Hi all,
I've been running into a BIM problem particularly with painting jobs that require specificity of accent walls that occur differently per client and from which most model-based approaches are too heavy.
I work in interior design mostly so painting and finishwork ends up being a major practice. Most of the time when I'm creating drawings for painting contractors I have a few goals in mind:
1. A schedule of painted surfaces.(each wall surface, the type of paint, manufacturer, code, surface area, etc.)
2. A plan view that tags and locates each wall surface separately to be painted (the tags are mark-based and are filtered in the schedule),
2A. Must be able to tag and schedule wall surfaces to be painted (even split wall surfaces! not just the wall element!)
3. Material to applied with the paint tool via the RTV paint plugin, and for that entry to show up in the schedule. I understand that this has no thickness..but it is data and works best with design process.
5. IS THIS IMPOSSIBLE to do in a fully BIM-operational way??? Or must I just KLUDGE this every single time with my clients and use text annotations like a manic chimney sweeper?
6. If yes to the above question...how many of you would like to see something like this implemented?
I've done research left and right and have reviewed various threads and the only way to do this the BIM way is to create multiple wall types with various paints pre-applied as a infinitessemal finish layer, and then produce a multi-category material take-off schedule. This would be terribly overbuilt...
Thoughts?
Thanks!
