| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 土木工程與防災科技研究所 === 99 === In construction, the current trend is toward applying Building Information Modeling (BIM) for integrating and managing the information of engineering efficiently. Now, engineering consultant company, construction company and architectural company carry on investment research and development on BIM positively to integrate and visualize the engineering information. Moreover, they employ the characteristics of BIM, integration, visualization and parametric design, to reduce the duplicate work and the complexity of interface integration for saving time and cost. Currently, BIM desktop applications, such as Autodesk Architecture, Bentley Architecture and Graphsoft ArchiCAD, can only integrate and visualize information on site. These systems are difficult to get and update information from the other site, so communication and information distribution between the different sites are restricted. Due to the efficiency of visualization and capability of hardware are gradually growing up, the development framework of applications is moving form “Client-Server” to “Host-based”, called “Cloud Computing” technology. In this research, we utilize the concept of Software as a Service (SaaS) of Cloud Computing to develop the visual system for BIM visualization and manipulation. This system can not only visualize 3D BIM models, but also can manipulate 3D BIM models via web without considering time and distance limitation. This system can facilitate to communicate and distribute information between related participants, such like construction site, owner, construction management company and so on, for managing project effectively and efficiently.
