Mixed Runtime Federations: Connecting BIM Models Across Formats in Vcad for ACC
We’re excited to introduce a new changes to the definition of runtime federations that bring even greater flexibility and power to Vcad for ACC users. These include version management and mixed runtime federations. This new feature enables users to connect and work with BIM models of different file types, opening up new possibilities for project collaboration and data analysis.
Connect Models of Different File Types
Gone are the days of format restrictions limiting your workflows. With mixed runtime federations, you can now bring together models from different BIM file types, including Revit and Navisworks, into a single, cohesive runtime federation. This means more seamless integration, a unified view of complex projects, and more effective data exploration.
This is all possible thanks to the new unified conversion type available for all major file types.
Added New Version Selection
To further enhance flexibility, we’ve introduced new version selection capabilities. This allows users to choose which version of a model to include in the federation, ensuring that your team is always working with the most relevant data for your needs.
Added New View/Phase Selection
We’ve also added new view and phase selection options, providing greater control over what aspects of your models are included in the federation. This makes it easier to tailor the experience to match specific project needs, whether it’s focusing on a particular phase of construction or isolating key views for analysis.
Conclusion
We hope you enjoy this new functionality and look forward to hearing your feedback!
As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need support as you explore mixed runtime federations.
