Lobbyist Wars and the Development of BIM. Part 2: open BIM VS closed BIM. Revit vs ArchiCAD and Europe vs the Rest of the World





In the first part, we talked about the emergence of the STEP, IFC formats and the creation of the buildingSMART organization. The article also talked about the birth of a new planning tool - the Revit program - and about the new functions given by the developers to the program, thanks to which, since 2010, Revit has confidently become the leader in the design market worldwide.





After the publication of the first part, a participant in the history of the creation of IFC and IAI called me, who survived all these events of the late 80s. He confirmed the facts described in the first part , and therefore, in the next part, he will talk in more detail about the German roots of the IFC format, about the origin of the idea of ​​this format, and also why Nemetschek refused to accept the IFC format for a long time, but then regretted it and bought a Soviet startup Graphisoft.





In this article, we will take a look at where the BIM CAD software market is heading today. What BIM CAD programs are chosen by designers in different countries of the world and how the planning world has radically changed over the past 15 years.
