Model exchange with big
Basics of Model Replacement
By integrating buildagil into big, the entire model, plan, and document structure from buildagil is displayed directly in big, ensuring that users always work with the same, centrally stored data. This accelerates model sharing in BIM projects, simplifies access to up-to-date plans and models, and reduces the risk of outdated information. At the same time, the entire BIM workflow is optimized because all stakeholders can manage the construction project in big without switching systems, while versioning, folder structure, and permissions continue to be reliably managed in buildagil.
The automatic exchange of model tasks between big and buildagil has been deliberately omitted, as this would result in duplicate data sets and potentially lead to parallel editing of model tasks in different systems. This would compromise a central, single source of truth and, consequently, central control and traceability within the project. This, in turn, would result in additional coordination and reconciliation efforts.
