Tridify announced that it has been awarded an Epic MegaGrant to develop a new BIM streaming service, enabling AEC professionals to view interactive BIM models rendered with Unreal Engine streamed to any mobile device.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Designed to improve collaboration at all stages of the construction process, the service will make existing workflows more efficient and increase the quality of the viewing experience, when sharing large BIMs remotely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Breaking down existing barriers to sharing large BIMs, the service works with any size of model on any device. Previously, due to the size of data and restrictions of mobile devices, viewing large models remotely made collaboration difficult. Users can now benefit from uninterrupted workflows, seamlessly interacting with complex models from any location.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tridify\u2019s new service automatically publishes any IFC file to Unreal\u00a0Engine and streams it to users via a URL. As the model is streamed directly to a device, there is no need to download any additional applications. The service will be available during October via a range of different priced packages and\u00a0is an addition to Tridify\u2019s existing set of BIM publishing tools.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to view any type of BIM model on any device, rendered in the industry\u2019s highest quality game engine Unreal, is a major milestone in the streamlining of AEC workflows,\u201d said Alexander Le Bell<\/strong>, Tridify CEO. \u201cThe service solves the problem of how to share complete models of large-scale\u00a0developments such as\u00a0airports, hospitals, or shopping malls with everyone, anywhere, without any technical or financial barriers. Tridify is delighted to receive the MegaGrant from Epic Games to create the new service and transform the working practices of architects, engineers, and BIM managers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Tridify service opens up\u00a0amazing\u00a0opportunities for the AEC community to benefit\u00a0from the power of Unreal Engine visualizations, as they work more remotely with\u00a0increasingly complex BIMs,\u201d commented David Weir-McCall<\/strong>, Business Development, Unreal\u00a0Engine Enterprise, Epic Games. \u201cMaking Unreal Engine more accessible in this way will allow\u00a0the\u00a0AEC ecosystem to understand projects more easily and\u00a0open\u00a0communication\u00a0between designer and client.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Users can select to combine different models, such as architecture, HVAC, plumbing or electricity, or simply choose to stream a complete BIM model. Future tools will include mark-up, annotations, measuring and cutting planes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
