Smgo Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi all, Any recommendations/experiences for BIM Clash Detection Software/Platforms such as BIM Track,Dalux, BIM Collab etc? I didnt list Solubri as it appears very expensive. Quote Link to comment
_c_ Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 As far as I know, for now there is nothing comparable to Solibri office when you need total check control. BIM Collab seems to want to move into the Solibri monopoly, though. Stay tuned on that. Quote Link to comment
elepp Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 There is also Navisworks, but than you have to buy into the Autodesk Ecosystem or Desite from Thinkproject. Desite is very powerful and capable. But so far all these programms are quite expensive. Quote Link to comment
Basem Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Would it be a VW - DALUX plugin as the one for Revit and Archicad? https://www.dalux.com/bim-viewer/#more Quote Link to comment
Matt Overton Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Has anyone had a look at BlenderBIM clash detection? Sure it seems a little hands on to set up but the price can't be beat... free. Still wondering if worth the effort of setting up to try it. Quote Link to comment
Popular Post _c_ Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2021 I am following with big interest a certain Dion Moult, who's involved into that. He's regular contributor at BulidingSmart forum. His posts are a wealth of knowledge. I certainly also want to try BlenderBIM as soon as I have some time. And no, time involved into OpenSource is always good time. 6 Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I looked at Blender BIM some time ago and was really impressed. Wanted to look deeper but I was never able to install it again. Installation stopped with an error message. Same with newer BBIM versions. Maybe because of M1, macOS Public Beta or Blender Alpha/Beta .... but I think I wasn't successful on Windows either. But very interested in your experiences. Currently I was very happy with OpenIFCViewer. (Until I went to macOS 12 Monterey Public Beta 😉 ) 1 Quote Link to comment
MarcelP102 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hi Zoomer, I think I know why you couldn't install it. Blender 2.92+ upgraded the python version. That's why BlenderBIM now has two versions of the addon, see here for the (unstable alpha) daily build: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/releases Select the latest, under 'assets' you will find the py39 version. For support you will find the main developer (moult) here: https://community.osarch.org/ Or you can add an issue on GitHub. Note that the development is still in an early stage. New functions are added on a daily basis. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

He is also a regular guest on the osarch youtube channel. BlenderBIM has plenty of potential because it's also agnostic to you field of work. I am also impressed with the speed of development for being open source. 3 Quote Link to comment
Matt Overton Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 In other words dive in give it a try see what works for us, and if we need to spend cash to hit a certain project goal next year well, at least we know. 2 Quote Link to comment

Or just a Monterey Public Beta thing. I am using latest 293 and 300 builds It did not get easy on Windows too somehow. Did not work for 293 but at least I was able to finally install it on 300, after 5th or so un/installation attempt. And it is nice to see that OpenBIMViewer does run very well on Windows. I really love it as an IFC viewer. Unfortunately there is no Clash Detection or other analysis tools inside as the Thread Starter is asking for. But I thought there are some Open Source projects out there which are developing such things. Quote Link to comment
jmanganelli Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Quote Has anyone looked at: https://www.virtuosity.com/product/itwin-design-review-ad-hoc-workflow/ Plus: https://www.virtuosity.com/product/projectwise-explorer-virtuoso-subscription/ I am intrigued. I will test Bentley's ProjectWise + iTwin tools out with Vectorworks at some point in the next couple months. Bentley makes great tools overall. The cost and small user community and limited training materials have been concerns for me. It appears that through this virtuosity platform Bentley is attempting to ameliorate these roadblocks to small firm adoption. 1 Quote Link to comment
elepp Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I've tried BlenderBIM last week. Has quiet a bit of a learning curve. I managed to get the clash detection running, but after a while a had some errors regarding python scripts running in the background. It could be a nice free tool for basic model checking. I am also curious about BelnderBIMs capability of comparing an ifc-file against an IDS for validating the data. 2 Quote Link to comment
