Tekla BIMsight is a proven tool for all building and construction disciplines, including architects, to collaborate and share. Built on Tekla’s advanced modeling technology and revolutionizing the way companies license and utilize 3D modeling solutions for construction, Tekla BIMsight 1.2 is still offered as a free, downloadable application. Everyone from small to large construction companies can download Tekla BIMsight for free and begin to utilize their design files for 3D project collaboration purposes, for example, to detect clashes. Most importantly, the software enables its users to easily share the coordinated models necessary for effective collaboration among all team members.
“It is crucial for architects and structural engineers to be able to coordinate and construct with contractors, seamlessly,” said Laura Virros, director of the Project Delivery segment at Tekla. “We are happy to share a common belief in open BIM collaboration with GRAPHISOFT, and we are delighted to have them along as a Tekla BIMsight distributor.”
