An Overview of Building Information Modeling Libraries

Abstract

Civil engineering industry is an industry that uses digital modeling tools to increase efficiency. One of the main tools for supporting automation in civil engineering industry is Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives engineering professionals the tools to more efficiently design. One of the ways for increasing productivity and effectiveness in model creation is to create standards called BIM objects. BIM Objects are digital descriptions of products and materials. The paper is focused on the overview of the Building Information Modeling Libraries. BIM Library represents central database of BIM Objects. All the library's components are created in accordance to relevant regulations and standards.
