dotbim – Minimalist File Format for BIM with Wojciech Radaczyński

The “markdown” of BIM is here
Dotbim (.bim - as an extension) is an open-source, accessible, simple, minimalistic file format for BIM, that will allow you to store geometry and data with it. Dotbim (.bim) was built with an idea of having whole documentation of it on 1 page only. It was made on purpose to make it as minimalistic and as simple, and it possibly can be. Yet still it allows transferring geometries and data attached. Such approach can make a huge difference for the developers of different software. You’d spent much less time on building parsers, importers, exporter, and other tools around it. Think of it as the “markdown” of BIM – the bare minimum, but just enough structure for your content.
Wojciech Radaczyński is a programmer at Designbotic, where he's developing tools for architects.

We must ditch IFC with Håkon Reisvang

We're centered around the wrong information standard
▶️Håkon is convinced that instead of wasting our time, energy and resources on an old and limited information standard, we should dare for newer and better approaches that have the potential to disrupt our industry instead of just improving it a little.
Håkon is an entrepreneur who started up more innovative companies within AEC with the goal to make better buildings. Before this, he worked as a Project Manager.

Since the last mammoth release, we've pivoted from developing many new features towards stablising the necessary workflows for native authoring.
Between the last release and now, two presentations were delivered to two international events: BILT 2021 and CAAD Futures 2021. Creating presentations takes time, and a good week was spent to craft an action-packed, information-loaded one hour introduction video presentation to Native IFC. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it, and share it for those who know BIM, but not OpenBIM, or those who know IFC, but not Native IFC. You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2Rv9iu7yDk&t=1179s
