Most of the surroundings of an object under study will never be described in 3D. What is readily available is GIS, describing the attributes of the environment as well as the physical form. The other GIS-theme is zooming in/out: no one is interested in all the rivets of a city district, and in an early phase of design, no one has even thought about them. How does BIM handle this? Please keep us updated on the progress of your application. Let's discuss this and learn from (urban) spatial planning. You’ve discovered 2 weak spots in BIM, as I see it.
