Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method for generating a BIM geometry breakdown structure. The system includes a geometry breakdown system (GBS) range setting module, a GBS geometric object coding module, and a GBS geometric object coding module. The GBS range setting module sets the range of a GBS based on BIM framework variables. The GBS element definition module generates “standard information breakdown property information” that is used to manage work-type breakdown and location breakdown, “project numbering system (PNS) property information” that is used to manage a work breakdown system (WBS), a cost breakdown structure (CBS), and a standard-method-of-measurement (SMM) breakdown structure (MBS), and “GBS property information” that is used to define geometric information. The GBS geometric object coding module matches geometric objects to the “standard information breakdown property information” and the “PNS property information”, and assigns numbers corresponding to the “GBS property information” to the matched geometric objects.
