Hi,

I do not really get it what is the difference between ToDo and BCF Topics? Is it just the fact that you get the 3D view from the model, is that something that usually you cannot export/import when using ToDos?

And what about the long play is with this? Do you plan to allow 3rd party integrations/plugings for BCF servers like BIMcollab or BIMtrack to work interactively with this?

Hello,

Here are some of the main differences between the BCF Topics and ToDos:

1. BCF Topics is designed to be compatible with the industry standard BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) for BIM issue management
2. BCF Topics supports BCF-API standard v2.1 for connected BIM issue management workflows between Trimble Connect and other standard compatible BIM applications
3. BCF Topics has an import & export feature for connected BIM issue management workflows between Trimble Connect and other applications using BCF v2.1 standard .BCF files (BCF-XML standard v2.1)
4. BCF Topics settings allows configuring Type, Status, Priority and Tag values to meet project specific workflow needs

For more information about the Connect BCF Topics BETA, please see the introduction video and the Connect BCF Topics API BETA.

Kind regards,
Jari
