Free BIM presentations from us to you
Since I started working on IFD and buildingSMART related matters 10 years ago I have made many attempts to communicate the ideas behind IFD and IFC for anyone willing to listen. Some presentations are best forgotten but others as the one containing the “building information circle” (sometimes referred to as the “Holy Grail”) was a success and has been gone through multiple modifications and been used by me and other at many occasions. As we like the idea of sharing here at SINTEF, we have decided to make some of our presentations available under the “Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License”. The first presentation out is one I wrote together with my colleague Håvard Bell. It’s an introduction to IFD and includes the “BIM circle” and several other illustations.
You can remove and modify any of the slides but you must credit the source somewhere in your presentation. Use the logo and company name (as at bottom left, for example) or include a slide somewhere saying that portions (or all) of your presentation are from this source.

Regretably, my browser was unable to locate the otima.no server at the download links in this posting above.
This could have been a temporary problem at the otima server but I could not find any info about down-time in the server log. The links should be OK. Please try again.
Got it this time. Thank you for the reply, Mr. Bjørkhaug.
