Sync Viewpoint between Solibri and bimU.io

Solibri (formerly known as Solibri Model Checker) is a world-leading rule-based checker that analyses BIM models for integrity, quality, and physical security. bimU.io Launcher takes advantages of Solibri’s REST API to control its camera viewpoint and export data. Now you can embrace the “Open BIM” workflow by synchronising viewpoint between Solibri and bimU.io.

As shown in the screenshots below, it’s fairly easy to navigate to the same viewpoint in Solibri while reviewing a markup on bimU.io, and vice versa. To use this function, search for “Start Solibri” in the Start Menu that will launch Solibri with REST API enabled. Learn more here.
