OpenSpace BIM+ is a cloud-based add-on to OpenSpace Capture, designed to streamline BIM (Building Information Modeling) coordination between field and office teams in construction projects. It provides intuitive 3D tools that enable field personnel to view, navigate, and analyze BIM models on-site, compare them with actual site conditions, and communicate findings efficiently without requiring advanced BIM expertise. The platform integrates reality capture data, such as 360° images and point clouds, directly with BIM models, making it easier for teams to manage discrepancies, plan installations, and resolve issues quickly. OpenSpace BIM+ is particularly aimed at reducing the dependency on specialized VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) managers by empowering all team members to engage with BIM data directly and intuitively.

Key Features

On-site BIM Analysis Enables field teams to navigate and analyze BIM models on-site.

• Saved Views for quick navigation to specific model locations
• BIM Compare to view actual site conditions against the BIM model
• BIM Element Overlay to visualize model elements within 360° images
• Section analysis, measurement, and model browser tools
• Point cloud viewing for visual clash prevention

BIM Field Coordination Streamlines communication and issue resolution between field and office.

• BIM Compare Field Notes for marking up and sharing discrepancies
• BCF export for integration with other BIM coordination tools
• Immediate sharing and tagging of issues with team members

Model Management Simplifies handling and updating of BIM models.

• Direct Autodesk model import (BIM 360 Docs, Autodesk Construction Cloud)
• Support for multiple models per project for focused coordination
• Model usage reporting to track engagement and ROI

Offline Mobile Access Ensures BIM models are accessible in the field, even without connectivity.

• Download models for offline viewing on mobile devices
