N2 - This paper describes building information modeling (BIM) research by students and faculty of the University of Nebraska (NU) Peter Kiewit Institute (PKI) in partnership with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). The objective of this on-going research is to create a virtual modeling environment where architects and architectural engineers can present building concepts and design options to customers in a way that is more easily envisioned by the client. The software used for this research project is Autodesk® Revit, Autodesk® 3DS Max, SAIC's 3-dimensional (3D) virtual world called Online Interactive Virtual Environment (OLIVE), versions 2.4.0 and 3.0, and a proprietary game engine called Unity developed by Unity Technologies based in San Francisco, California. This paper overviews development of a system architecture in which BIM will be integrated with a virtual simulation environment built in OLIVE and research results to date.
