Digital building models play a key role in the digitalisation of the building industry. In the Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology, geometric and semantic in-formation of the entire life cycle are mapped to a digital building model. This wealth of information makes automatically controlling the quality of the building information possible and essential. Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), the worldwide standard in the field of digital building with OpenBIM, provides the Model View Definition (MVD) method for implementing this automated quality assurance through the specification of the exchange requirements. The progressive extension of the MVD method and the technical implementation by means of the digital format mvdXML led to the fact that domain experts have difficulties in understanding and possible usage of MVDs. This thesis attempts to give an overview of the complex MVD method, its implemen-tation in the mvdXML format of buildingSMART and the integration in applications of different software vendors. Based on the knowledge of the analysis of the current method the aim of this work is created. The objective is to enable domain experts to create an MVD on their own through a user-friendly approach. Therefore, a concept that makes use of the widely established visual programming is presented. The visu-al programming approach is based on a general concept called Extended Imperative Model Checking (EIMC). The concept allows to analyse, filter, and validate data of an IFC model. The utilisation of visual programming is provided in the application EIMC-VP. It employs the imperative query language QL4BIM to interact with a building model. The application is intended to make it easier for the user to create and exe-cute a query, respectively an MVD, in EIMC.     «
