Having additional control over the model saves time and money and makes
the rapid prototyping process more valuable.

Creating Content for
Building Information Modeling
Building information modeling (BIM) is a philosophy in the architecture, construc-
tion, and engineering realm that is very similar to digital prototyping. Creating a
database with as much detail about the elements and structure of the building as
possible enables it to be built more efficiently, and the model can be used for main-
tenance in the future.
Autodesk ® Revit ® is used to design the building's mechanical, electrical, and
plumbing components. Much of the equipment used in these trades is created
by people who can design it in Inventor. If these vendors can make it easy to
put their equipment in a building design, they'll have a competitive advantage.
Inventor enables these companies to generate this content for their potential
customers.
