Virtual Building Concept
All project information is stored in a central
database
Coordinated drawings and documentation are quickly
produced from the building model

Data Transfer
Traditional
All data is transferred over the network resulting in
bottlenecks and inefficient project workflow
applecoredesigns.co.uk | [email protected] | +44 121 447 7747 | +44 121 447 7788
Data Transfer
Segmented
Chunks of data are transferred over the network resulting in inefficient project
workflow
applecoredesigns.co.uk | [email protected] | +44 121 447 7747 | +44 121 447 7788
Data Transfer
Change
Only changed elements are transferred over the network
reducing overheads an improving efficiency

Collaborating with the team:
Reservation system
Color coded workspaces enable a large team to work
on a single building model simultaneously while avoiding
access rights issues and conflicts
Sharing

Collaborating with the team:
Teamwork messaging
Instant communication between all teammates
whatever their location and the ability to assign tasks and
elements to other team members increases
efficiency
Communication
applecoredesigns.co.uk | [email protected] | +44 121 447 7747 | +44 121 447 7788
Collaborating with the team:
Fine tune permissions for all team members
globally or for a particular project, for
the assignment of tasks, work spaces, and
project administration
Roles and responsibilities
Administrator

Collaborating with the team: Working remotely
Secured network connection
Communicate with the server directly using a secured connection

BIMcloud overview: Scaleable
Separation of server roles
There can be multiple servers in a BIMcloud, each responsible for a particular role allowing
for decentralized operation
Manager
Maintains user database and access rights,
directs requests to servers
Cache
Optional component deployed at
locations with multiple users, maintains a
project copy and serves requests to local users
Server
Stores project and library
data, facilitates teamwork functions

BIMcloud overview: Scaleable
BIMcloud Manager
Does not host project or library data
Maintains user rights
May authenticate with a directory service
Multi-version support
applecoredesigns.co.uk | [email protected] | +44 121 447 7747 | +44 121 447 7788
BIMcloud overview: Scaleable
BIMcloud Server
Hosts project and library data, and
backups
User authorization from the manager
There can be more than one server
component

BIMcloud overview: Scaleable
Delta cache
Caches project and library data
Connects to server for fresh requests only
Optional component for local networks with
multiple users

BIMcloud overview: Technical requirements
Networking
FQDNs for all member nodes
Routing configuration
HTTP and HTTPS used
Encryption
SSL offloading with reverse proxy
Valid certificate required
Central user management
LDAP supported
ADDS, OpenLDAP or similar required
applecoredesigns.co.uk | [email protected] | +44 121 447 7747 | +44 121 447 7788
BIMcloud overview: Possibilities
Multiple servers: optimized by project
use
Centralized user management:
create users only once
No need for local server: infrastructure can be outsourced
