Our new BIM viewer is amazingly fast

In a pilot for the largest Dutch project developer we were confronted with a number of very large models, made by renowned architects in Autodesk Revit. The corresponding IFCs are many hundreds of MBs. Until recently, it took over a minute to load these models in our BIM Viewer. That's not acceptable for end users. Reason for IRP to start a research project that yielded an initial result in March 2018. It seems possible to speed up the process ten to twenty times !! 

We are not there yet; meaning that not everything works smoothly. However, in 2020 we tackled all these problems. The first results were so amazing that we wanted to share them with the world earliest. 

To make the difference clear, we used one model (Raaadhuis Amsterdam). We reduced the speed of loading an showing in 3D on a map from over a minute to less than ten seconds. Please note: this is already quite a big model, with 17 small hops and some 50 apartments (above the shops).

IRP bases all of its web development on the ISO 19650 standard for the development and full lifecycle of buildings. Formerly known as the BSI 1192-X. This standard has now been almost fully implemented in BIMkeeper.
