Project integration in the cloud-based CDE (Common Data Environment) with the team working feature allows to:

  • dynamically open usBIM when clicking on a shared link in chat;
  • access all the advanced usBIM.browser functions directly from the chat session;
  • open a specific paragraph on a PDF document from the chat;
  • access previews of point clouds and BIM models without downloading any files from the cloud platform;
  • follow the usBIM.browser and open issues in a chat session.

usBIM.chat isn't just another messaging tool. It has all the traditional well-known chat features but also has more advanced tools for collaboration and file sharing.

Just like a common chat service but with all the advantages of the usBIM system: you can transfer information quickly and easily without physically sending any files, models or data, but by simply sharing the uploaded document as a link directly across to the usBIM.chat session members.

NOTE: The free version of usBIM.chat included in usBIM, allows you to keep track of your chat history for a maximum period of 6 months.

usBIM.chat is not just another messaging tool, traditional chat features are completed by more advanced options for collaboration, such as file sharing, large models, documents and data management but without having to transfer copies of files. Just a simple message with a link.

So, the difference between usBIM.chat and the other chats is not just in the messaging features, which are practically the same in almost all the messaging services available today, but essentially related to other unique features for sharing files.

usBIM.chat, in fact, is revolutionary as it is fully integrated with the usBIM system and makes all the information dynamically available: your hard-disk is shared with all the people with whom you have started a communication via chat.

At any time you can talk to whoever you want and show even very complex files, such as 3D BIM models, point clouds, etc., wherever you are, with any device and without exchanging any documents. All the data are shared by using simple link, written in chat.

Of course. In addition to common messaging features, usBIM.chat makes easy to share your work with colleagues.

The exchange of data and documents takes place without passing files but only by sharing a simple link that allows to directly access the documents stored in the usBIM cloud.

Exchanging files and documents with usBIM.chat is very easy.

Let's see an example.

Let's suppose that a couple of colleagues need to exchange a work file, for example a point cloud cluster of several GB regarding a part of a building in a renovation project. All you’ll need to do is simply drag the file (already uploaded in usBIM) into the chat application and add any sort of text message to your colleagues, team members to describe its contents.

On the other side, your colleague will receive the message in chat and will also see the various usBIM functions available to view the point cloud cluster. A simple click on the link and he’ll be able to view the model even without having specific software or device (it works anywhere and even on tablets or smartphones).

With a traditional system, file sharing would have been much more complicated: you’d have to transfer a copy of the document to a colleague who would then have to download it, wait for the download to complete and then view it only with specific software compatible with the native format.

All these operations aren’t necessary anymore with usBIM.chat and are reduced to a simple click!
