PlanGrid BIM Delivers BIM Data in 2D and 3D on Mobile Devices

PlanGrid BIM is a powerful new product integration with Autodesk Revit that enables users to immediately access Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, in either 2D or 3D, directly within PlanGrid on their mobile devices.

With PlanGrid BIM, users can see BIM data properties within familiar 2D drawings, or tap into 3D to better visualize assets within the surrounding environment — all from within PlanGrid’s software. Encompassing three core elements, PlanGrid’s new BIM functionality includes:

• BIM-enabled Sheets: Users can tap objects to access BIM data properties, such as an object’s dimensions, material type or manufacturer details, all within the familiar 2Denvironment.
• 3D BIM Viewer: With a simple tap, users can instantly transition into a 3D view of a specific object, even if offline. Includes features such as zoom and snap tools for taking measurements between model objects. Currently in open beta.
• Revit Integration: Sheets are published directly from Revit into PlanGrid, guaranteeing 100% accuracy of BIM data, as well as sheet titles and numbers; drawings continue to include PlanGrid features such as automatic callout detection and hyperlinking.

PlanGrid BIM is available to all PlanGrid users on iOS and web, with functionality in Android and Windows to follow in the future. PlanGrid will continue furthering its aim to help increase construction productivity with features to be added in the future that include integration with other design and project review software such as Autodesk Navisworks ,two-way sync to update the master BIM model with data from the field, and the ability to generate tasks, RFIs and punchlists from model data.
