BIMrx — "A Suite of Powerful Products for the AECO Industries"

From the Microdesk website:

What would a 16% increase in modeling efficiency mean to you?

BIMrx gets projects out the door faster with modeling, project management and documentation features for leading Autodesk software, making you more competitive globally while meeting the demands of urbanization. This suite of powerful products reduce Revit design time by 50% and are custom-tailored to various AECO disciplines, automating the low-value processes associated with BIM project delivery.

Whether you’re modeling Mechanical, Plumbing or Electrical systems, the features in BIMrx can simplify the process. BIMrx applications can help speed up data entry by using formulas and tools to update models with MEP, fabrication or project parameters from non-Revit users or sources while managing assets by merging model-based information with outside sources. This means your teams spend less time editing models and more time focused on innovating for sustainability and practice-wide digital transformation.

Discover the benefits of making large-scale changes at every stage of a project.

Free BIM 360 Issues for Navisworks

From the Autodesk App Store:

Throughout all phases of the project multidisciplinary team members need to collaborate and communicate with each other. There are multiple tools and technologies that are used to facilitate those interactions from informal / unstructured mechanisms (e.g. phone calls, emails, f2f meetings) through to highly structured and contractual systems  (e.g. cost, change or bid management systems). Most project teams need a system that provides structured, audited and controlled interactions between team members for tracking formal but not contractual interactions, typically referred to as an issue tracking system. 'Issues' can comprise questions, clarifications, notifications and alerts across anyone in the project team. The issue tracking system provides a mechanism to document issues, assign responsibility and view the status of how the issue resolution is progressing.

Frequently the project participant that is responding to or raising an issue will be a persona that is creating or consuming data in a desktop product such as Autodesk® Navisworks®. This persona is likely to receive issues that have been created by other project participants that need clarity on the design content that has been created, and to collaborate with other project team members as they develop their design and fabrication content. They may also use issues to track and resolve problems relating to clash and coordination problems or changes to the project.

Revizto for BIM 360

From the Autodesk App Store:

Revizto is a real-time, 3D model-based issue tracking software for AEC teams that brings ease-of-use and precision to collaboration and BIM project coordination.

The simple yet powerful Revizto Issue Tracker is a cloud-based single source-of-truth platform for managing all BIM project activities in real-time. The issues created in Revizto reside within the X, Y, Z coordinates and not on a single sheet or model which provides an intelligent connection across multiple views and platforms.

Revizto adds a new dimension to BIM that enables teams to have a multidimensional issue tracking and coordination hub, instantly allowing project members to communicate accountability and address challenges in real-time through the whole project lifecycle, to include project inception, design, construction, and operation.

The Documents is a brand new section of the Revizto app. It provides direct access to project files stored on major CDEs like Autodesk® BIM 360®, so users can work with their live documentation seamlessly from inside Revizto:

• View files from BIM 360 inside Revizto
• Add your sheets in PDF format from BIM360 docs and teams to Revizto 2D module
• Attach documents to issues
• Link sheets to CDE-hosted PDFs to see the actual version with no need to re-export
• Make selected documents available offline for on-site work
