![]() My directors always say ' BIM is only good for new builds when it's a blank canvas and the walls are neat and tidy' but I refuse to believe this as a lot of construction projects is renovation. I would appreciate if anyone can point me to a resource for this topic and to hear how others deal with this issue. The best I have come up with so far is using a Virtual Wall as that has no thickness and still appears in elevations.I would then trace over this with a polygon for the graphics. ![]() I've tried 'lining' each side of the wall which does kind of work but I feel there must be a better way. I've tried using the Create Wall Projection/Recess but it's very difficult to use and only works in very simple cases (I find the geometry changes are using the command). There's chimney breasts as well that jut out but then steps in for the hearth. The wall kicks out in places, there's at least 15 different thicknesses of the wall (and that's only the ground floor). However, I am at a new practice who only use 2D VW and I am putting a case together for BIM using one of our old projects with a measured survey, but the problem happens along the party wall. We always had a dozen or so wall types to represent our survey, usually a singular detached house - some walls are 150mm, some are 155mm, others 120mm and so on.it's tedious but it works. I am newish to Vectorworks but I have used Revit at a previous practice. I have been researching a lot online through forums, I understand most people get a ' BIM Ready Survey' made.but I was wondering how these are produced? I am wondering what is the best way to model existing walls in VW BIM.
