Sheffield, UK, 21st February 2007: NavisWorks Ltd., today announced that Avolve Software will release a version of their online project management software that supports the NavisWorks .nwd file format and the JetStream Freedom viewer.
ProjectDox now becomes a 3D construction model visualization and communication solution that enables those in the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) market to more effectively manage complex projects. Users can upload .nwd files to ProjectDox for viewing with Freedom, which can be loaded into the browser as an ActiveX control on demand. ProjectDox treats .nwd files as any other document, with support for versioning, notifications and workflow associations. "NavisWorks is truly a front-runner in the area of multi-format 3D visualization and building information model (BIM) data integration - they do it better than anyone," said Ron Loback, president and CEO of Avolve Software of Scottsdale, Arizona USA. "By supporting the JetStream Freedom viewer, we open the way for project teams to centralize 3D visualization and make it a part of workflow processes -a significant step forward."
Avolve Software and NavisWorks have agreed to work together to support more of NavisWorks' advanced technology for design engineering and construction projects. The companies will also engage in joint marketing and sales activities in the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) market.
"After reviewing ProjectDox and discussing our mutual product development and market objectives, we discovered considerable synergy and want to take our common visions forward," said Jonathan Widney, President of NavisWorks Inc. "The combination of ProjectDox and our Freedom viewer take you one step closer to communication that is unhindered by time, geography, application or file format."
Support for .nwd and Freedom is already available as an update in ProjectDox Service Release 4, and is integrated into the current version, Service Release 5
