This is a list of items that you should know before making the switch:
- Whoa! That file is large: The typical project file size can be 35+ MB, which can cause issues when emailing and sharing documents with others.
- Where’s my training?: BIM software is unlike traditional CAD programs and will require additional training for your entire CAD staff to be proficient with the software.
- Mutiny in the ranks: Your current employees that have been using 2D CAD software for years will most likely not be very receptive to changing the way they are designing and delivering projects.
- Upgrade?: There might be a need to increase your hardware setup and design processes.
- Test it out first: Before making the switch, you should explore the software with a test project and determine the pro’s and con’s.
