Correct Answer
C. It is more simple to use than CADExplanation
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process that involves creating and managing digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a building. It provides interference control by identifying clashes and conflicts between different building elements. It automatically generates schedules by extracting data from the digital model. It generates 3-D drawings to visualize the building design. However, it is not necessarily more simple to use than Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, as BIM requires a more comprehensive understanding of the building design process and the software itself.Rate this question:
