For example, they automatically adapt to the scale. To harness the advantages provided by using these “intelligent” building elements – that is, their inherent information described by properties and attributes – in the entire building process, Nemetschek AG has developed an appropriate object-oriented in-terface known as Nemetschek Object Interface (NOI). These object-oriented developments are able to revolutionize the future of the construction industry by providing a seamless IT connection to downstream applications such as programs for tendering, ordering and billing, which have access to the intelligent, objectrelated data provided by the building model.
