3D Repo

By audience

Architecture

• Federate the architectural Revit model with consultant IFC models in the browser and run Instant Clash before issuing.
• Track design issues as BCF-compatible pins in the model with consultants who have no Revit licence.
• Use 3D Diff to show a client exactly what changed between two model issues.

BIM Coordinator

• Run Instant Clash between any two models in the browser, regardless of file type.
• Raise, assign and close coordination issues pinned to model elements.
• Validate model data against the agreed specification with Smart Groups.

BIM Manager

• Set up teamspaces, projects and roles so every party works from one model source.
• Use Smart Groups to check deliverables against information requirements automatically.
• Report issue and risk status across projects through the API and Power BI.

Civil Engineering

• Combine Civil 3D and Bentley DGN infrastructure models with structures models for federated review.
• Build bespoke client portals for highways or rail clients on the embeddable viewer and REST API.

Construction Management

• Open the design federation in any browser without Navisworks seats for the field team.
• Pull issues and SafetiBase risks into Power BI for weekly project review dashboards.
• Open 3D Repo models from inside a Procore project through the 3D Repo Procore app.

General Contracting

• Federate trade-contractor models from many authoring tools into one browser-based view for site teams.
• Track health and safety risks in SafetiBase against model elements through construction.
• Import Synchro 4D sequences to review site risks against the construction sequence.

MEP Engineering

• Publish Revit MEP models through the Revit plugin for federated coordination review.
• Flag access and maintainability hazards in SafetiBase and assign mitigations to design or contractor.
• Track issue closure on MEP packages in Power BI through the 3D Repo Custom Visual.

Owner/Developer

• Commission a custom portal on the embeddable viewer where project and asset teams mark up and comment.
• Receive the federated model at handover with its issue and SafetiBase risk history attached.

Structural Engineering

• Publish structural models from Revit or Civil 3D straight into the federated browser view.
• Review structural changes against the architectural and MEP federation alongside the rest of the team.
• Run geometry-only clash checks even when object IDs do not line up across authoring tools.

By phase

Design

• Federate consultant models for coordination reviews without forcing one authoring tool.
• Track design issues and clashes and close them as new revisions are published.
• Use 3D Diff to show stakeholders what changed between issues.

Pre-Construction

• Import Synchro 4D sequences to evaluate site risks and hazards before mobilisation.
• Record SafetiBase risks against the model so the principal contractor inherits them.

Construction

• Site teams open the latest federated model on any device to check installations against design intent.
• SafetiBase pins health and safety hazards to model elements in line with PAS 1192-6.
• Issues raised on site flow back to authoring tools through the Revit, Navisworks and Civil 3D plugins.

Closeout & Operations

• Hand the federated model and its issue and risk history to the owner at completion.
• Reuse the embeddable viewer as the geometry engine for owner asset-management front ends.
