New release provides optimized user interface, improved features, and
tighter integration between the cloud and the desktop
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 13, 2013--
Autodesk,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) is launching a new version of Autodesk
BIM 360 Glue, a cloud-based Building
Information Modeling (BIM) solution. Autodesk BIM 360 Glue extends
the BIM process from design to construction by providing all
stakeholders access to project information for model coordination and
clash detection via desktop, mobile and web.
The introduction of mobile devices into the construction industry is
transforming the way that projects are built and managed. With BIM 360
Glue, enhanced cloud-based collaboration and mobile access help ensure
that the entire project team can participate in the coordination
process, minimizing the coordination cycles and providing teams with
tools to view the designs wherever they are located. Extended project
design and construction teams can use one-click access to review the
latest project models and run clashes in real-time, saving time and
money on design and construction projects.
The new release provides a redesigned and optimized user interface as
well as support for larger project models, and improved coordination
with Autodesk
Revit, Autodesk
AutoCAD, and Autodesk
AutoCAD Civil 3D. With BIM 360 Glue, users can move more seamlessly
between Autodesk
Navisworks software products and BIM 360 Glue for more intelligent
and connected workflows. Now supporting more than 50 different 3D
formats, customers can use BIM 360 Glue for team-based coordination and
then bring the coordinated models directly into Navisworks software.
From there they can take the project even further with advanced
analysis, 4D animated timelines, and model-based quantification. The
updated BIM 360 Glue mobile app also provides better anti-aliasing and
support for Navisworks models to deliver virtually “anywhere access” to
critical project data.
“BIM is transforming the AEC industry; this happened first in
architecture and more recently in construction,” said Amar Hanspal,
Autodesk senior vice president of information modeling products
“Autodesk’s cloud and mobile technologies are untethering BIM from the
desktop, allowing extended project teams to more effectively collaborate
and coordinate projects with greater speed and power.”
Rodd Merchant, senior vice president of JE Dunn, said, “We believe BIM
360 Glue will take our construction services to the next level.” JE Dunn
Construction is a leading provider of construction management services,
design-build, and integrated project delivery.
Coordinating models across the extended project team requires
significant file management, which can slow down the collaboration
process. With BIM 360 Glue, the extended project team has one-click
access to the latest models in the cloud at any time, simplifying
coordination and allowing contributors to run their own clashes,
reducing the coordination cycle and helping save on project duration and
cost.
The latest release of BIM 360 Glue and 30-day free trial are available
as of May 13th, 2013 and are available globally, sold and
supported in English.
