So i have very little knowledge of Parametrics and Scripting. i have been reading a lot of threads and it appears that many parametric softwares share the same properties but are meant for very different purposes. one groups seems to be made for practical building application and the other is for conceptual development
i would first like to know what the difference between parametrics vs building information modeling
i would then like to know what softwares are best for practical building application and what are good for conceptual development...
here are some that i have looked at so far but please feel free to discuss about other softwares
revit, archicad, CATIA, maxmsp, virtools, cosm, digital project, rhinoscript, monkey, grasshopper, and generative components
I am not sure what you are looking for, but I can tell you that Revit is the only bi-directional BIM program on the market in which all objects have an inextricable relationship with the database. As a result, all Scheduling and Quantification is automatic and accurate. This is the only BIM program capable of this feat thus far. Are you using freeforms or nurbs?
Although at this stage the work is of greater benefit during conceptual phases of design, the principes and tools have been used through to fabrication and installation on several projects. There is always a transition of tact as the project settles, and the work flow should always be reviewed to identify the most applicable tools/software to use for the tasks at hand.
I know of at least one other plug-in developer working on "BIM" within Rhino, and I hope to make a lot more progress on this front during the next few months. Typical work flows with my software are retaining your information model in your native program (say REVIT), but being able to manipuate the geometry in Rhino (using powerful and flexible capabiity there) and then exchanging the updated geometry back to the original infomation model format.
To date a lot of the work has been focussed on steel frames, but there is also capability in dealing with surfaces, walls or volumes.
Feel free to get in touch if you wish to discuss and review how this might be applicable to the work you're trying to do.
Cheers,
Jon

Hi Hans,
Have you come across the work/reseach I'm conducting in this field?
