anyone know if exist BIM samples or examples to download? I mean an entire project and not just 3D modeling. (3D, budget, assembly, details, sections, calc, simulation, and anything necessary for a complete project)

I want to study all specialties. (Architectural, Structural, MEP, and everything necessary)

I suggest you get in touch with Ryan from [http://openingdesign.com/about/](http://openingdesign.com/about/) but if you want everything in open data formats then you might want to ask on [discussion.osarch.org](http://discussion.osarch.org) where we work on creating such a full pipeline based on open data formats.

(if you’re not interested in open formats then buildingSMART forum is the wrong place to ask about BIM)

We’re collecting open data sources on the OSArch wiki: [https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=AEC\_Open\_Data\_directory](https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=AEC_Open_Data_directory) - it includes the openingdesign project files. However, not all are in open formats.

It may be a little tricky, as there are many formats, some more open than others, and some more used than others, which may not correlate.

I found this one a while ago, but I’m not sure if it contains complete projects or just 3D models:
