BIM, GIS and Carlson Software
This webinar is presented by Felicia Provencal, and was originally broadcast on July 9, 2009;
This webinar is for those who have been asked or anticipate being asked to "BIM" a civil project -- to essentially design and deliver a dynamic, 3d model of the entire project. Provencal will show that creating a dynamic 3d model for a Civil project (or "BIM"ing a civil project) is not limited to using a particular software program. And, she will illustrate how the term GIS -- geographical information systems -- still applies to attaching data and other information to objects, which allows management of the facilities after being built.
Learn how you can be assured that your designs will be ready for management once construction is complete with Carlson, a civil engineering design software that allows you to design to specific criteria, is able to show a great visual representation of all the components of your project in 3D view and is able to dynamically reflect changes. Attend this webinar and soon you'll be able to "BIM" along with the rest of the world.
