Building Efficient Digital Twins in the Construction Industry
Blog
This article provides a step-by-step guide for converting BIM (Building Information Modeling) 3D models from Autodesk Revit into AWS IoT TwinMaker digital twins for construction industry applications.
- Digital twins improve construction design, site management, and building operations efficiency
- AWS IoT TwinMaker requires glTF/glb format; direct BIM import is not currently supported
- Use Autodesk Platform Services API and VSCode extension to convert Revit files to SVF format
- Convert SVF to glTF using APS tools, then convert glTF to glb binary format
- Import glb files into AWS IoT TwinMaker workspace resource library and scenes
- Integrate with Grafana dashboards to display sensor data from building installations
This guide enables construction professionals to leverage existing BIM assets in AWS IoT TwinMaker for digital twin creation and building management.
