Mortenson Construction has always had success in Navisworks project review software as a platform for 3D construction-phase coordination. Discover how we use BIM 360 Glue software for design-phase collaboration to reduce latency and improve communication. Iterative design coordination is often hindered by limitations in technology—design partners pass along their latest information on a specified date, but no one really has the most up-to-date data to work with. This results in inefficient meetings and longer-than-acceptable design schedules. BIM 360 Glue software enables the project team to have real-time design and construction data in a variety of devices and formats, effectively removing many technology barriers. Using real examples from various Mortenson projects, this presentation will show you how to effectively coordinate your design on an iterative basis using BIM 360 Glue software. See how Mortenson is utilizing its enterprise BIM 360 Glue Solution to drive adoption with project stakeholders.

In this class, we introduce you to the BIM 360 Glue API. The Glue API is composed of 2 parts: a web services API and a display component (viewer). The web services API is REST-based. It allows you to access BIM 360 project data in the cloud, such as users, models, and actions. The display component (or viewer API) can be embedded in your application. It provides additional control to its user interface and allows you to customize the viewing experience. Using the Glue API, you can, for example, automate updating projects and models from external applications. BIM 360 Glue keeps track of user's actions as data in addition to traditional model-centric information, which can be used for progress tracking, health monitoring of projects, and so on. As BIM 360 Glue is totally cloud-based, you can connect your own web services applications with the Glue projects. We also show you examples of use cases and demonstrate what you can do using the Glue API. This class assumes you have a basic understanding of web programming, such as web services. Working knowledge of the REST API is helpful for understanding the discussion.

The class will cover the workflows and considerations needed when setting models up in Revit software for export to BIM 360 Glue software to enable these to be used in BIM 360 Field software and then Building Ops software with asset management and operations and maintenance in mind. The presentation will look at how certain data doesn’t flow across the platforms, and we’ll demonstrate alternative work-arounds you can undertake to overcome this. The presentation will look at how to set up your Revit project with the mindset that the models will be used on iPads in BIM 360 Field software, and then we’ll look at how the data will transfer across into the Building Ops application. We will also address which application the data is generated in and we’ll look at examples of who populates this information. We will explore the differences in the Building Ops model viewing appearance, and the considerations that you may want to make when setting up the model at the start of the project with BIM 360 Glue software, BIM 360 Field software, and Building Ops software in mind.
