One of the key selling points of building information modeling (BIM) since its inception has been its ability to facilitate and enhance coordination between the various parties working on complex projects.
Autodesk is now seeking to build upon this capability by applying BIM to cloud-connected mobile devices to improve project coordination, both on and off the field.
Its BIM 360 Glue is a cloud-based BIM management and collaboration service that connects an entire project team together, and provides them with shared access to the latest project data and models irrespective of their time zone or location.
Thanks to cloud connectivity, users can access BIM models and intelligent object data using the BIM 360 Glue app on their iPads, whether they’re in the office or out in the field.
This enables stakeholders to optimize the scheduling and coordination of their activities, as well as streamline their BIM workflows across the full cycle of project development from pre-construction through construction execution.
The service expedites the project review process and facilitates the resolution of any coordination issues that may arise during the course of a complex, multidisciplinary undertaking.
BIM 360 Glue also raises the efficiency of construction layout tasks by working in tandem with BIM 360 Layout to help simplify multidiscipline model coordination and clash detection.
When employed in combination with BIM 360 Layout, BIM 360 Glue enables users to upload…
