could you clarify with an example of a digital production manual and what requirements should be on it?

Good to know Juan, that you find our blog useful. We are happy to help:) I am still in the production phase of BBC. I think it will be ready in June, but I am not sure if I will sell it then or wait until September for release. Always vacation months are rather “quiet”. So I do not want to release in it this period. Anyway, I will keep you informed 🙂 Thanks for the comment, and wish you luck with your project.

Cheers,
Ignacy

Hi again Ignacy 🙂

Your answer was pretty clear, thank you so much!. I am into a coordination of a medium size model but very complex in terms of MEP, so I am implementing this status codes and was passing a BCF with all the elements that needed to be checked as coordinated, but was not sure if it makes sense to be done that way. Now, with your answer, I know its ok.

Again, thank you so much! I am loving this blog. Also, I am looking forward to get BBC, any release date planned?

Hi Juan,
Thanks for a good words 🙂 As you wrote, all SC10 are predefined, SC 20 status is set by each discipline when their model goes through internal check. I worked on projects where there was a BIM Specialist responsible for each discipline who set those statuses whenever their model (part of the model) was ready.

All statuses are set in modeling tool. BIM Coordinator do his check, if everything goes ok, then BC inform BIM Specialist for each discipline to change the Status Code, to a proper one. If there are some elements which need correction then Status Code is not changed and wait for correction.

I hope I clarified it. Cheers

1. Who in the team should set the SC-20 element code? Because as I understand all elements have SC-10 predefined and the SC-30 is set by the BIM Coordinator, is that right?
2. In which software are the codes set? My guess is SC-10 and SC-20 are both set in the modeling software, but the SC-30?

Thank you so much for sharing this information!
