Flexibility as a rule!

When utilizing Issues within Newforma, it is essential to use ifc models. Its restriction to upload rvt or nwc models to Newforma or connect to a CDE is impeditive to have a smooth and efficient workflow.

In BIMWorkplace, users regain their autonomy, enabling them to store models either on their desktop or in a CDE. Furthermore, models can be sent to the BIMWorkplace viewer through three methods: a Revit plugin, direct upload via the cloud, or by connecting our app to Autodesk Docs. And we do accept IFC, Revit and Navisworks models.

Frustrated with sharing issues via Newforma Konekt, only to discover that colleagues struggle to understand or locate the problem in the web application? This frustration often arises from Newforma’s limited ability to effectively isolate or hide elements in the web viewer, as well as its inability to accurately retain saved viewpoints. Newforma relies on pinpointing the issue’s location with a pin, but often, understanding its precise location can be challenging.

In contrast, BIMWorkplace offers advanced viewpoints for topics, storing information according to the BuildingSmart standard. Consequently, hidden or isolated elements are preserved, alongside the camera position and defined sections. This ensures that issues are never obscured by other elements, providing a clearer understanding of their location and context.

Handle clashes efficiently

The efficiency of the Newforma workflow for handling clashes can be somewhat limited and frustrating, especially when considering the inability to manage status and assignment of clashes individually. This restriction, coupled with the poor integration between clashes and issues within Newforma workflows, makes it difficult to monitor clash resolution progress effectively.

In contrast, BIMWorkplace offers a solution to this challenge. Users can continue utilizing Navisworks, a beloved tool among BIM Managers, while also attaching clashes to issues (at BIMworkplace we call it topics) within the BIMWorkplace platform. Furthermore, any changes in status both in Navisworks or BIMWorkplace, from New to Resolved or Approved, can be synced across team members, streamlining the resolution process and enhancing collaboration.
