With the development and popularization of BIM, the technical application of BIM in the design and construction stages has gradually matured.
Nowadays, the data dimensions of BIM applications have increased, the data volume has become larger, and the interactive functions have become more complicated. The workload of business visualization has risen sharply. Affected by repeated development of business charts and heavy data joint debugging work, the scalability of BIM business in the operation and maintenance phase faces many difficulties.
In addition, too many companies have complained to us about the following three major business problems :
1. How to reduce the cost of operation and maintenance system through standardized software?
2. How to implement the solution design to the expansion of BIM operation and maintenance capabilities based on the platform, realize the efficient development of customer resources, and increase the company's revenue?
3. How to accumulate the operation and maintenance data of existing projects and avoid historical problems in new projects?
We found that as long as we "take another step" on the basis of the renderer , that is, provide convenient and friendly data access functions in addition to satisfying the basic scene editing functions, the "data pain" of the industry can be greatly alleviated .
In the recent update version of CIMPro, through the efficient interaction method and ability of components and data, and the re-layout of the operation interface, the upgrade iteration of the BIM visual development link has been significantly shortened from 0 to 1. The construction cycle , and the iterative cycle of the project implementation phase , aiming to bring users a more friendly and richer interactive development experience.
At the same time, according to market demand and user feedback, while upgrading product functions, we also reorganized the product line of Piaoshi and adjusted the overall pricing of the product, which will be announced at the end of the article.
01
Perfect linkage of data, business and model
Maximize the value of BIM
The BIM model is implemented in the entire life cycle of design and construction. Building a BIM operation and maintenance system can scientifically manage the building space, equipment assets, etc., prevent disasters and accidents, and reduce operation and maintenance costs.
However, joint debugging of front-end and back-end has always been the most uncontrollable link in the project development cycle . From untimely document definition to frequent changes of interface fields, or the actual interface and documents are not synchronized in time, etc., every front-end The personnel are miserable.
CIMPro focuses on one-stop development of the whole process. Developers can complete simple data access work by obtaining corresponding data from PiAdmin . The method is as follows.

The fifth step is to select the appropriate encoding type and paste it to the [Video Stream] on the interface.
02
Integrate low-code editing interaction
In order to realize more complex interaction logic, the low-code development mode is integrated into the UI designer this time. Users who are accustomed to code development can also implement rich interaction settings and set complex interaction events with multiple conditions in a familiar development environment according to the API instructions in the "User Manual" . Click the [Edit] button next to the basic event to enter the low-code development mode.
For users with no code experience, they can still design interaction events through a simple low-code mode, as follows.
The first step is to click the component on the canvas, or click the layer button in the upper left corner of the interface to select the component. Click the [Event] button in the upper right corner of the interface, and click [Add].
The second step, here we take the client event as an example, select [Client Event] in [Event Behavior]. Select the specific interaction content in the client behavior, and then set the interaction details according to the prompts, click the [Save] button in the upper right corner, and click [Preview] to view the interaction effect.

custom template
Precipitate all creative achievements
The traditional 3D visualization development process requires the cooperation of prototype, design, front-end and back-end.
Although some work products can support the rapid implementation of the project, the overall process of the visual operation and maintenance system is fragmented. Most of the work content needs to be manually sent or uploaded to the collaboration platform for sharing, which cannot be carried out in a unified development environment.
CIMPro provides users with a closed-loop platform from basic scene editing, to massive data access, to digital-analog interactive development. From planning to design, from front-end to back-end can be easily realized in one platform.
On the one hand, after accumulating a large number of digital twin BI chart cases under subdivided industries, Pleasure has formed a reusable industry template to provide design reference for product managers.
