New release: Smart Properties | 09-06-2022

With the new version of BIMcollab Zoom being released on June 9th 2022, Smart Properties are ready to use! With Smart Properties you can easily re-organize and structure BIM data to your needs for consistent model validation. We believe this feature is a game changer for the model validation landscape!

Create your own properties and classifications based on existing object attributes. Or map values from different properties to a single new, user-defined property, to be used generically within Smart Views, Clash Rules or Lists. Smart Properties offer many possibilities!

New prices BIMcollab Zoom | 01-05-2022

As of May 1st 2022, the prices of our BIMcollab Zoom licenses will change.
Over the past years, we've developed our products at a high and steady rate. We are determined to maintain this pace, while still offering free support for all plans. This along with an increase of overall prices, including those of our suppliers, makes increasing our own end user prices inevitable.

What does this mean for you?

The new prices will be valid for new licenses from May 1st, and for existing licenses per the next renewal date.
  1. Personal licenses: 60 EUR per user per month (was 50 EUR)
  2. Company licenses: 60 EUR per license per month for max. 4 users (was 50 EUR for 5 users) = 15 EUR per user per month
For plans with a large number of licenses, a volume discount is applicable.
You can find a full overview of the prices, depending on the amount of licenses on our website.
Consult the article New prices BIMcollab Nexus, for more information about the new prices for BIMcollab Nexus.

Note: The ratio of the price change might differ for other currencies, since we will also actualize conversion ratios.
