BIM Collab – BCF
For every issue, all comments and resolutions are automatically retrieved from BIMCollab. You can also create/resolve/close issues and comments back to the BIMCollab platform. This creates a powerful visualization tool, where you can combine all your issues and comments together with the contextualizes 3D data. The two-way sync makes it possible to perform a thorough evaluation of decisions when needed.

Geometric control
Compare your as-built against the underlying 3D models. In the video example we display the geometric control with over- and underbreak, to validate the drilling and explosives work for tunnel work. Large point clouds are used to be compared against IFC/landXML files to validate the ongoing work.
Choose your landXML file in the widget “Follow Path” to get started
Groups

When the data is parametric, it is also possible to get additional information such as slope, width, height, area and more.
Measurement 2D
Use your 2D data from files such as DWG to do measurements with 100% accuracy!
Measurement Center Line
Use Center lines to measure the closest distance to any point in the model.
Remember to pin the center line in the measurement tool before selecting another point.
Measurement – Inner bottom, Outer Top
Click on any pipe to get automatic measurements showing slope, slope direction and more. In addtition, you are now able to see inner bottom and outer top measurements.
Measurement Parametric
When the data is parametric, it is possible to get additional information such as slope, width, height, area and more.
Measurement snap
Use the advanced measuring tool of Novorender to snap to corners, measure between objects or entire surfaces and much more. At Novorender we measure using the brep data, so the measurements are always 100% correct!
