Tekla announces the release of Tekla BIMsight 1.8, the latest version of its free, easy-to-use software tool for building information modeling (BIM) project coordination. The new release augments BIM communication features for construction and design professionals in more than 160 countries who have taken it into use and opened over 4.5 million models.
Tekla BIMsight is a construction and design coordination tool with emphasis on three Cs: Combining models, Checking for conflicts and Communicating. Tekla BIMsight 1.8 concentrates mostly on Communication tasks, with new features including live sharing and support for IFC grids.
Making notes in Tekla BIMsight and sharing them with others via email has always been possible but now the sharing is easier, faster and more automated: enabling the real-time sharing of notes through the Project folder, previously introduced in Tekla BIMsight 1.6. With this feature, users can avoid sending or losing e-mails; they can simply write a public note and others will receive it in no time.
The Project folder stores all models and notes about the project, and can reside on a con a network drive and be used as a project bank. When users are connected to the shared Project folder, new public notes and replies will automatically appear to them in Tekla BIMsight. They also will receive notifications about new or updated models or can update the models themselves – providing everyone in a project team with the same, updated information.
The shared notes themselves have been improved: all data, including color coding and multiple snapshots for example are now shared through the Project folder.
Support for grids meets user needs
Support for IFC grids is another major new feature, enabling easy navigation in the model and also on site using grids and grid labels. Users can now snap to gridlines, measure structures using them and of course hide them and show only relevant grid elevations. Grids also make model positioning and combining models much easier than before.
