Hello there!

As leaves pile up outside, model coordination tasks can pile up too. Missing information? Another round of conflict checks? Sounds like your coordination workflow could use a little help! 🍂  

Discover how IDS and Nightshift can take some of that work off your plate: check if your model contains the right information, and schedule model and checking results updates, so you can spend less time running checks and more time following up on what matters. 

Let's dive in! 

Clash-free isn't enough

This is where Information Delivery Specification (IDS) checks come in...

With BIMcollab's IDS validation, you can verify that model elements contain the information your team needs, not just whether the geometry fits together. Spot missing or incorrect information before it causes a problem during review or handover. 

Let Nightshift handle the updates

New model versions keep arriving. Keeping results up to date can take valuable time, especially when working with large model federations. 

With BIMcollab, you can define structured clash detection and IDS checks, and report the results as Smart Issues, making it easy to track them as models evolve. Once your checks are set up, it's time to keep your models and Smart Issues up to date.

But why spend your working hours doing that? 

Let Nightshift handle the updates while

you're away! 🌙 

Schedule automatic updates to model versions and Smart Issues, even overnight, and return to refreshed results the next morning. Spend less time waiting, and more time resolving issues. 

BIMcollab Tips 

Group check results

Set your preferred grouping directly in the clash detection and IDS rules. This will be applied automatically in BIMcollab Zoom whenever you run the check. 

Set IDS data types

Having the right information isn't enough if it's in the wrong format! You can specify the required data format, such as text, number, or Boolean, according to your IDS standard. 

•  ...you can view your project's IDS requirements directly in Revit and check which information selected elements need? 
• ...you can share conflict detection rules with your team in BIMcollab Zoom, so different team members can take responsibility for different checks?
