BricsCAD® BIM supports the BIMcollab issue management ecosystem

Bricsys® and BIMcollab are delighted to announce the integration of the BIMcollab BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) Application Programming Interface (API) into BricsCAD® BIM V20. A new BCF panel in the BricsCAD BIM product lets users connect to the BIMcollab platform through this open API. The connected panel allows users to see, open and manage BIM issues directly inside of the BricsCAD BIM product environment, while working directly with the BIM model.

The open BCF API has been recently released by BIMcollab. It is based on BuildingSMART open standards, to better facilitate effective communications across a variety of BIM tools and workflows. Bricsys is proud to deliver one of the first application software products that uses this open BCF API to connect with the BIMcollab platform.

Using the panel, the BricsCAD BIM user can select an issue and have the relevant model elements automatically selected. This workflow enables efficient communications of design issues, without the added hassle of sending emails and attachments back and forth via traditional channels. Also, users can add comments to model issues stored on the BIMcollab server and can change the status of issue notifications.
