BIMcollab-Verifi3D link means ‘all project stakeholders from the field to the office can participate in issue tracking and resolution.’
BIMcollab and Xinaps have developed a link between their products – Xinaps Verifi3D and BIMcollab – to integrate issue management and model checking in the cloud.
BIMcollab is designed to manage issues during the design and construction phases where BIM is used. Verifi3D provides designers and general contractors with tools to validate their BIM data, automate hard clashing checks and mitigate risks during the model checking process in real-time.
According to a Xinaps spokesperson, bringing these two workflows together helps bridge the gap between BIM tools and targets the multidisciplinary cooperation between companies working on construction projects.
With the new link, issues found with the Verifi3D Model Checker can be published to BIMcollab in real-time. The BIM modeller will be automatically notified and can immediately locate the problematic objects in their BIM Model, whatever the authoring tool (Revit, ArchiCAD, etc). Once a solution is found, a simple click allows the issues to be reported and resolved.
“We’re excited to announce a new integration that makes the model coordination and the issue tracking process easier and more efficient for everyone. By using the integrated processes of BIMcollab and Verifi3D, all project stakeholders from the field to the office can participate in issue tracking and resolution throughout the project life cycle,” says Frank Schuyer, CEO of Xinaps.
“Model coordination may now become a full-team effort, providing accessibility to team members who have little or no experience with data validation software and processes.”
