BCF Topics Overview
Trimble Connect BCF Topics facilitate communication among project members, allowing them to discuss issues, requests, questions, or clashes, with support for model-based communication.
Trimble Connect BCF Topics facilitate communication among project members, allowing them to discuss issues, requests, questions, or clashes. These topics support model-based communication by linking discussions directly to a BIM model using 3D views and model object links. However, a BIM model isn't required; you can still create a topic and utilize data fields like Description, Status, Priority, Assignees, Comments, and Document References. BCF Topics are valuable throughout a project's life cycle, including the design, procurement, construction, and operation phases.
Trimble Connect BCF Topics is a cloud service to store, manage and handle BIM coordination issues. The BCF Topics service works as a BCF server which enables connected workflows between standard compatible BIM applications.
- An open industry standard-based BIM issue management workflow.
- buildingSMART BCF standard v2.1 compatibility.
- BCF API & BCF-XML import and export for connected workflows between industry standard compatible applications.
Trimble Connect projects serve as the central hub for connected BIM collaboration workflows, allowing you to create, store, and manage topics directly within the project context.
