BIM review from Strumis
BIM review is a desktlop software application by Strumis. It is similar to to Trimble’s Tekla BIMsight, having features such as: (i) clash checking capabilities, (ii) camera path viewpoints, and multiple format are supported including ifc xml step etc.
However we have to work to our clients requirements and at many instances they may not have access to Tekla BIMsight which is our standard protocol for model review. That can directly affect us.
Thus an simple installation of the BIM review application and Tekla plugin for extraction of BIM review compatible files may be necessary.
The BIM review application is a free product and can be downloaded and installed directly with an active internet connection.
Installation Procedures:
- Install the application STRUMIS/BIMREVIEW to Tekla Structures Plugin from tekla warehouse. Download and install the version of tekla you are using.
