Can someone explain to me why granularity is critical to BIM? I am doing a presentation with a lawyer and she contends that one of the problems with BIM is granularity. I understand that it has to do with the detail of an object and that perhaps your dimensions could get screwed up switching between different bim platforms. That, however, seems to me to be an issue of interoperability. I have not been able to produce a Revit file that has been compromised because of granularity. Is this still an issue or has it been figured out?thanks for any input.

I don't know what she means by "problem" with granularity.  I think you need to have her define what the problem is.

 

The degree the model is definedand, and therefore broken down into components, will be dependent upon the programs abilities, the operators abilities and needs as well as the limitations of the computer system it is used on.  

 

We have different projects that have different levels of "granularity" but I don't know how that can be called a problem.

I'm meeting with her on Monday and will ask her for a better definition. I'm wondering if she just read about it somewhere and that maybe it was an issue with older BIM software.  The example she gave me was when a complex geometry ( a curved wall) was built that the granularity of the object could be affected by displaying an irregular shape that was a misrepresentation of the design intent.
