Highlights

Coordinate and control models from different disciplines using visualization modes, model-checker, and comment functions.

3D navigation

Fly or walk through the model, turn objects on and off, view detailed information about selected objects, isolate elements not visible from the outside, and display objects with color, transparency, or as a wireframe.

Clash detection

Use the integrated interdisciplinary clash detection to analyze design issues in models automatically. Communicate issues via the BCF manager — supported by automatic snapshots and object selection — and add comments, status updates, and other optional settings. Take advantage of powerful model-checker functions like distance checking and more.

Visualization filters

Five different rendering modes make visualizing models easy.  Display specific elements in color to analyze model information in more detail. Filters are currently available for proxy objects, U-values, and imported files.
