要約:The Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology has been applied in distinct sectors of the construction industry with a growing demonstration of benefits, supporting the elaboration of integrated and collaborative projects. The main foundation of the methodology is the generation of a three-dimensional (3D) digital representation, the BIM model, concerning the different disciplines that make up a complete project. The BIM model includes a database referring to all the information regarding the geometric and physical aspects of the project. The procedure related to the generation of BIM models presents a significant difference depending on whether the project refers to new or old buildings. Current BIM systems contain libraries with various types of parametric objects that are effortlessly adaptable to new constructions. However, the generation of models of old buildings, supported by the definition of detailed new parametric objects, is required. The present study explores the distinct modelling procedures applied in the generation of specific parametric objects for new and old constructions, with the objective of evaluating the comparative complexity that the designer faces in modelling specific components. For a correct representation of new buildings in the design phase or for the reproduction of the accurate architectural configuration of heritage buildings, the modelling process presents significant differences identified in the study.
