BIM Collaborate

Definition :

• Collaborative and coordinating software design that helps teams manage design co-creation and assess constructability.

Use for:

• Cloud-based document management, project management and advanced analytics
• Design review and coordination, including automatic conflict detection.

Functions:

• Cloud-based document management - Simplify access to relevant 2D sheets, 3D models, and office files in a common data environment.
• Account and project management - Set up and manage teams in one place, with a comprehensive view of access and permissions across all projects.
• Project timeline - Exchange data between teams in design packages, tracking progress across disciplines with dates and content.
• Document approvals and version control - Make sure the project team is always working with the latest models with automated version control.
• Change Analysis - Understand how published changes from other teams affect work in progress, within the context of the entire project model.
• Version comparison - View items added, removed, or changed between versions by disciplines affected and type of modification, in any web browser.
• Added Model View - Navigate contextually between 2D sheets with pan, orbit, walk, and more.
• Automated Crash Detection - Load models to automatically detect crashes and view the results in an intuitive crash matrix.
• Sandbox Coordination Spaces - Explore options, run conflict analysis, and assess buildability against shared models without interrupting the work of other teams.
• Issue Management - Identify and assign action items and centrally manage open issues.
• Connections to Navisworks and Revit - Issues created in Design Collaboration and Model Coordination can be viewed and acted upon in Navisworks or Revit (currently available only for BIM 360 projects).
• Project Insights and Analytics - Take advantage of advanced analytics of your centralized project data, export this data if needed, and use it to identify and mitigate risk.
• BIM 360 Glue : BIM Collaborate includes access to the BIM 360 Glue service, which also covers Navisworks Manage and Point Layout rights.
