Non-technical stakeholders such as sales and management don't have access to 3D content
Design progress is impossible to accurately track and report on
With support for 60+ file formats, you can review all major 2D/3D CAD file formats with complete model data and PMI. Sharing with your team and external collaborators is secure and simple to manage.
Expedite your design review process by creating efficient reviews with all of the context. Connect requirements to the review and automate reporting in a few clicks.
Manage issues and tasks as simple punch lists or integrated directly with the 3D model. Feedback, markups, comments, and closeouts - all in one place. Avoid confusion and consistently keep everyone in the loop on progress.
Add issue tags and links to 3D models, drawings and PDF files so you never have to navigate to find the information you need to make a decision.
