M5d Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) https://architosh.com/2024/04/autodesk-and-nemetschek-group-partner-on-interoperability/ This seems like a monumental shift / leap forward. @KPrice Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere, I couldn't see it in announcements. I would be very interested to hear from Nemetschek Vectorwork's on this agreement, and what kind of developments might be looked at over time? Edited May 4 by M5d Topic Title Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Interesting change. How many years didn't Nemetschek offer any interoperability - between their own products ? Can I collaborate with my Archicad partners or Allplan soon ? Architosh writes about desktop Apps too but for me it sounds like 95% cloud based though. Therefore we have Speckle already ? I get why Nemetschek wants to get interoperability with Revit. But Autodesk ? They already own near the whole market (?) 1 Quote Link to comment
Silvano Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I don't understand IT, but can we trust that the technological trash of the last century will be solved in the cloud? I wish I'd never had problems with dwg, rvt... Quote Link to comment

Perhaps to avoid antitrust lawsuits by building a history of trying to play nice? To finally respond in an actionable way to the open letters calling for Revit to improve. To squash some of the emerging startups that threaten to turn things on their head by forcing them to open up their API if they want to play with the big dogs? It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I don’t expect anything significant. The infrastructure software companies kinda get a pass on the whole monopoly thing due to the “national security” excuse. I don’t think architectural software making McBuilding can use the same. 1 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Interesting thoughts. The good thing for me is just that lately there came some movement in the non existing Speckle Connector. Means that so far it was known that a "community" tries to build a Connector but had problems and we never saw any early versions. Now there seems to be a real chance that Speckle stuff will maybe work on it. Maybe even with the help of VW stuff. Users of Revit, Rhino, Sketchup, Blender, Navisworks, PowerBI, QGIS, that other GIS, .... and even Archicad users are already heavily collaborating between each other with Speckle. But my only serious Software supported by Speckle ins Blender. (Beside that I start looking at QGIS or Unreal Engine) So the only thing I can do to test Speckle is uploading an IFC to stream it to Blender .... (Which doesn't need Speckle as you want BlenderBIM AddOn anyway) I need and want finally Speckle Connectors for my VW and my Bricscad. Quote Link to comment
