Modelo – Online Model Viewing, Collaboration and Quantity Takeoffs

From the Modelo website:

View, Collaborate, and Markup 3D BIM Properties & Elements from Revit

Lightning Fast 3D Quantity Takeoff Calculations 

January 17, 2018

Modelo supports your complete design-build-manage process by with a robust, collaborative online BIM tool. Modelo automatically imports BIM properties and elements from compatible Revit files. By predictably, productively and profitably connecting workflows, utilizing BIM in Modelo permits team members to more completely navigate models, conduct lightning fast 3D quantity takeoff calculations and analyze sectional material volumes, mark-up the design with their comments, and digitize their construction sites and processes – all in an online tool accessible from any device.

Collaborating on Building Information Modeling projects is made easy in Modelo. The online 3D BIM tool allows users to quickly calculate the volume of materials required, construction costs, or any other number of construction-related calculations. These estimates can then be recorded and shared through Modelo and any construction issues that are foreseen in the design can be marked up directly on the design in the browser and addressed prior to construction beginning.

Revizto Version 4.3 Released

From the Revizto website:

It’s official: Revizto 4.3 has arrived!

Welcome to Revizto 4.3, available now for update and installation! We’re starting the year with some very exciting additions and improvements that we can’t wait for you to try.

What’s new in Revizto 4.3:

• Extended project rights management system*: From now on, you can manage user access for each basic operation separately (e.g. append/edit 3D, edit issues, append/edit sheets, etc.)
• Standalone Export Scheduler Application: This new app is designed to help you keep track of export process and see the status of all your export operations scheduled.
• Paste screenshots into the Issue Tracker feed: Cropping and marking up included. Simply press Ctrl+V.
• Ability to create issues based on multiple selected objects: Use Ctrl+click to select several objects in the scene. Based on this multiple selection you can create an issue, which you can further track in Revit and Revizto.
• Improved location of issue pins for clashes: Now, issue pins are placed directly inside clashes, making it easier to understand their positions both in 2D and 3D.
• Pen tool for markups: Customize your markups by easily drawing free hand using the new Pen tool.

Bluebeam Teams with Microsoft on Surface Studio for AEC Workflows

From Bluebeam's STRXUR website: 

Microsoft and Bluebeam Team Up to Optimize AEC Workflows

MEET THE MICROSOFT SURFACE STUDIO AND THE SURFACE DIAL—THE LATEST TOOLS PROVIDING ENHANCED WORKFLOW SUPPORT FOR THE AEC INDUSTRY.

The release of the Microsoft Surface Studio and the Microsoft Surface Dial marks the culmination of a collaboration between technology giant Microsoft and Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) solutions leader Bluebeam, Inc. Called on by Microsoft to develop new solutions based on the Microsoft Surface Studio platform, Bluebeam development specialists began working to highlight the strengths of the new hardware and combine them with the efficiency of Bluebeam software within the AEC project-based marketplace.

“Collaboration is critical to succeeding within the AEC industry, and when fully enabled with comprehensive digital solutions, it can push the limits of project performance,” explains Bluebeam President and CEO Richard Lee. “To enhance our solutions further, our Innovations team worked closely with Microsoft to create an integrated platform that will further improve project productivity across the industry.”

Articulating screen? Yes please.

The Surface Studio’s display adjustment ability, which allows a user to work on the device like a tablet, provided Bluebeam Principal Engineer Peter Noyes with an opportunity to create a device integration that would take the user-friendly experience of Bluebeam Revu to the next level. “We were involved early on to collaboratively develop an integration to help bring this new technology to the AEC industry,” says Noyes. “Being brought in early allowed us the freedom to put a couple of different iterations into our development.”
