Unclassified David Colleen – AEC & Convergence

Working With Standards

• Web 3D Consortium – www.web3d.org
• Digital Earth with SRI – www.geovrml.org


The Fox in the Hen House
The AEC industry has been presented with a
number of revolutionary concepts that promised to
increase both profit and productivity. Often these
big ideas were marketing driven and did not map
well into real world needs.

1986 – “Smart Buildings”
1988 – CADD / Cost Estimating
1990 – 3D Solids Modeling / CADD


How Do We Avoid These Problems?

• Begin by Understanding the User Work
Process
• What is Their “Pain”
• How Can Standards Help?
• Develop Use Cases
• Develop Best Practices
• Educate
• Evangelize


Goal of This Presentation

This presentation will provide a high-level overview
of the production process used by Planet 9 Studios
to create high-fidelity geo-referenced X3D BIM
models of waterside facilities for the WSS AT/FP
Project.

• MCAS Miramar
• NAS North Island (rough)
• NAVMAG Indian Island
• NAVSTA Bremerton
• Pearl Harbor
• Port Hueneme (rough)
• SUBASE Bangor
• Washington Navy Yard
• Yokosuka, Japan
