BIM & GIS Integration: Smarter Designs, Better Outcomes

A version of this article was published in the Geospatial Engineering publication of Civil Engineering Surveyor. The ongoing shift from more traditional computer-aided drafting & design (CAD) to building information modeling (BIM) tools has launched exciting new opportunities for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.  But for AEC professionals, taking advantage of these developments requires that they have access to the data they need to make better planning and design decisions. Our alliance with Esri is intent on placing data at the center of projects, giving project teams access to this data throughout the project lifecycle – allowing project teams with access to more complete and accurate data when they need it.  Together, we delivered the Autodesk® Connector for ArcGIS (Connector), establishing more integrated flows of geospatial data between GIS and BIM design tools. Read on to learn more about the integration of BIM and GIS.  And discover how…
