BIM technologies in the information model development of an architectural object for reconstruction

The cities cultural heritage and historical appearance preservation requires the lost or in disrepair architectural monuments restoration. BIM modeling technologies, that allow to create an architectural object detailed digital model, thereby enhancing the structures reconstruction process is one of the most effective tools for solving such problems. Thus, this article, using the example of creating the information model of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church dome in Budimirovo village (Kalyazinsky district, Tver region), demonstrates how the use of foreign and domestic software systems such as Autodesk Revit and Renga optimizes the historical sites reconstruction. Autodesk Revit implements two approaches – with modeling tools for the basic BIM software and its integrated visual programming tool, Dynamo Studio.To objectively assess the effectiveness of the software solutions, a comparative analysis was conducted based on criteria of usability and the final product quality. The research results allow us to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using software packages and select the most practical tool for solving the tasks of reconstructing architectural monuments with a dome structure.
