Integration of Lean Con. and Building Information Modelling
with other applications, such as Trimble Realworks, Vico Control, PERICad, Reinforcement List v3.1 and fabricators' ERP
systems. Where this required only geometry exchange, such as between TrimbleWorks and the Tekla model, the DWG file
format was used. Where richer information exchange was needed, such as between the Tekla Model and PERICad, IFC
files were used. Where alphanumeric data sufficed, or where geometry could be described parametrically rather than
explicitly, such as for defining rebar shapes for fabrication, simple ASCII file formats were generated from the Tekla
model. These exchanges are shown in figure 9.8.5.
