BIM Enhancements

Supercharge Collaboration with Enhanced BIM Issue Tracking

BIM builds the dream, your CDE keeps it on track. We’re thrilled to announce powerful new features for BIM collaboration, taking your project communication and coordination to the next level! This release empowers seamless teamwork on your IFC models by introducing a robust model issue tracking system.

 Here’s what’s new

  • Create and Track Issues Directly on IFC Models: Pinpoint concerns and improvements directly on your IFC models. Add titles, detailed descriptions, track the status, and categorize issues by type (error, warning, info, etc.)
  • Enhanced Workflow with Topics and Statuses: Organize issues logically and track their progress through defined statuses. Gain clear visibility into issue resolution.
  • User Assignment: Streamline communication by assigning issues to specific users to ensure the right people are responsible for action.
  • Improved Teamwork: Foster an open dialogue and efficient issue resolution through clear issue ownership.
  • Save and Recall Viewpoints: Drill down into issues with pinpoint accuracy. Save specific viewpoints within the model for each issue, allowing you to instantly recreate the exact context when revisiting or discussing the issue.

These enhancements unlock deeper collaboration and a more efficient BIM workflow. Stay ahead of the curve and ensure project success with improved communication, focused issue management, and the ability to quickly revisit problem areas within the model.

Enhanced Collaboration: Real-time updates, clear assignments, and discussion threads keep everyone informed and on the same page.

Multi Factor Authentication

We’re also thrilled to announce the addition of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to our platform, significantly enhancing your account security. MFA requires two or more verification factors, such as a password and a unique code from your phone, for login. This extra layer of defence dramatically reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.

By implementing MFA, you’ll:

  • Safeguard sensitive data and information.
  • Bolster compliance with industry regulations.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to robust cybersecurity.
  • Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your accounts are protected.

Enabling MFA is a simple process, and you can find instructions to configure this for your company using the help guide.
