  • Façade ModelA model representing the building envelope, cladding, glazing, supports, interfaces, and performance-related façade information. Façade Model coordination is important for Curtain Wall, Structural Model, and MEP penetrations.
  • Facilities Management FMThe coordinated management of buildings, spaces, systems, services, and assets during operation. Facilities Management can use Asset Information Model data created during design and construction.
  • Facilities Management Data Lead FMA role that aligns project asset data with the information needs of operations and maintenance teams.
  • Facilities Management Software FMSoftware used by operations teams to manage assets, work orders, spaces, maintenance, and service records.
  • FamilyA reusable BIM object definition that controls geometry, parameters, appearance, and behavior for a class of elements. Family content may include Type Parameter, Instance Parameter, and nested components.
  • Family TemplateA starter file used to create a reusable parametric object with a defined category, references, and behavior.
  • Federated ModelA combined view of multiple discipline models brought together for review, coordination, or analysis. A Federated Model usually references separate source models rather than replacing them.
  • Federated Model ViewerA tool used to open and review multiple referenced discipline models together without necessarily authoring new design content.

  • Field Management PlatformA platform used to manage site observations, inspections, forms, defects, photos, and field workflows.
  • Fire Protection ModelA model representing fire safety systems such as sprinklers, standpipes, alarms, fire stopping, and related equipment. Fire Protection Model coordination is often required with MEP Model and Architectural…
  • Fire Stopping CoordinationThe coordination of penetrations, fire-rated assemblies, and closure details where services pass through rated elements.
  • FormulaA rule or calculation that controls parameter values based on other values or conditions. Formula logic supports Parametric Modeling and predictable family behavior.
  • Foundation ModelA model representing footings, piles, rafts, slabs, retaining elements, and other foundation components. Foundation Model information supports structural coordination, quantities, and construction planning.
