Set up and explore BIMcollab Nexus trial

The BIMcollab Nexus trial can be done from a Free BIMcollab space. 

BIMcollab Nexus is a cloud-based BIMcollab module for collaborative issue management. Integrated with many popular BIM software, it enables users to handle issues directly within their modelling or model checking environment. By starting a BIMcollab Nexus Trial you can access and try all of the advanced features (Ultimate plan) of this tool for 30 days and have an unlimited amount of users to collaborate together in this test period. If you choose to get the subscription for the Nexus module after the Trial, the Nexus licenses become available in your BIMcollab Space.

Set up a BIMcollab Nexus Trial

If you want to do a BIMcollab Nexus Trial, first make sure you have or have access to a Free BIMcollab Space where you can start your trial. 
It's possible you don't have a Free BIMcollab Space yet. No worries, you can easily set that up via this link: BIMcollab's Free Model WebViewer.

Nexus projects

A test project is already created in this space with default values for issue properties and example Zoom resources like Smart Views, Lists and Clash Rules. The test project does not contain any models or issues, so you can populate it with your own models and issues.

If you want to start a new project click on the 'New project' button in the upper righthand corner on the 'My Projects' page. You can use the existing BIMcollab project as a template to bring the issue properties and Zoom resources along. 

When creating a new project, you can define the project's name and choose a personal cover image for the project by clicking on the camera icon on the default image.

When the project has been created set additional project characteristics like the start and end date on the project, invite Team members, and set other properties for the project.

Within the project, team members can have different roles. Project leaders and editors can create, edit and respond to issues. Other team members will act as viewers or reviewers only. Viewers will be able to see all the issues but cannot alter them. Reviewers can leave comments and approve issues but like viewers cannot make any other changes.
