Platform

Import/Export  

Multi-source input (3DCAD)
Via exporter plugins (e.g. Revit) The Exporters offer the choice between exporting the project as a whole with connected models or per model. A selection of Views allows you to generate a model with only the chosen views. To export items, you make a selection of the items and families you want to exhibit to a specific Items-Libray or all items in a project or model. Materials are collected and exported at selected Project / Model / Item level. Models, Items and Materials are placed in the central database after Conversion and Optimization have been completed, after which they are accessible from the Content & Preparation module.  

Via direct import of native file exports. .fbx and .ifc are the most commonly used file formats for this tool. If desired, other formats can easily be made available. 

Multi Level Input 
After conversion and optimization, you can effortlessly use the models in combination with each other in 1 project.

• Projects 

• Project model (separate, yet integral) 

• Project items 

• Business items  

• External items 

• Project materials 

• Company materials 

• External materials 

• Design Options by model
  

Conversion & Optimization 

Multi-hardware/operating system

• Smartphones (Android / IOX) 

• Tablets (Android / IOX) 

• PC & Laptop 3D (Windows/WebGl) 

• VR Glasses 

• MR Glasses 

The Conversion & Optimization places suitable models for each hardware type in the central cloud-based database. Despite vector optimization and suitability per operating system, updates and/or changes always come into the central model. 

Multi-LOD

• Mix and enhance 

• Use per phase for performance management  

In collaboration with partner companies, you do not always have access to models with the same LODs. After Conversion & Optimization, you can effortlessly use the models in combination with each other in 1 project.  

Multi-Integration possibilities (by APIs)

For linking or integration issues, we prefer APIs. Communications with our own Building Virtuality modules also usually take place via APIs 

Multi-Optimization

• Independent of LOD; Choose your quality level 
  

• Dramatic impact on performance, some impact on viewing experience (depending on hardware used) 

For specific situations, where the normal Conversion & Optimization is not sufficient, it is possible to choose 6 quality levels from the Export module. By making low quality available for a high-end device such as VR glasses, we are able to make very large projects manageable. 

Content & Preparation Module   

Company

• White Label 

Customize the look and feel of the applications to your own company's needs and tastes, including logo and naming and company colors. 

• Users, roles, apps 

At company level, you determine the main points of access to applications and rights within those applications. 

• Item Libraries 

Compile Libraries based on supplier/supplier set, based on application (electricity, bathroom etc). In this way, assign the items to be made available to the projects / models where they may be used. 

• Items 

Items  Restrictions can be added to Items via the Exporter. You can also change them here.  

On Items, the Material Categories are available and can be recorded as a choice. For example, a washbasin that is available in several (material) versions. Or, for example, kitchen cabinets on which a series of textures are available. 

Discounts can be made at item level. Adding or removing an item (wall socket) may have a different price.  

• Materials Categories; Texture sets/libraries 

Compose Categories based on applicability or desirability. If only a few types of exterior wall brick are available in a project, you assign only that category. For example, the switch between interior wall look and feel plastered or not is easy to realize with this. 

• Materials 

Loaded Materials are easy to improve in terms of look and feel. The link with, for example, materials exported from Revit is maintained so that the updated material version is used in the next export in the BV environment.  

• Models 

With the status check in the WebGl module, you can see at a glance how the processing is going. 

Project

• Project Dedication; Assign item sets  Assign 

• Project Dedication materials/textures sets 

• Project Dedication; Assigning Users & Roles 

• Subprojects 

For example, different construction project phases are distinguished via Subprojects. Can be processed separately and integrally.  

• Model-combinations  

Models are easy to copy and assemble in a project. 

This creates the possibility to generate only the basic versions for a housing project and to compile the desired house rows from the central database.  

• Design Options 

Apply constraints in a simple way so that errors in sales and work preparation are prevented with Design Option variations. 

• Multi-user-location design 

• Multiview 

• Mixed use of viewers (3D, VR, AR, ( MR in next release) 

Set up for the benefit of facilitating intensive cooperation, both internally and externally.  

The outcome of the Multi-User-View setup is working in the Design & Sales and the Realisation & Progress apps. This achieves an optimal way to allow multiple disciplines to understand each other. And with easy and fast coordination, prevent errors and gain considerable development time. You can view and comment on the project/model together. Comment together and assign them for later processing through the Markups system.
