We are proud to release INFR AI v0.10.18.0; some of the key features in this release include the BIM coordinated standalone (.exe) exportation, Toggle between Imperial and Metric Units of measurements and Superlayers of Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Navisworks®.

Standalone (.exe) Exportation

Interactive document or takeaway from a coordination meeting!

This has been a requested feature by our consultant and contractor clients who would want to share a standalone version of their INFR AI coordinated session to developers, subcontractors or other stakeholders who might not have an existing INFR AI license or BIM authoring software.

How do I export a standalone after I have completed my coordination session?

Exporting a standalone from a INFR AI coordinated BIM Project

After completing your BIM coordination sessions, export a standalone of your coordination using the following steps:

  1. After coordination session is done, select the project of your choosing in the imported project list in INFR AI.
  2. Click on “Create Standalone”
  3. Select save location on your machine, click “save“
  4. Standalone will then be exported (Make sure there is enough disk space on your machine for successful creation of standalone)
  5. Standalone.exe file will then be exported to the chosen save location

How do I use the standalone to enhance my collaboration workflow with other stakeholders?

Send the standalone.exe file to your stakeholders via dropbox, we-transfer or thumb-drive. Your stakeholders will then be able to use the standalone and view on your coordinated project on their Windows* Computer.

Your stakeholders will be able to use the INFR AI standalone.exe upon download into their Windows computers via the following steps:

  1. Save standalone in machine
  2. Double click on .exe file
  3. Standalone will extract to temp folder
  4. Standalone will pop up, left click to teleport into model
  5. Explore coordinated model

What is the difference between the standalone and the principle software?

INFR AI standalones act as an interactive document or takeaway post coordination, for non-users of INFR AI to be able to explore, interrogate and view model issues created by the INFR AI user.

This is why certain features have been removed in order to not confuse standalone users, should these users want full functionality, do contact us at info@vrcollab.com and we will be happy to get in touch.
