You can use our BCF Managers in any situation where issue management for BIM is needed. Whether it is BCF file based or synchronized into a cloud server like BIMcollab Nexus.
We support multidisciplinary teamwork by offering BCF Managers for all recent versions of Revit, Archicad, Navisworks, Tekla Structures, simplebim, and more. Combined with the native support for BCF in many other tools like BIMsight, DDS, MagiCAD, etc your whole team can easily switch to BCF based issue management.
How to exchange issues
Report issues
Keep the BCF Manager always at hand when checking a model, so you can make notes and create 2D and 3D issues. Stop sending e-mails about issues to team members, just assign these to them.
Resolve and comment
Fix the issue, document your changes, and set the status to ‘Resolved.’ If someone else is responsible, assign the issue to that person to approve and close the issues. Synchronize changes to BIMcollab or save them to a BCF file.
Add new issues, with just one click, from a 3D view, 2D document or detail. Add a comment and assign it to one of your team members or yourself.

How to move from a file-based to an online workflow
Merge or convert BCF files
When sending BCF files to multiple team members you can also receive back multiple BCF files. How do you deal with all this information? Split files per team member up front? A lot of work.
On join.bimcollab.com you can create a free account to merge BCF files. Export all issues in a project as a new BCF file to share with your team members.
Move your workflow to the cloud
How do you know which issue is solved in which BCF file? Or even worse: the same issue can be commented in two different BCF files. Merging the information is needed to prevent time consuming search and compare.
A better solution is to invite team members so they can connect directly to your projects on BIMcollab Nexus. They can see and filter the issues they have to work on. And the best part of this is that all BCF Managers can connect directly to BIMcollab Nexus as well.
