D and 3D information that any recipient can consistently view without misappropriating the author's intellectual property.
Central to this collaboration is the 2D documentation and 3D models that visually describe the outcomes of this design process.
With the rapid adoption of the Internet within business AEC professionals are conducting an ever growing portion of their design collaboration online. Unlike pure data formats such as DXF, DWG and DGN goal of a design information exchange format is to provide AEC professionals with the ability to deliver digital building design information safe in the knowledge that any recipient will accurately experience the design in the manner intended by the author.
However things are beginning to change with a battle brewing between Autodesk's DWF and Adobe's 3D enhanced PDF. Unlike many AEC data format categories what constitutes the dominant 2D/3D design information exchange format has yet to be decided. Looking at McDwiff and Project Freewheel got me thinking about Autodesk's direction when it comes to DWF.
