ABSTRACT
With the increased use of technology in design processes, BIM (building
information modeling) tools user’s community has started to develop solutions
through external applications such as plug-ins to automate specific and
repetitive tasks, amplify interoperability and add functionality versatility to
BIM platforms. This paper seeks to evaluate Autodesk Revit platform plug-ins’ state of the art, by means of a
quantitative study of current repositories and the proposition of a
categorization system of the purposes to which plug-ins are developed. Then a
comparison between use and necessity of Brazil’s AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry was done through a questionnaire with experienced
professionals of the area. An analysis was carried out based on the
professional’s difficulties in meeting the
requirements of Brazilian Performance Standard and compliance with
Environmental Certification provisions, underpinning the possibility of using
plug-ins to optimize the design processes under the perspective of performance
and sustainability.
