The objective of this work is to automatically extract the spatial structure from Building Information Models for subsequently performing building circulatory analysis and regulatory building code compliance checking. This article presents the model compre hension methods employed, the challenges faced, and the solutions developed. We highlight the conceptual and technical limitations of current BIM paradigms and discuss how they may be improved.
