New version of Tekla BIMsight available to boost collaboration


 KENNESAW, GA. — Tekla announced a new version of Tekla BIMsight that it said offers improved collaboration tools for construction projects. As before, the BIM tool is available to download and share over the Internet for free.

According to the company, new features in Tekla BIMsight 1.3 make it easier for project parties to find the relevant information from the various models and communicate the possible issues. A coloring function allows users to select colors for models or model objects, including transparency. Support for layers makes it easy to filter relevant data, and support for units (SI and Imperial) makes the information easy to understand.

The current release continues to improve the collaboration aspect by introducing a way for Tekla BIMsight users to exchange notes in open BCF format. Tekla launched the first version of this software application for building information model-based construction project collaboration in February 2011.

"Tekla's mission is the same as before, to develop the construction industry towards the use of digital design tools and thus increase the efficiency of our customers processes and reveal their full potential." said Tekla Executive Vice President Risto Räty. Tekla BIMsight remains free and Tekla promotes it to be used for design coordination in all BIM projects - big and small.
