Model tab in a BIMcollab Space
A BIMcollab space is a platform that offers an array of online model viewing features, allowing users to seamlessly navigate through intricate models, analyze properties, and address issues efficiently. In this article, we will delve into the three available model viewing options: BIMcollab Model WebViewer, Autodesk Docs integration, and Trimble Connect integration.
1. BIMcollab Model WebViewer
The BIMcollab Model WebViewer stands as a powerful tool for users seeking a streamlined way to view IFC models, gain insights into their properties and addressing any issue that arises. In the Navigation tab, a project leader can load models to the BIMcollab Model WebViewer. Other members of the team then can view the models and work with various available features. The BIMcollab Model WebViewer is free for everyone to setup for your company or project.
2. Autodesk Docs Integration
The integration with Autodesk Docs opens up additional possibilities for users, allowing them to view models directly from an Autodesk Docs folder, create new issues, and evaluate existing issues within the BIMcollab web application. This integration is available in Premium and Ultimate plans and it can be tested on Nexus Trial for 30 days or on Essential plans for a Trial period of 4 weeks.
Two ways to set up the Autodesk Docs integration
a. Use Autodesk Docs as your Common Data Environment (CDE) and view models in BIMcollab with the integrated BIMcollab Model WebViewer. (Soon to be available.)
b. Use Autodesk Docs as your CDE and view models in BIMcollab using a mirror from the Autodesk Docs viewer (Forge viewer).
3. Trimble Connect Integration
The Trimble Connect integration provides users with the ability to view models from a Trimble Connect platform, create and assess issues directly from the BIMcollab web application. Similar to Autodesk Docs integration, this integration is available in Premium and Ultimate plans and it can be tested on Nexus Trial for 30 days or on Essential plans for a Trial period of 4 weeks.
