Revizto 5.18: Transforming Technical Reviews for Project Teams

Revizto, a renowned collaboration hub for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry, has recently unveiled its latest version, 5.18. This groundbreaking update introduces a draft-first approach that significantly enhances technical reviews within 2D drawings and 3D models, facilitating a more streamlined workflow for project teams.

Introducing Draft Mode

The standout feature of Revizto 5.18 is the innovative Draft Mode. This addition allows project teams to create and refine issues and markups privately before finalizing and publishing them. Traditionally, discussions on issues often occur at coordination meetings or on whiteboards, followed by back-and-forth emails to clarify and consolidate the information before formal decisions are made. Draft Mode effectively bridges the gap between discussion and concrete action by allowing teams to capture feedback in real time and decide on next steps at their convenience.

Users can generate issue drafts in both 2D and 3D formats, as well as markup drafts on drawings, giving them the flexibility to edit and finalize their thoughts in a private context. Until ready for sharing, these drafts remain localized to the author, ensuring clarity in communication and decision-making within teams. Additionally, drafts can be easily exported to PDF format for external meetings, maintaining the connection to the drawing, model location, and project context throughout the process.

Enhanced Project Data Management

Revizto 5.18 also enhances project data management through the introduction of Custom Property CSV Export/Import functionality. This feature streamlines the process of updating project-related information across multiple model objects without altering the original BIM files. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that do not own the model themselves but need to integrate vital project data above the baseline model.

Teams can now maintain installation statuses, contractor details, inspection information, and tailored project-specific data linked directly to the model. With updated properties organized into Search Sets and visual workflows, project teams can efficiently track progress, manage risks, and ensure that relevant data is available for any technical review.

Improved Performance and Navigation

Performance improvements in Revizto 5.18 are noticeable, with complex models loading four times faster than in the previous version, 5.17. This efficiency allows teams to enter review stages more swiftly, facilitating a more agile overall project management process. Furthermore, the redesign of the 2D navigation system offers an intuitive layout that consolidates common review tools and project information, enabling smoother transitions between sheets, issues, and annotations. Markups can now be viewed collectively, and annotations can seamlessly move between sheets and projects.

As Marc Schütz, Chief Product Officer at Revizto, stated, “Technical reviews are where critical project decisions begin, yet the process has often been convoluted. Draft Mode transforms this experience, empowering users to think, collaborate, and refine their strategies directly alongside the drawings before formalizing their decisions.” This added flexibility, combined with enhanced navigation and faster performance, aligns digital reviews more closely with how teams operate in high-pressure project environments.

New Features Summary

Revizto 5.18 includes several key enhancements:

• - Draft Mode: Users can create markup drafts in 2D and issue drafts in 2D or 3D, with the option to privately edit before publishing.
• - Custom Property CSV Export/Import: Streamlining the update of project object properties, maintaining the integrity of source BIM files.
• - Redesigned 2D Navigation: Improved ease of use with grouped tools and contextual menus for a more direct workflow.
