BIM coordination, with a trail from finding to fix.
Coordination spaces, BCF-style topics, async clash detection and buildingSMART IDS validation — all connected to your federated models in one auditable place.
The everyday pain of coordination — gone.
Design replaces fragmented emails, spot checks and PDF requirements with a single coordinated workflow over your federated models.
- ✕Coordination data scattered across email and screenshotsIssues, comments and decisions live in inboxes and chat, with no link to the model or project state.
- ✕No common scope for which models and rules applyTeams disagree on which models, disciplines and checks are part of each coordination exercise.
- ✕Issues with no owner, status or priorityMeeting notes get lost — there's no shared register of who's doing what and by when.
- ✕Comments lost outside the model contextWithout 3D context, attachments and threaded discussion in one place, decisions get rebuilt every meeting.
- ✕Clashes trapped in authoring softwareFindings stay in Revit/Navisworks files instead of a shared, web-based history that everyone can review.
- ✕Federated models too heavy for synchronous checksRunning clash detection in the browser blocks the UI — large projects need queued, scalable workers.
- ✕EIR / BEP requirements stuck in PDF — not testableInformation requirements written as documents can't be enforced; IDS turns them into executable rules.
- ✕Manual, sample-based validation across disciplinesSpot-checking models by hand misses non-conformities — IDS runs the same rules against every element.
One module. Four jobs done well.
From scope definition to issue resolution and standards-based validation — every step of design coordination, connected.
Coordination Spaces
Define named scopes for clash testing, IDS checks and related workflows. Each space groups its member models, attached specifications and run history — and can be archived when complete.
- Scoped model sets
- IDS attachment
- Run history
- Archiving
Topics — issues with 3D context
BCF-style coordination records with status, owner, 3D viewer thumbnail, threaded comments and attachments. Per-topic permissions, saved filters and full audit history keep large teams aligned.
- BCF-style issues
- Comments & attachments
- Per-topic permissions
- Saved filters
- History & audit
- Excel & BCF I/O
Clash Detection at scale
Async clash runs processed by queued workers — no frozen browser, no abandoned reports. Track every run with chunked progress, comment on findings and convert any clash into a topic to drive it to closure.
- Async runs (queued workers)
- Run history & chunks
- Comments on clashes
- 'Open as topic' workflow
- Selection preview
IDS Validation
Turn EIR / BEP requirements into executable rules with buildingSMART IDS. Author specs in an IFC schema-aware editor, run them against one model or every active spec at once, and link findings straight back to topics.
- Import / export .ids XML
- Run one or all active specs
- Searchable results
- Link findings to topics
- IFC schema-aware editor
Eight capabilities. One coordination workflow.
Everything a project needs to scope, track, validate and resolve design issues — at any scale.
Coordination Spaces
Named scopes that bundle member models, IDS specs and clash workflows — with archiving.
Topics CRUD & Filters
Create, query and filter topics by ID with summary or full payload — built for large registers.
Topic Permissions
Fine-grained access at company, team and user level — read without edit, segment responsibilities.
Clash Runs & Results
Queue runs (HTTP 202), track chunks and progress, review results with comments and geometry.
IDS Specifications
List, create, update, duplicate and delete specs — backed by an IFC schema-aware editor.
IDS Execution
Run one specification or every active spec across the project, with re-runs and exportable results.
Reports & Excel I/O
Export-permissioned report jobs, plus Excel round-trip for topics and findings.
BCF & Desktop Integrations
Import/export BCF and channel desktop integrations by context — paginated and audited.
