ANALYSIS OF THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE CIVIL 3D PROGRAM WHEN DESIGNING THE MASTER PLAN SECTION

Abstract

The article considers the problem of introducing building information modeling technologies (BIM-technologies) into the design process, in particular, into the process of developing the section “Master Plan”. BIM technologies provide designers with new opportunities, help to optimize the design process with the help of special tools and functions. This article provides a comparative analysis of two software products: Civil 3D (a BIM-program designed for the design of infrastructure and master plans) and AutoCAD (a program based on 2D-design). The advantages and disadvantages of the BIM program are highlighted. The main advantages include the possibility of parametric modeling, the possibility of collaboration of various specialists and the almost complete elimination of mistakes. The disadvantages are the complexity of training and the high cost of software products. With the help of flowcharts describing the stages of the development of the earthmass plan, a comparison of labor costs in traditional design and BIM-design was carried out. It is revealed that the introduction of BIM-technologies is a necessary and important stage in the development of construction, which allows to significantly reduce the labor costs of designers with a significant improvement in the quality of documentation and increase the competitiveness of the project organization. But at the same time, an integrated approach is needed, covering all areas of the company's activities, as well as cooperation with other organizations.
