🔍 AI Tool of the Day: Integrated Projects Exchange
Hear from the leaders at the forefront of the AI Revolution.

For BIM associates wanting to boost efficiency, Integrated Projects Exchange (IPX) offers a platform that simplifies workflows for AEC teams. It helps convert 3D scans into BIM and CAD files, which is essential for project planning and design.

Recently, they integrated Autodesk Construction Cloud into their platform to further streamline their processes. Now users can transfer BIM files into Autodesk Build, Docs, and BIM 360. This integration also features a user-friendly interface, making it accessible for non-technical stakeholders to find key project information quickly.
