BIM 360 Team Model Compare

By Stuart Tanfield

Managing changes between old and new models can be challenging. At times, changes can be overlooked due to the complexity of models and can have an impacting effect on the design. Many of our customers used to and continue to use Autodesk Design Review to compare their 2D drawings. This is particularly useful as a quick cursory check over the changes. Now in a model based environment, there are tools available throughout the Autodesk portfolio to help track and identify changes. One tool which I find to be particularly useful is the model compare tool within BIM360 Team. The model compare allows users to identify changes very quickly and provides the ability to turn elements on and off for extra clarity. I have put together a short video outlining the features it provides. The really good news in all of this is if you purchased an AEC Collection from Cadline, there’s a good chance you already have this technology but are maybe unaware of it.
