Engineers benefit from major upgrades to the , which streamline the modeling workflow for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Likewise, the creation of structural analytical models is shortened, even for large and complex projects, enabling closer collaboration between architects and structural engineers from the early design stages. The ecosystem also saw updates with BIMcloud (adding multi-factor authentication for security) and BIMx (adding built-in issue reporting), further solidifying a cohesive project pipeline from design to construction.
