New Version of Project Management Software Can Be Integrated with 3D Design Review Platform to Promote Advanced Communication Solution
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.- Avolve Software, developers of ProjectDox® communication and collaboration software, has announced that the new version of ProjectDox fully supports the NavisWorks® NWD file format and the JetStream Freedom viewer from NavisWorks®, the leading solution provider for integrated construction 3D design review.
"NavisWorks is truly a front-runner in the area of multi-format 3D visualization and building information model (BIM) data integration - they do it better than anyone," said Ron Loback, president and CEO of Avolve. "By supporting the JetStream Freedom viewer in ProjectDox, we open the way for project teams to centralize 3D visualization and make it a part of workflow processes - a significant step forward."
Users can now upload NWD files to ProjectDox for viewing by a project team. When NWD files are selected for viewing during a ProjectDox session, the JetStream Freedom viewer will automatically load on demand. ProjectDox treats the NWD files as any other document, with support for versioning, notifications and workflow associations.
The two companies have agreed to work together to support more of NavisWorks' advanced graphical and network-based tools for design engineering and construction projects. Support for the Freedom viewer is already available as an update in ProjectDox Service Release 4 and is integrated into the current version, Service Release 5. The companies will also engage in joint marketing and sales activities in the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) market.
"After reviewing ProjectDox and discussing our mutual product development and market objectives, we discovered considerable synergy and want to take our common visions forward," said Jonathan Widney, president of NavisWorks Inc. "The combination of ProjectDox and our Freedom viewer take you one step closer to communication that is unhindered by time, geography, application or file format."
