EINDHOVEN, Netherlands, Apr 29, 2015 – KUBUS released a BIMcollab BCF Manager for Navisworks. With this add-on one can add full support for both BCF 1.0 and BCF 2.0 to Navisworks. Additionally, it has a direct connection to BIMcollab for issue management across teams and other BIM tools. Issues found in Navisworks can be visualized in BIM modeling tools like Revit and ArchiCAD, since the relevant objects and camera-position are saved as well.
Issues can be generated directly from the Navisworks clash detective and previewed before saving and publishing. Add comments, set properties, milestones and assign team members to found issues. And a simple double-click is enough to zoom to the issue. Visualize all results in a presentation for clear communication.
BIMcollab is a cloud-based issue management system for BIM, based on BuildingSMART’s BCF file format. BCF is designed to support communication between team members about BIM models without the need of sending the complete model. A snapshot of the issue clearly explains the problem, also to non-BIM users like contractors, who can use the browser-based version.
CEO of KUBUS, Erik Pijnenburg: “With this tool we extend Navisworks’ power to find clashes or other issues with OPEN BIM communication to all major BIM authoring tools.”
The release of this add-on expands the number of BIM applications linked to BIMcollab even further, bridging the communication gap between more and more BIM applications.
