Model viewer improvements for on-site usage

Model viewer improvements for on-site usage

Using BIM models on site for execution of a project is becoming the standard way of execution. BIM kiosks and tablets have replaced 2D drawings. This requires some upgrades for the current BIM model viewer:

  • Allowing BIM model aggregation from a blank canvas or multi-selection of files
  • Easy possibility to save a view (including hidden objects, measurements, 3d text annotations, coloring) in order to prepare for a meeting or to prepare instructions for team members.
  • Including the data-table in the model viewer in Docs to efficiently use the object's information (e.g. casting sequence) to use (filter, sort, visibility) the BIM model(s) on site for execution
  • Improving the measurement tools within the viewer (e.g. snap to surface for perpendicular measure, snap to lines, improved visualization,...)
  • Adding the integration of point-clouds to enable comparision with site context

Those improvements will allow users on site stay within ACC and use the integrated viewer for execution.

The only mobile model viewer that ever worked well and was useable in a construction space was B360 Glue, and B360 Field Classic. They got it right ONCE and took it away.
