Learn how to make optimum use of your BIM data using Dynamo to make better design decisions and create feature-rich dashboards using Power BI to track your model s dataKey FeaturesO A go-to guide for AEC professionals to analyze and manage their dataO Explore popular use cases and best practices from experts around the worldO Create efficient dashboards using Dynamo and Power BIBook DescriptionBusiness intelligence software has rapidly spread its roots in the AEC industry during the last few years. This has happened due to the presence of rich digital data in BIM models whose datasets can be gathered, organized, and visualized through software such as Autodesk Dynamo BIM and Power BI.Managing and Visualizing Your BIM Data helps you understand and implement computer science fundamentals to better absorb the process of creating Dynamo scripts and visualizing the collected data on powerful dashboards. This book provides a hands-on approach and associated methodologies that will have you productive and up and running in no time. After understanding the theoretical aspects of computer science and related topics, you will focus on Autodesk Dynamo to develop scripts to manage data. Later, the book demonstrates four case studies from AEC experts across the world. In this section, youOll learn how to get started with Autodesk Dynamo to gather data from a Revit model and create a simple C# plugin for Revit to stream data on Power BI directly. As you progress, youOll explore how to create dynamic Power BI dashboards using Revit floor plans and make a Power BI dashboard to track model issues.By the end of this book, youOll have learned how to develop a script to gather a modelOs data and visualize datasets in Power BI easily.What you will learnO Understand why businesses across the world are moving toward data-driven modelsO Build a data bridge between BIM models and web-based dashboardsO Get to grips with Autodesk Dynamo with the help of multiple step-by-step exercisesO Focus on data gathering workflows with DynamoO Connect Power BI to different datasetsO Get hands-on experience in data management, analysis, and visualization techniques with guidance from experts across the worldWho this book is forThis book is for BIM managers, BIM coordinators, design technology managers, and all AEC professionals who want to learn Autodesk Dynamo to analyze, manage, and visualize their BIM data as well as understand some associated computer science topics. You need to have a background in BIM and knowledge of what a BIM model is to make the most of this book.]]>
