Features that drive connected design
Design package exchange
Publish, compare, and consume multidiscipline packages on a timeline to see who shared what and when, so downstream teams can avoid unexpected changes.
Automated clash detection
Detect conflicts across aggregated multidiscipline models, turning them into actionable issues to resolve faster and strengthen project confidence.
Advanced change analytics
Track and compare design changes with precision. Establish Watchgroups for automated alerts for faster, informed decisions.
Connected issues
Identify, assign, and resolve design issues faster across teams with clear accountability. Act directly in Revit or Navisworks for roundtrip issue resolution.
Project correspondence
Manage project communications in a connected space to keep design records organized, link emails to project data, and improve traceability.
Project standards and controls
Standardize projects with templates, controlled permissions, design assets, and naming enforcement.
Bridge
Link cloud models across projects and accounts while maintaining ownership, security, and automatic updates.
Insights
Examine key metrics and trends from design reviews and model coordination to track progress, monitor issues, and manage team accountability.
Design Review
Annotate PDFs and drawings in the cloud. Highlight issues, add comments, and collaborate in real time to streamline reviews.
