Tiivistelmä
The objective of the study was to examine problems encountered when using BIM during the project cycle, if it became necessary to change the software, and to test and describe re-engineering process variants. The practical part is carried out through the example of bridge models in Autodesk Revit and Tekla Structures. In addition, another goal was to review cloud-based platforms for using BIM: Trimble Connect and Dalux.

Although IFC is considered as the main format for interoperability between different software applications, it is still unstable in many cases. This work showed that for such often geometrically complex structures as bridges and, therefore, modeled in most cases with non-standard tools, acceptable transfer of information from one software to another through the considered format is impossible. In this regard, an alternative solution was the use of 3D dwg format. Nowadays there is a rapid development of BIM tools. The construction industry is becoming more advanced in sense of information technologies: any application can be customized through using API, augmented and mixed reality is no longer an unreal future, nowadays it finds application on a construction site.
