This is mainly because it involves a work approach that optimizes the use of available information and resources allowing to speed up and increase the productivity of the professional roles interested in a given project. All this is mainly due to the immediacy with which, thanks to digital technologies, we can get the main basic information about each individual object and, if necessary, change them just as quickly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"working-with-bim-design-software\">Working with BIM design software<\/h2>\n<p>In a BIM software, the conditions to create a single project in the shortest time possible and in the most reliable manner, are determined by the complete management of the building levels and room personalization. In particular, let&#8217;s take a look at how to input the floor slabs, define the room or compartment characteristics, manage the various levels by setting the elevation heights and copy items from one floor to another using a BIM software for architectural design such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/3d-building-design-software\"><strong>Edificius<\/strong><\/a> by ACCA software.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"defining-rooms-and-levels\">Defining rooms and levels<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start off by drawing a floor slab.
