Bring your BIM models to life.

1 Visicon is about simplicity, speed, instant access to model data and beautiful graphics. Bring your BIM models to life. Visicon is a collection of productivity tools built around a powerful BIM model explorer. Designed for AECO professionals that need to interact with 3D BIM models, it offers practical solutions to streamline day-to-day BIM tasks. Whether you are trying to simply understand a model you received, manage changes, carry out quality control, coordinate with project members, quickly extract quantities, analyze the model, or visualize data, Visicon is the right BIM solution for you. Visicon is not intended to replace enterprise-level collaboration platforms. Instead, it addresses your basic requirement of having to quickly and efficiently understand and act on any BIM model from Revit, IFC, ETABS, ADAPT and more.

2 Visicon workflow examples: Revit model explorer Use the one-click option to open any Revit model (versions ) and explore it using Visicon s powerful and flexible viewer. Use built-in colorization modes to get instant quality control feedback. Key model data is pre-sorted and ready for you to navigate. Combine multiple Revit models or any other supported BIM model format. Share your Revit model with anyone using the highly compressed VXF file format that reduces Revit file sizes by more than 90% without any loss of data. Others can view your Revit models and any comments/markups you have added using the free version. ETABS model explorer Directly open E2K files to view ETABS models. All geometry, material properties and loads are visible and easily accessible with amazing graphics for presentations. Define and save multiple views. Run quantity reports, compare two models, measure, or markup the models. Use the Visicon VXF file to share your ETABS models. Run Visicon Expressions to identify any targeted information about your models. ADAPT model explorer Open ADAPT INP exchange files to view the analysis model, including loads, rebar and tendons. Use Visicon to present your design intent, coordinate with other disciplines and check the quality of your models. Merge the ADAPT model with mechanical or other BIM models for clash detection and improved coordination. IFC model explorer Navigate the model, cut sections, create annotations, extract quantities, or run clash detection. Key model parameters like component type and material are pre-sorted. Markup and coordinate It has never been easier to markup your BIM models and communicate coordination issues with other team members. Simply create custom views, add 3D measurements, annotate, and then either distribute a PDF summary report or the Visicon model itself.

3 Save time and improve coordination effectiveness by directly marking up your BIM models and not static 2D PDFs. Extract quantities Quantify what s in your BIM model by using Visicon s dynamic inventory feature or run detailed XLS reports. The dynamic inventory tool gives you instant quantity information on any selected components. The inventory report is fully customizable and lets you extract and group quantities the way you need them. Change management Use Visicon to manage constantly changing BIM models. Run a detailed tabular report comparing every attribute of two models, create a variance report against any quantity type (e.g., volume, length), check for changes in any specific component parameter (e.g., supplier), or visualize 3D geometric changes using the Boolean Difference operation. Visualize data Gain insight into the details of your BIM model by applying Rules. Rules run expressions you create and apply visibility conditions to their results. For example, identify all beams that are of material type X and have a length to depth ratio greater than 15. Combine rules in rule sets to carry out more complex model data visualization. Rules and other custom logic you define can be saved as templates and reapplied to new models, saving you configuration time. Import and visualize external data Visicon lets you import and attach external project data, for example delivery date of equipment, and attach it to the components in your BIM model. Run Rules to visualize this data on your BIM model for more effective coordination sessions, presentations, and general analysis of your model. All data can also be exported in any format to an XLS spreadsheet for post-processing.

4 Check model Visicon includes model checking operations: filter-based, clash test, find duplicates, clearance check, Boolean difference, and variance check. Run these operations to automate model validation tasks. Each operation is configurable to only analyze those components that are relevant, within one model or across multiple merged models. The results of each operation are organized as Issues you can assign and track using the Issue tracking feature. Track and resolve issues Efficiently document, track and resolve coordination issues. Issues can be linked to components, assigned to users, and tracked. Communicate more clearly by creating multiple views and markups for each issue. Run a summary report of outstanding issues or view them in the Dashboard. Use collaboration to save even more time. Collaborate Visicon is focused on supporting fast, work-in-progress collaboration. Create and share copies of your model with other project members in less than a minute. Resolving BIM issues on the fly has never been easier. You can issue Visicon licenses for others as part of your collaboration setup. A central model helps control all users feedback, updates, and changes. Run reports One of the most valuable features Visicon offers is the extraction of detailed and structured reports. The reports included are a variety of PDF and XLS reports that present your markups, summarize issues, tabulate coordinates, give quantities, or organize any of your model parameters. Tributary load takedown Use the patented tributary load takedown algorithm to determine load paths for your structural BIM models. Visualize the load paths to better communicate horizontal and vertical irregularities in your model. Columns and walls are colorized based on the magnitude of the tributary area they are estimated to support. This is a great tool to help understand the structural composition of your project.
