Bimplus enables collaboration with other disciplines (for example engineers using Allplan) on large projects. Different model types can be aligned in a common federated model space.

Bimplus Connection can upload documents from Archicad, and can update them with new revisions. It does not download data from Bimplus to Archicad.

Bluebeam Studio Connection

This new add-on is included in the main Archicad package.

With Bluebeam Connection, Archicad users can create Bluebeam Studio Sessions and Projects and populate them with Archicad 2D documentation quickly, without having to open Bluebeam Revu or Cloud. The Studio Session can be shared with anyone (Bluebeam account is required to join) for a quick review of the documents. Then, Bluebeam Connection can grab the annotations and turn them into Archicad issues.
