SHARING 3D MEASUREMENTS ONLINE
Leica Geosystems, part of
Hexagon, has announced
BLK3D Web, an online collaboration
workflow that extends the
Leica BLK3D Imager by
enabling users to share 3D
measurable images with anyone,
anywhere online. The
BLK3D device allows users to
take precise, 3D measurements
directly in the images it
creates. Now, with a BLK3D
Publisher license, those 3D
image files can be easily and
securely uploaded to the cloud.
Once published, the 3D image
files can be viewed and measured
with BLK3D Web via a
shared link, a simple and powerful
tool used across major
collaboration platforms today.
"BLK3D Web in-picture measurements
make communication
clearer when explaining
issues to project teams. The
ability to measure on the fly
without having to revisit a jobsite
is very valuable," said
Megan Levick, virtual construction
engineer, PC Construction.
"BLK3D Web is a
great tool for architects and
those who draft or model
existing conditions often, or to
anyone who frequently does
renovation projects."
BLK3D Web runs on all major
desktop web browsers including
Safari, Chrome, Firefox
and Explorer. Owners, subcontractors
and other project
stakeholders with access to
the shared link can measure
and mark-up the image files
without requiring additional
software or licenses.
"With the launch of the
BLK3D, construction professionals
across a variety of
industries experienced the
benefit of images containing
3D measurement data," said
Tobias Heller, senior product
manager, BLK3D. "BLK3D
Web greatly expands access
to measurable images, driving
more informed collaboration
across project teams through
a simple URL."
Shown at Autodesk University
2019, the Leica BLK3D integration
with Autodesk BIM 360
Docs enables BIM 360 users
to utilise BLK3D measurable
images (.CMI files) in the issue
creation and resolution workflow.
Adding 3D images to
issues provides richer context
for team members collaborating
in BIM 360, and helps
accelerate decision making by
bringing site conditions from
the field into the office.
The BLK3D Publish license
and BLK3D Web measuring
platform will be available in
Decembe. Integration of the
BLK3D with Autodesk BIM 360
will be available in early 2020.

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE CLOUD COLLABORATION
Autodesk has expanded
Autodesk BIM 360 Design,
their fastest-growing cloud
solution, to include Autodesk
Civil 3D. Collaboration for Civil
3D, now included with a BIM
360 Design subscription,
allows subscribers of BIM 360
Design and Civil 3D to work
collaboratively with project
partners at anytime and from
anywhere, regardless of team
locations and disciplines,
including architects, engineers,
