BIM-GIS software

usBIM.gis is not a simple GIS software because it also has all the advantages of the integrated usBIM system.

In particular:

• you have a fully on-line application at your disposal;
• you don’t need to install any software;
• It’s free;
• all your work is saved on a secure cloud service enabling you to access your data from anywhere and from any device (PC, tablet, smartphone);
• connect BIM documents and models from the usBIM cloud service directly to the maps;
• navigate BIM models integrated in a given map directly with usBIM;
• work on the same document simultaneously with other colleagues too;
• share your documents by sending a simple link through the integrated chat service (usBIM.chat);
• even geolocalize very complex IFC models.

Yes, you can easily create GIS maps from scratch and customise them according to your needs with different layers and markers.

In order to create a new GIS map with usBIM.gis, you don’t need any other licensed software for managing GIS files.

All that you need is:

• access to usBIM;
• click on the "New document" icon to add a new file;
• choose the type of file, in this case a 'GIS map';
• choose the map type from OpenStreetMap™, Esri.WorldImagery™, GMaps-Streets™, GMaps-Satellite™, GMaps-Terrain™;
• draw lines, polylines and polygons as required;
• create and associate new layers;
• insert markups directly on the map;
• when you have finished your work, you can save the draft in usBIM or export the map in the standard. GeoJSON format.

Yes, you can attach any BIM model on the GIS map but also different kinds of files such as images, PDF documents, IFC files and all documents useful to add information to your work.

You can associate your 3D model with the elements inserted in the map (polylines, polygons, markers) and geo-localize it according to your needs.

To place a BIM model on your GIS map simply:

• upload the 3D model to the usBIM.platform, in any format (e.g. EDF, RVT, IFC, SKP, etc.);
• open the GIS map;
• select the element directly on the map and associate the BIM model;
• click on the icon in the top right-hand corner;
• drag&drop the 3D file or add it manually by clicking on the "+" icon.

Con usBIM.gis you can:

• import maps in the .GeoJSON format;
• create maps linked to BIM models from OpenStreetMap™, Esri.WorldImagery™, GMaps-Streets™, GMaps-Satellite™, GMaps-Terrain™;
• insert graphical elements and annotations such as lines, rectangles, texts, polygons and markers;
• create one or more customised layers;
• add customised properties to maps;
• connect document links from the cloud platform to create true thematic maps of the BIM model;
• collaborate and work with several people in real time and on the same document;
• export documents in the .GeoJSON format.

Of course, the usBIM system allows you to work on the same document with your co-workers, even simultaneously. In this way everyone can participate seamlessly to modify, insert markers or other elements on the map and compare notes in real time, even if you are not physically working in the same place.

To start a collaboration session, simply share the GIS map link with your colleagues. usBIM.gis already provides all the tools necessary: use the integrated messaging system to exchange messages, files and the link to the GIS map.

A quick click on the link received through the chat and messaging service, allows you to access the document and start working and downloading files to your device. There’s no need to have other software applications installed.
