Abstract Underground pipeline networks constitute a major component of urban
infrastructure, and thus, it is imperative to have an efficient mechanism to manage them.
This study introduces a secondary development system to efficiently model underground
pipeline networks, using the building information modeling (BIM)-based software Revit.
The system comprises separate pipe point and tubulation models. Using a Revit application
programming interface (API), the spatial position and attribute data of the pipe points are
extracted from a pipeline database, and the corresponding tubulation data are extracted
from a tubulation database. Using the Family class in Revit API, the cluster in the self-built
library… More >
