Bimsync for Autodesk® Revit® — Collaborate on BCF Issues Directly from Within Revit

From the Autodesk App Store:

Description

The Bimsync add-in for Revit is the perfect tool for projects collaborating in Bimsync Arena. All your issues are synchronized in real-time between Revit and Bimsync, letting you access, share, and communicate issues. The issue format is BCF so that the issues can be shared across any BCF enabled BIM software or platform.

Extend the workflows you know and love from Bimsync into your Revit client.

This add-in allows you to visualize, create, and edit issues seamlessly from within Revit. You can also export and upload your Revit model directly to Bimsync in one click.

Features include:

• Access to all your Bimsync projects
• Filter and manage issues across issue boards
• Create new issues directly from Revit
• Locate issues in your Revit model
• Create a new 3D view for each comment
• Add pictures in your issues and annotate them
• Assign issues to other project members
• Change issue status and other properties
• Upload your Revit model as IFC to Bimsync

BIMcollab® BCF Manager for Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Navisworks® v5.2

From the Autodesk App Store:

The BCF Managers by KUBUS add BIMcollab® connectivity as well as BCF file support to Autodesk® Revit®. It provides the ability to create and modify issues and communicate these through BIMcollab or via BCF files (supports version 1.0 and 2.x) directly from within Revit.

Complete Issue Management Ecosystem 

The BCF Managers are available for other popular BIM tools such as Navisworks, ARCHICAD, Solibri Model Checker, Tekla Structures and simplebim. Together with our web application, these form the BIMcollab® issue management ecosystem which provides an effective way to communicate BIM issues and thereby providing a more efficient workflow.

BCF files support is also included for working with BIM applications which support BCF natively such as Tekla BIMsight, DDS, MagiCAD and many more.

Issues will contain title, description, status, who's responsible, recommendations or suggestions, and whether a resolution has been implemented. Using BIMcollab® will additionally allow you to add area information, milestones, deadlines as well as implement a formal approval process.

All issues can contain viewpoints with camera position and relevant objects. This allows you to zoom-to the issue-location, highlighting the problematic components in whatever BIM-tool you are.

In this release, you gain more control over the view camera and view state and can modify its’ behavior in Revit, Navisworks, Tekla, and AutoCAD.

Free Quantity Take-Off for bimsync

From the BIM 42 blog:

By Simon Moreau
Jan 26, 2019

To spread usage of building models, it is important to provide easy to use interfaces to extract data from these models. Being able to see a model and interact with it is a good first step. The next one is obliviously being able to extract quantities from this model.

My first attempt at creating a quantity take-off system for bimsync assumed that all the models I wanted to analyse will follow the same structure. This was necessary to be able to create a first dashboard and then keep meaningful results in this dashboard as the model evolved. But a lot of models I receive don’t follow a rigorous enough structure to be able to extract them through a Power BI dashboard.

I wanted to be able to analyse less structured models. So, I needed something different than my previous dashboard-based solution.

I looked for inspiration in many quantity take-off systems from various software packages. I took notice of the one from of Solibri, which I found quite good. I also drew inspiration from the pivot table systems available in Excel and Power BI. The main idea was to replicate the principle of the pivot table on a building model.

With these ideas in mind, I drew a few sketches to refine my solution and find the user interface I was looking for:

Free BCF Export for BIM 360

From the Autodesk App Store:

BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) is an open file format that simplifies collaboration between different parties by allowing them to exchange issues data, as well as images, comments, statuses, and model elements that relate to the issue.

This app exports issues data that was added to 3D models (IFC or RVT) in Autodesk® BIM 360® Document Management into BCF format. You can then upload the 3D models into a design tool, and use a BCF 2.1 plugin to import the issues and render the issues data.
