Popis: Three-dimensional imagery derived from a building information model (BIM) based virtual prototype can be used to non-verbally communicate constructability information. This paper describes an assessment of using instructive pictographs to characterize prefigured assembly information for construction assembly procedure. It employs industry-recognized virtual prototyping software to model the assembly configuration of a real world mobile test laboratory. The findings of the research show that virtual prototyping as an nd-BIM technology has the potential to better integrate architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) information to project delivery with user-specific constructability knowledge.
