    1. Introduction

    1.1. Purpose of Document

    The objective of this Document is to assist qualified persons (QPs) indeveloping 3D CAD models to meet new requirements of Building

    Information Model (BIM) submission. It describes the requirements and

    guidance for creating BIM with specific object types, associated properties

    and presentation format to the following regulatory agencies for visual

    processing:

    a. Building and Construction Authority (BCA), Building Plan Department;

    b. Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA);

    c. National Environment Agency (NEA), Central Building Plan Unit;

    d. Public Utility Board (PUB); and

    e. Fire Safety and Shelter Department (FSSD).

    The respective regulatory agency reserves the right to reject and request for

    necessary correction of any required deliverables or formats that do not meet

    the requirements.

    1.2. Scope

    This submission guideline contains a list of requirements written in a concise

    form to guide QPs in preparing 3D CAD models for submission to the above

    mentioned regulatory agencies. It is by no means an exhaustive list of

    requirements of the building works which must be complied with when

    making a building plan or planning submission. The items in this Standard

    Guideline may also be amended or revoked when new written laws come into

    force. For more information or enquiries on the specific submission

    requirements, please consult the appropriate regulatory agency above.

    CAD vendors and retailers have developed their own application dependent

    user manuals. These user manuals should be read carefully as this

    Document cannot take into account all the special features of individual 3D

    CAD or BIM application. For any submission requirements mentioned in the

    Appendices that require customizations to a certain extent, QPs are also

    advised to make reference to the training model distributed or to consult the

    respective software vendor for any enquiries on the application. If there are

    contradictions between this submission guideline and vendors instructions,

    BCA CORENET e-Plan Check team shall be contacted for clarification.

    2. General Requirements

    2.1. Deliverable Format

    QPs are required to submit 3D CAD model or BIM saved in the following file

    format upon submission to each of the above mentioned regulatory agencies:

    a. A single DWF (Design Web Format) file; and

    b. A single BIM in the native format of 3D CAD tools that are IFC 2x3

    certified, including all the standard properties and approved space

    names in Appendix D.

    c. For Major project (e.g. phase condominium development), separate

    BIM files can be submitted for each building. However, a SITE BIM

    file linking all the buildings should be submitted.

    All drawing views below should be compiled in a single DWF file. Refer to

    Appendix C for detailed steps in publishing to DWF.

    a. Plans, elevations, sections, layout views or sheets (refer to

    Appendix A for specific requirements from each regulatory agency);

    and

    b. A 3D DWF model, to be included with other drawing views in a

    single DWF file.

    2.5. Last Saved Model or Last Saved View

    Checking and approval from the regulatory agencies is based on the Last

    Saved Model, together with the Last Saved View of site plans, floor plans,

    elevations and sections submitted. Therefore, QPs are to ensure that the

    following items are checked upon submission:

    a. Maximum extent is saved for each drawing view;

    b. No hidden objects or annotations;

    c. Any link (3D model or BIM saved in other file) that is considered part

    of the submission is bind as a single integrated BIM;

    d. All other external references, irrelevant drawing layers, objects,

    annotations, draft work and construction lines, which are not part of

    the constructed building elements, are to be removed or purged upon

    submission; and

    e. No propriety fonts are used for annotations and all the fonts should

    be legible; and

    f. All objects and annotation in each phase were displayed in the last

    saved view.

    2.6. Model for Re-submission

    The same 3D CAD or BIM model (with changes incorporated to comply with

    the requirements) should be used in resubmission (i.e. no shifting of spatial

    coordinate system in the re-submitted model). The revised submission should

    be indicated clearly in the BIM file name following the format at Section 2.4.

    2.7. Model for Addition and Alteration Works

    For any plan of alteration or addition to an existing building, all the building

    objects or elements should be demarcated clearly by colours in Table 3 (in

    accordance with SS CP83 Part 5):

    Table 3 Colours used for A&A project

    Colour Usage

    Magenta Proposed elements

    Cyan Existing elementsYellow Deleted elements

    Any building works which are to be deleted, removed or demolished must be

    shown in dotted lines on the plans and presented in a manner that can be

    easily identified or distinguished, as shown in Figure 2.

    3. High-Level Modelling Requirements (Optional)BIM is typically defined by a hierarchy of objects that contain the most intelligence to

    catalog the physical and characteristics of design and construction (Figure 3). The 3D

    modelling as practiced in the industry today normally contains only the 3D geometricobjects, which comprises the foundation of BIM, but lacking in a wide array of

    information associated with each of these building elements and systems. For

    instance, walls are created using the applications Wall Tool, slabs using the Slab tool,

    and so on. This section is optional if QP are to submit the BIM model for automated

    e-Plan Checking System.

    Figure 3 BIM containment hierarchy

    This section is not intended to prescribe a step-by-step method to create 3D BIM, but

    to highlight best practices in creating 3D BIM enriched with information of objects or

    building elements.

    In BIM environment, there are a few items that users should understand and

    are advised to follow:

    a. Objects and elements should be created using the designated toolset

    in BIM application. For example, Slab tool should be used to draw

    floor slabs only, but not the walls and columns. In cases where such

    tools are not available, or they are limited in some way (e.g. some

    applications cannot create sloped beam), the BIM user should create

    a generic object that can be assigned the correct Building Element

    type. The ability of BIM applications to manage components and

    spaces with complex geometric shapes varies, thus users are

    advised to work with their vendors to understand the limitation and

    workaround, if any;

    b. For a multi-storey building, the objects and building elements, such

    as wall and column, should be split into level and drawn on floor-by-

    floor basis. These elements should not span more than one storey

    and should be trimmed to the bottom surface of the elements above

    (e.g. beam, ceiling, floor slab, etc);

    c. An empty opening should be cut directly from a complete wall. For

    example, a parapet should have a full wall drawn from finished floor

    to finished ceiling, before inserting an opening into the wall

    component (Note:The typical modelling error is to draw the parapet

    wall up to a certain height without the opening-wall relationship);

    d. Each object and element is assigned a unique identifier, for the

    purpose of information sharing. Thus, it is necessary to include the

    associated object properties in accordance with the approved

    standards and naming conventions in Appendix D;

    e. Objects are defined by their own properties or attributes. For example,

    wall objects must include the interior and exterior property as

    defined in IFC. Most BIM applications will incorporate this, either as

    shared parameters or add-on module, which may require the user to

    set the property value in some cases. Please refer to respective

    vendors documentation for instructions on how this property is set;

    and

    f. In some BIM applications, certain properties of objects and building

    elements are set using layers. For instance, separation between

    exterior and interior walls is done using layers. QPs are encouraged

    to consult their respective BIM vendor about drawing layer strategies

    that will support drawing production and the BIM requirements

    outlined in this submission guideline, and if or how these can impactthe object properties (Note:This section only applies to any 3D CAD

  • 7/27/2019 3D Submission Guideline to Regulatory Agencies

    13/69

    3D CAD/BIM Submission Guidelineto Regulatory Agencies

    Copyright 2008 Building and Construction Authority. All Rights Reserved. 11

    or BIM applications that use layers as the primary mechanism for

    filtering and structuring content).

    3.2. Spaces and Zones

    Space is also a 3D object in BIM and normally represented in plan drawing

    view with a room tag (Figure 4), while several spaces of similar function can

    be grouped to form a zone. Users are advised to follow the best practice

    recommended below:

    a. A naming convention must be used in identifying space object. The

    Long Name field should contain an approved name as specified in

    Appendix D;

    b. The space is typically defined by the inside faces of its bound

    building elements (e.g. walls, floors and ceilings). To align with the

    outer face of the exterior walls (in accordance with URA requirements

    for GFA calculation), users have to define the external boundary lines

    of either the rooms or unenclosed spaces (e.g. balconies and

    terraces), using the special tools provided by the BIM applications.

    Users should consult the vendors to learn the recommended method

    for creating space objects (Note: Users must ensure that space

    object geometry is updated to maintain its alignment with the

    surrounding walls, floors or ceilings, if these space-bounding

    elements are moved);

    c. Spaces should be defined and modelled with a vertical extent from

    the finished floor to the finished ceiling. If the spaces (e.g. balcony

    and terrace) are unbounded by physical elements, the height should

    be set equal to the height of adjacent spaces at the same building

    floor. (Note: A typical modelling error is to model the spaces with

    zero height); and

    d. Spaces of similar function or stacked spaces are grouped for manydifferent analysis and organizational purpose, known as zone. The

    naming convention of these zones should follow the approved

    descriptions in Appendix D.
