Abstract
Which steps can be taken to enhance the efficiency of the information infra-structure in the building industry? This paper will point out the importance for a shape independent structure for product data. Besides, a more flexible ‘plug-in’ geometry for certain civil engineering objects will be discussed and demonstrated in a case for highway design data.
