Tech Soft 3D and Asite, a collaborative cloud provider, announced that Tech Soft 3D's HOOPS software development toolkits provided key visualization and data import capabilities for Asite cBIM.
cBIM centralizes information, knowledge and design in a collaborative online environment, allowing all stakeholders in a project to coordinate design in real-time from anywhere in the world, the company says. HOOPS Exchange enables cBIM to quickly visualize the IFC file format, creating a shared building information model to coordinate design components. The Large Model Visualization (LMV) capability of HOOPS Visualize works within Asite to allow real-time 3D viewing of extremely large datasets. cBIM users are thus able to visualize their design within the context of the overall model, reducing the risk of onsite problems.
"Tech Soft 3D was able to work with our software-as-a-service model to help us provide an immersive 3D experience to our cBIM users," said Tony Ryan, Asite CEO. "HOOPS Visualize and HOOPS Exchange had the functionality and reliability we needed to ensure the highest level of performance within cBIM."
