This paper discusses the current state of building information modelling (BIM) from the structural point of view, incorporating the migration from 2D to 3D solutions. Open interfaces are also considered and how they provide access to BIM information away from the specialist modelling solutions to more conventional software tools, allowing closer design team collaboration. Two case studies are also highlighted to identify the benefits obtained from the structural BIM solution. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
