The interconnection between BIM 360, BIM 360 Field, BIM 360 IQ & BIM 360 Insight

[Anonymous]

Hey there

currently I am writing my bachelorthesis about the application possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI) in the construction industry and the processing of a project.

In the main part of myThesis I would like to introduce some applications which are based on AI to support a construction Project during the planning, execution and operational Phase.
During researches I found BIM 360, BIM 360 Field, BIM IQ and BIM 360 Insight mainly for the execution Phase.

Actually I do have Problems to comprehend the interconnections between those applications. I will list some questions below:

1. Is it possible to use BIM 360 without any other Autodesk appication? Is BIM 360 the synonym for the Cloud-platform  where all Project-documents can be filed?
2. Is BIM 360 Field built on the existing platform BIM 360 or is it necessary to create a new platform to apply BIM 360 Field?
(side-questions: Is BIM 360 Field using AI for operationg? How does BIM 360 Field Support the commissioning?)

3. If BIM 360 Field files all documents and issues concerning a Project, BIM 360 IQ and BIM 360 Insight can Analyse the issues and rate them concerning their critically by using an artificial intelligent algorithm. What exactly is the difference between BIM 360 IQ and BIM 360 Insight? How are they exactly connected to BIM 360 Field?

I would be glad to receive a detailled answer.

If there are any further applications for projectmanagement and the construction industry, I would be pleased to obtain additional Information.

Thanks in advance.

@Manu.Venugopal,

Is there any way I can be looped into this discussion? I too am researching the same topic and would like some clarification on these items.

I haven't received an answer on my questions yet since Manu is out of Office until today.

As soon as I get a helpful respond, I can share it with you!

I'd like to add to this question.
I cannot figure out how to feed equipment data from BIM 360 field back to Glue.

Every source I've found which answers that question says "just enter your data in Field, then use the Revit add-in to extract the data from Glue!"

The problem is that Glue isn't picking up the data from Field.  There's an option in Glue to "share with field".  It works.
There's an option in Field to "Add model from Glue."  That works.  Mapping equipment works.
But how do you share those mapped properties back to Glue?  It doesn't seem to happen automatically.

Thanks
