New: BIMcollab® BCF Manager for Navisworks

Share clashes found in Navisworks via BIMcollab to Revit or ArchiCAD

Eindhoven, Netherlands April 23 2015 – Today KUBUS released BIMcollab® BCF Manager for Navisworks. This add-on provides 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 tools like Revit and ArchiCAD, since the relevant objects and camera-position are saved as well.

• Issues can be generated directly from Navisworks and previewed before saving and publishing.
• Comments can be added, properties and milestones set, and found issues can be assigned team members.
• A simple double-click is enough to zoom to the issue.
• All results can be visualized 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, to both BIM users and 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.
