Issues of Translating BIM for Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) Environments

Naming Objects in BIM: A Convention and a Semiautomatic Approach

“…A primary barrier therein could be an insufficient analysis on the naming-convention segments regarding the practitioners' actual needs. Moreover, naming objects in BIM in a consistent and structured manner often involves extensive manual work that can be incredibly tedious and error-prone, particularly when construction projects nowadays become increasingly complex (Williams et al 2014). This research thus aims to (1) develop a standardized naming convention for BIM objects that considers practitioners' requirements and meanwhile is largely compatible with prevailing BIM standards; and (2) devise a semi-automatic approach to naming BIM objects based on the proposed naming convention.…”
