Viewpoint For Project Collaboration is a new solution providing project and BIM collaboration tools that extend and expand the abilities of traditional project management solutions and provide improved communications and collaboration among multiple project stakeholders on both internal and external teams, including owners, architects, engineers, contractors and sub-contractors. Included is Viewpoint BIM Manager, an easy to use browser-based application for BIM collaboration with functionality that permits any project team member to review and interact with 3D models quickly and easily, access and update design specification and project as-built information, as well as attaching tasks and defects to the models without any complicated software or advanced training.
