Development of Application for Generation of Automatic 2D Drawings based on openBIM

This paper describes the development of an automated stand-alone application for generating 2D drawings using information from an IFC file, independent of existing BIM authoring tools. Using the application described in this paper, plan, section and elevation drawings can be extracted with no additional effort. The approach described in this paper, which is based on openBIM technology, will have a strong impact on the construction process especially from the perspective of enhancing productivity by providing a trade-off between conventional and new approaches.
