Closer to complete control: BIMcollab’s first improvements of 2026

Meaningful improvement based on your feedback

Each Q1 release enhances how BIMcollab supports real-world BIM collaboration.  

Across projects, locations, and teams, customers and users have told us where complexity creeps in: 

• When multiple projects overlap at a single site. 

• When it’s unclear which model version is safe to rely on. 

• When project administration becomes harder to manage at scale. 

The updates below directly address those challenges, helping you maintain clarity, confidence, and control as your BIM environment matures. 

Control over complexity across locations and projects

Release: See federated models at location level from the CDE

Managing multiple projects at a single location often means juggling separate models, duplicated files, or manually maintained master views. This new feature in our CDE changes that. 

Now, you can generate a complete federated 3D view of multiple projects at a location level, directly from the CDE. Relevant models are brought together into one unified view, eliminating the need to copy files or maintain separate coordination models. 

What this gives you: 

• A complete, accurate overview of all BIM models across projects, phases, and locations, or even across a group of locations. 

• No duplication of models or additional maintenance overhead. 

• Full respect of access rights, so users only see what’s relevant to their role. 

• Personalized model tags can be used on location level. 

For stakeholders who need fast insight into what’s happening across a site, this means fewer blind spots and faster, better-informed decisions. It’s a significant step toward controlling BIM complexity at scale while simultaneously keeping governance intact.

Release: ISO 19650 status filtering

When multiple versions of a model exist, uncertainty quickly follows: Is this the latest WIP upload? Which version is approved? And which stakeholder is authorized to view this?  

With the new ISO 19650 status filter in the WebViewer, that ambiguity is resolved. You can now switch between: 

• Shared view: This shows the latest version of all loaded models. This can be either a shared or published version. 

• Published view: This will show the latest approved version of all loaded models. Models that don’t have a published version will not be visible. 

This gives teams clear control over which model state they are viewing at any moment in the WebViewer. With a single click, you can focus only on shared or published models, or instantly access the most recent updates, without need to sift through drafts or outdated versions. 

As a result, it’s always clear whether you’re looking at something official or still in progress. Decision-makers see only approved information, stakeholders access only what they’re authorized to view, and teams stay aligned around the same, trusted model state. 

The outcome is less confusion, reduced risk, and more confident collaboration across disciplines, supporting faster workflows and better-informed decisions. 

Control at scale across your BIMcollab environment

Release: Improved project administration

As teams and projects evolve, administration can easily become a bottleneck. When administrators are responsible for managing multiple projects, configuring their settings, and maintaining consistency and control, efficiency becomes essential. 

We know administrators wear many hats and juggle competing priorities. That’s why these improvements are designed to reduce friction and cognitive load, helping administrators stay in control without adding unnecessary complexity.
