The BIMcollab Zoom application includes a range of powerful tools designed for checking, analyzing, and working with IFC models. To access these features, BIMcollab users in your space must be assigned a dedicated Zoom license.

With an active license, users can unlock features in the BIMcollab Zoom and access the ‘Checking’ tab in their BIMcollab space.

Administrators can manage the use of company licenses from the Administration page of their private BIMcollab space. This article explains how to assign licenses to users, monitor license usage, and ensure licenses are distributed effectively across your teams.
