In a short track R&D project, the ideal workflow, where everyone is communicating through the same CAD platform does not exist. Stake-holders such as plant owners, contractors, sub-contractor vendors, and construction teams stick to their own design tools for their own benefit.  But at the end also for the project's benefit. In this session you will find out how to turn this "black box data" from AutoCAD, MicroStation, AutoPLANT, Inventor, Solidworks, pointcloud data, and others into a central communication environment.
