BCF Manager for Archicad integrates Archicad with BIMcollab, a cloud- and BCF-based issue management system. Also it adds BCF file support to Archicad. It provides the ability to create and modify issues and communicate these through BIMcollab or via BCF files (supports version 1.0 and 2.x) directly from within Archicad. BCF Manager for Archicad provides an efficient collaboration workflow for communicating BIM issues.
About BCF (Building Collaboration Format)
Construction projects usually involve team members from different companies. During design reviews issues arise, which need to be addressed by one of those team members. In most cases this means working on one project using different software. That’s where IFC comes in; exchanging the actual models via an “open standard”.
But how do you transmit the issues found? IFC contains data (GUID’s) linked to the building objects, and is therefore not suitable for documenting issues or workflows. BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) is an open file format that allows the addition of textual comments, screenshots and more on top of the IFC model layer for better communication between coordinating parties. It separates the communication from the actual model.
About BIMcollab
BIMcollab is a cloud- and BCF-based issue management system. Issues in BIMcollab are directly linked to positions and objects in your model, accessible via web browsers or directly from your BIM application. BIMcollab’s issue management offers a structured way of storing, sharing and managing issues. But most important: you have the information where it’s needed: directly within your BIM tool.
BCF Managers
BIMcollab is connected to the most popular BIM tools like Revit, Archicad, Navisworks, Solibri and Tekla Structures through integrated BCF Managers by KUBUS. They can also be used to import and export BCF files.
Create and share issues with team members whether they are working with the same or different BIM tools. Start in model checking-, clash detection- or validation software and lookup issues, review solutions, follow mark-ups and provide feedback to solve in BIM modeling tools.
Free Bimcollab account
A free BIMcollab account is included with the BCF Manager. You can publish and manage issues in the cloud, and share them with others directly from the Revit/Navisworks plug-in or using the web interface.
