Abstract

While the government policy to fully adopt BIM in the construction sector is being implemented, the construction and utilization of landscape BIM models are facing challenges due to problems such as limitations in BIM authoring tools, difficulties in modeling natural materials, and a shortage in BIM content including libraries. In particular, plants, fundamental design elements in the field of landscape architecture, must be included in BIM models, yet they are often omitted during the modeling process, or necessary information is not included, which further compromises the quality of the BIM data. This study aimed to contribute to the construction and utilization of landscape BIM models by developing a plant library that complies with BIM standards and is applicable to the landscape industry. The plant library of trees and shrubs was developed in Revit by modeling 3D shapes and collecting attribute items. The geometric information is simplified to express the unique characteristics of each plant species at LOD200, LOD300, and LOD350 levels. The attribute information includes properties on plant species identification, such as species name, specifications, and quantity estimation, as well as ecological attributes and environmental performance information, totaling 24 items. The names of the files were given so that the hierarchy of an object in the landscape field could be revealed and the object name could classify the plant itself. Its usability was examined by building a landscape BIM model of an apartment complex. The result showed that the plant library facilitated the construction process of the landscape BIM model. It was also confirmed that the library was properly operated in the basic utilization of the BIM model, such as 2D documentation, quantity takeoff, and design review. However, the library lacked ground cover, and had limitations in those variables such as the environmental performance of plants because various databases for some materials have not yet been established. Further efforts are needed to develop BIM modeling tools, techniques, and various databases for natural materials. Moreover, entities and systems responsible for creating, managing, distributing, and disseminating BIM libraries must be established.

건설분야의 전면 BIM 도입을 위한 정부정책이 실행 중인 가운데, 조경 BIM 모델의 구축 및 활용은 아직까지 저작도구의 한계, 자연소재 모델링의 어려움, 라이브러리 등 BIM 콘텐츠 부족 등의 문제로 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히 수목은 조경분야의 전문성을 대표하는 설계요소로서 BIM 모델 제작시 반드시 포함되어야 하지만 모델링 과정에서 종종 생략되거나 필요한 정보가 포함되지 않아 BIM 데이터 품질을 저하시킨다. 이에 본 연구에서는 BIM 표준을 준수하고 조경실무에서 상용화할 수 있는 수목 라이브러리를 개발함으로써 조경 BIM 모델의 구축과 활용에 도움을 주고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Revit을 기반으로 수목의 3D 형상과 속성정보 항목을 선정하여 교목과 관목의 라이브러리를 개발하였다. 형상정보는 수종 고유의 특징을 표현하되 단순화하여 LOD200, LOD300, LOD350 수준으로 작성하였고, 속성정보는 수목의 품명, 규격, 물량산출에 필요한 정보 외에도 생태적 속성정보와 환경성능 정보를 포함하여 총 24개의 항목을 포함시켰다. 파일은 객체명만으로도 조경분야의 객체로서 위계가 드러나고 수목의 구분이 이루어지도록 명칭을 부여하였다. 이렇게 개발한 수목 라이브러리를 활용하여 공동주택단지의 조경 BIM 모델을 작성하고 사용성을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 수목 라이브러리를 사용하여 조경 BIM 모델을 효과적으로 구축할 수 있었으며 도면 작성, 물량 산출, 디자인 검토 등 BIM 모델의 기본적인 활용방안에서 적절히 운용되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 라이브러리에는 지피초화류가 제외되었으며, 수목의 환경성능 등 다양한 데이터베이스가 아직 구축되지 않아 속성정보에 변수들이 탑재되지 않았다는 한계가 있다. 앞으로 자연소재에 대한 BIM 모델링 도구 및 기술 개발, 다양한 데이터베이스 구축에 대한 노력이 필요하며, 라이브러리의 제작, 관리, 보급 및 유통을 담당할 주체와 시스템을 마련해 나가야 한다.
