Simplification
Previously 3D model files (Revit and IFC formats) were merged to Asite Model Server for collaboration mandatorily. This was a time-consuming process. With the newly introduced model management approach we focused on simplicity and flexibility. This involved firstly removing dependency on work-sets mapped to folders and secondly mandatory merging on upload of IFC files. Alongside federating IFC files, user can now select any of the 50+ 3D file formats supported by our viewer, including Revit, to federate them together using intuitive right-click functionality. The same 3D file can now be federated as part of multiple models, with the option to view it as part of any federated model or individually. Readily add and remove 3D files from a federated model either from the CDE or directly in the model viewer.

Our latest release allows designers to create dropdowns that respect hierarchical attributes from the defined master data. As a result, the project portfolio's hierarchy and attribute mapping are always consistent, and designers can build and deploy digital forms more quickly.
