Revit[]Connect Provides Rapid BIM Information Transfers for Revit Server 13 Projects

By DE Editors

Autodesk reseller Applied Software's Revit]]Connect improves and accelerates multi-team collaboration for building information modeling (BIM) projects developed with Autodesk Revit Server 13. The solution enables multi-team collaboration, seamless workflows and rapid information exchanges of BIM data, allowing architectural and design firms to share large project files between satellite offices and partner companies over the Internet.

According to the company, "the existing methodology for sharing Revit files passes too much data back and forth across network connections to be practical." Revit]]Connect, in combination with Revit Server 2013, accelerates BIM file sharing for collaboration at a fraction of the cost of wide area network connections by combining hardware- and software-aided file replication and advanced Revit file management.

The system's workflow overlay strategy produces a secure, dedicated, high-performance work environment for better results, fewer bottlenecks and reduced network lag. Remote connectivity via software-based VPN solutions can support team members who may only require temporary project access, and remote Revit sessions can also be served to devices not typically able to run Revit like iPads, smaller notebooks or home computers, allowing  for short-term, rapidly-deployed connection options.
