New cloud platform designed to streamline flow of BIM data
KINDAutomatic, which launched in beta this month, aims to streamline BIM workflows by offering Revit users and AEC software developers a faster, more intuitive way to access data in Revit (RVT/RFA) and IFC files — bypassing the need for traditional desktop software.
The cloud platform delivers a ‘comprehensive set of tools’ for extracting, processing, and parsing BIM data.
Through API integration, data can be seamlessly fed into existing software, while custom workflows enable the automation of data extraction.
According to the company, its scalable cloud platform can extract data from Revit and IFC files up to 10x faster than conventional methods.
Users can extract views (PDFs and SVG), Geometry (IFC and glTF), and Metadata (JSON). Files can be viewed directly in the UI, with a full breakdown of geometry and metadata.
Meanwhile, with ‘advanced filtering, users can filter and query BIM data without having to ‘wade through irrelevant information’.
Extracted data can also be pushed to third party tools such as Speckle (for real-time collaboration) or AWS IoT TwinMaker (digital twins).
