SketchUp - Fast, Easy and Constructible alternative BIM design workflow
Jason LI, M Moser Associates
Don’t Work for BIM: In this session, Jason will be sharing about utilising SketchUp as the major platform and model authoring environment with peripheral tools and extensions to be more effective and well-connected within multiple stage in workplace interior fit-out delivery, to achieve multi-dimension BIM deliverables at ease with SketchUp, to solve issues before actual building works, and to enhance the communication via visual means to provide insights and valuable help for people.

EASY-GIS Empowers Architectural Landscape Planning and Design to Improve. EASY-GIS (V1.0) is developed by CSWADI, and is supported by Sichuan Province Industry-based Digital Transformation Promotion Center (for Civil Architecture Design) to continue to promote the business of digital products. Currently the development of SketchUp-based environment is completed, the software is aimed for smart city and urban regeneration design to fill-in the gaps in the design process. EASY-GIS bridges 3D design, drone photogrammetry real world 3D modeling, and smart city platform. While improving the quality and efficiency for the design industry, it will help to improve the overall efficiency of the smart city construction. EASY-GIS does not rely on high performance computer hardware, it is easy to use, thus could be quickly promoted and applied for large area projects. At present more than 20 design teams within CSWADI have completed training and project practice. According to the project practice verification, EASY-GIS has 7 major highlights: digital land survey, digital research and evaluation, digital modeling, effective coordination, empowering decision-making, convenient for government investment promotion, and easy to learn.

SketchUp & Trimble BIM full life-cycle solution – fast, easy and constructible alternative BIM workflow. SketchUp is one of the most popular 3D design software worldwide, with 40 million annual users. Due to its simple, easy-to-learn, flexible and light-weight nature, it is becoming an effective BIM tool nowadays. Together with Trimble 3D scanning, Trimble Connect BIM collaboration platform, Tekla Structures, Sefaira performance design, Trimble Creator parametric platform, Robotic layout total station, and Trimble XR10 mixed reality hardhat, and many other Trimble products, Trimble BIM full life-cycle solution could offer a fast, easy and constructible alternative BIM workflow. Especially for interior decoration BIM projects, industrial projects and many more, the new workflow has delivered many successful best practice cases, as well as saved many traditional projects which almost failed.
