Cideon Whitepaper: Efficient BIM Software and the Right Methodology for Smooth Projects
 

BIM is evolving into a key technology in machine building and plant construction. Today's clients demand more than just functional plants; they require BIM-compliant data that can be integrated into digital building models. In this whitepaper, we highlight the advantages of BIM, explain the differences between BIM and CAD, describe the German government's BIM master plan, and provide a practical example of how to implement a BIM environment.
