Case Study: GHD Pty Ltd achieves accurate geometry replication with 12d Model and Revit from 12d Solutions

GHD Pty Ltd - Customer Case Study

GHD Pty Ltd, a major engineering firm, faced significant challenges in integrating their civil design data from 12d Model with Autodesk Revit for BIM projects. Their previous methods, which involved complex processes with 3D CAD, custom generators, and Dynamo scripts, were lengthy and often resulted in limited, static information being transferred, making collaboration difficult.

The solution implemented by 12d Solutions utilized the IFC Express Writer within 12d Model to export data via the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) format. This process, which included specific steps to adjust the coordinate origin and map 12d elements to correct Revit categories, enabled an accurate replication of geometry without remodeling. The result for GHD was the ability to gain accurate, up-to-date information directly in Revit, which improved collaboration and allowed them to produce better-detailed designs for their clients more efficiently.
