BIM 360 Design is a cloud work-sharing and design-collaboration product built for distributed, multidisciplinary teams. With BIM 360 Design, you can co-author Revit models in the cloud, control work-sharing activities, and coordinate deliverable exchange across teams.

Come and discover the BIM 360 Glue software API. This API (application programming interface) is composed of 2 parts: the Web Services API and the display component. The Web Services API is REST-based, and it enables you to access your BIM 360 Glue software data, such as users, models, and actions. You can imbed the display component, or Viewer API, in your application. Using the BIM 360 Glue software API, you can, for example, automate the updating of projects and models from external applications. BIM 360 Glue software keeps track of a user's actions as data in additional to traditional model-centric information. You can also use such information to make a report that will keep track of a team's progress. Of course, BIM 360 Glue software is totally cloud based, so you can connect your own web services applications with the BIM 360 Glue software projects. We will also use examples of use cases to demonstrate what you can do with the BIM 360 Glue software API.
