When you are a developer of BIM software like a modeler, checker or viewer, or even BIM based software for cost estimation, planning, etc. you can use our tools to create links between BIMcollab and the BIM model in your tool. Focus on the connection to the model; we do the issue-management-part and all the underlying XML or communication protocols have been taken care of. You get the best we have, because we use the same libraries for our own set of add-ons.
You will have access to our BIMcollab development space. During development, your app can only connect to this development space for developing, experimenting and testings.
When you are ready with your app, you have to submit it for approval for commercial use with BIMcollab. After approval we will allow your add-on to connect to all end user spaces and you can start distributing. This way we keep an eye on the quality of the ecosystem.
