30-10-2024 - Pillr develops software that complies with Open BIM standards and offers strong tools for quality assurance during construction projects. With the BCF Live Connector, Pillr offers a good solution for more effective issue management and problem communication between different platforms.
BIM Collaboration Format
The BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) is an open standard from buildingSMART that makes collaboration in BIM projects more efficient. It provides a streamlined way to structure communication between different BIM tools. This communication takes place in the form of "BCF packages," which consist of text, images, and camera angles. These packages can be easily exchanged via an XML file or via an API for direct integration with other applications. This makes it easier to share and resolve issues and project information directly within the software used.
Why BCF
Effective communication is always an interplay. BCF helps to better align issues and expectations in BIM.
- Reliable communication through clear agreements.
- Short lead times because there is less noise.
- Reduced failure costs due to more efficient coordination.
- Greater plan stability thanks to accessible communication history.
- Better collaboration, no matter what software you use.
- Safeguarding responsibilities through transparent assignment of actions
How does BCF help your work process?
BCF is used for design issues, changes during construction, and coordination between disciplines. BCF is intended for better alignment of issues, such as the results of a model check, but also expectations, comments or notes.
One of the biggest advantages of BCF is that it is not platform dependent. This means that professionals can easily collaborate with partners who use different software packages. As a result, collaboration within construction projects becomes more efficient and effective, leading to better results and less miscommunication.
BCF Live Connector
With the BCF Live Connector, we make it possible to synchronize the issues from Pillr with Solibri. This eliminates the need to manually import and export BCF files between packages. With the BCF Live Connector, we optimize and automate a work process for you.
With our plugins 'Pillr for Revit' and 'Pillr for Navisworks' you can also get the created issues directly from Solibri. This allows you to immediately see and process your partner's tasks.
