For the Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) industry in particular, transparent\u00a0communication and helpful feedback during design reviews are vital to ensure a seamless feedback loop with colleagues, clients or consultants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is collaboration in the cloud and why does it matter?<\/strong><br \/>\n3D collaboration in the cloud means that all project stakeholders can access the same designs in real-time and stay up-to-date on important design review feedback. Collaborating in the cloud matters for AEC professionals because it enables stakeholders to review and markup\u00a0models\u00a0on-the-go, on any device, resulting in harmonious participation. Plus, all design assets for a given project can be stored in the same place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Welcome to the cloud collaboration mini-series:\u00a0<\/strong>This blog forms part of a three part series where you will learn how to successfully collaborate with your colleagues and clients in the AEC industry. In this mini-series, we will cover three parts:<\/p>\n<p>Part I:\u00a0Review and markup BIM and CAD files collaboratively<br \/>\nPart II: Keep design review feedback organized<br \/>\nPart III: Store all design assets in one location<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3194 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/modelo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Untitled-1-01-4-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Review and markup BIM files in the cloud collaboratively with Modelo.\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Untitled-1-01-4-1024x576.png 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Untitled-1-01-4-300x169.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Untitled-1-01-4-768x432.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Untitled-1-01-4-200x113.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Review and markup BIM and CAD files collaboratively<\/b><br \/>\nDesign reviews involve lots of time, communication, collaboration, preparation and patience throughout this extremely iterative process. Furthermore, design reviews require plenty of resources to keep everyone in the loop and updated, such as PDFs, screenshots, emails and countless other marked up files.\u00a0Getting design review feedback on 2D files is not as effective as reviewing 3D models online since it not only takes more time, but does not update in real-time, leaving others behind on the latest design update.<\/p>\n<p>With Modelo,\u00a0collaborate directly on 3D designs\u00a0from the software platforms you already use every day\u00a0like Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, 3ds Max and Vectorworks. Meaning, Modelo integrates seamlessly into your workflow and elevates your design review process to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>With the Sketch &amp; Markup\u00a0feature, you can make hand-drawn sketches on any area of your 3D design, take screenshots and then email those screenshots to your colleagues for further 3D collaboration and design review capabilities. You can even use\u00a0pre-configured shapes to call out specific areas of a design, and shade them in\u00a0as well to make them stand out. Lastly, Modelo allows you to markup 2D assets, such as PDFs, .jpgs or .pngs as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5242 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/modelo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-13-at-4.24.27-PM-1024x557.png\" alt=\"Sketch on any part of your 3D model with Modelo and create redlines in the browser.\" width=\"960\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-13-at-4.24.27-PM-1024x557.png 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-13-at-4.24.27-PM-300x163.png 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-13-at-4.24.27-PM-768x418.png 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-13-at-4.24.27-PM-200x109.png 200w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-13-at-4.24.27-PM.png 1863w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for 3D collaboration in the cloud\u00a0Part Two: how to keep\u00a0design review feedback organized.
