Revizto (from the Latin revisto meaning visual check) is a cloud-based collaboration software platform designed for BIM collaboration, supporting both 3D and 2D workflows. It enables users to communicate and collaborate with all project stakeholders within a single software environment. The company is based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Revizto was founded in 2008 by Arman Gukasyan as Vizerra.[1][2] Its software technologies have been used by multiple organizations, including the City Government of Barcelona and the XXII Olympic Winter Games Organizing Committee.[1]
Revizto SA, headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, is the parent company.[3] Its operational subsidiary companies include Revizto Pty Ltd in Australia, Revizto, LLC in Armenia, 3DreamTeam Inc in Americas, and Revizto R&D GmbH in Germany.[3]
In 2015, Revizto moved its headquarters from Silicon Valley, California to Lausanne, Switzerland.[2][4]
Revizto was introduced in 2011.[5] Originally, it was a viewing and filtering tool, but later developed into a component of technology stack.[5] Its cloud hub aggregates 2D and 3D project data, providing issue tracking, VR, clash detection, and comprehensive mobile device support.[5][6]
Revizto converts Autodesk Revit BIMs and Trimble SketchUp models into interactive 3D environments with tools for collaboration and issue tracking platform.[5]
Revizto is a cross-platform software that runs on 64-bit Windows, macOS, iOS and Android platforms.[7][8]
In 2012, to enhance its utility, Revizto added an issue-tracking component inspired by Atlassian's Jira, and debuted at Autodesk University.[5] Subsequently, it expanded its issue tracker and integrated 2D and 3D capabilities, recognizing the ongoing relevance of 2D for contractual documents.[5]
In 2015, an automatic overlay feature for 3D models was added, which increased its usage and led to adoption by larger organizations.[5]
Between 2017 and 2018, Revizto integrated point cloud support and pioneered its accessibility on mobile devices.[5] It also introduced a caching feature, reducing dependency on bandwidth and increasing project accessibility on various devices.[5]
In 2023, Revizto unveiled a mobile app at its inaugural global user conference.[9] The app is compatible with iOS and Android platforms and provides subscribers access to project data, including sheets and 3D models, and facilitated issue tracking, thereby enabling real-time collaboration and review.[9]
Revizto has introduced plugins to extract and optimize data from Revit within Revizto, enabling basic user interaction with design models.[5] The software supports plugins for Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla Structures, Navisworks, SketchUp, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Vectorworks and MicroStation on its platform.[10]
The supported formats include IFC, OBJ, FBX, PDF, point cloud (RCP and RCS) and BCF files.[10]
In 2013, Revizto 1.2 was released.[11] This version included new features such as X-ray and transparent views, visibility filtering by object type, real-time chat, and an updated user interface.[11] Improvements to navigation were also made, and onscreen cues with a help screen were added to enhance usability.[11] The software's startup time with large models was reduced, compatibility with PCs was maintained, and the handling of files was extended to include both cloud and standalone options.[11] Free applications for iPad and Android devices were also introduced by the developer.[11]
In 2014, Revizto 3.0 was released, introducing features such as an integrated Issue Tracker with automatic reporting and Revit compatibility; scene merging in the Editor; AutoCAD integration; 2D Map and Ruler functions in the Viewer and Editor; a WebGL Viewer for web use; and the option to add a Watermark in the Viewer.[12]
In 2016, a significant change marked the release of Revizto 4.0 as the Viewer became the main tool for project management, cloud synchronization, and team collaboration.[13][14] This version saw the Revizto Editor integrated into the Viewer for optional modifications.[13] Non-3D projects now had the capacity to utilize issue tracking, import 2D PDFs, and annotate within these documents.[13] Revizto 4.0 also brought with it scheduled export functions and improvements to the process of merging projects from different computers.[13]
The 2020 release of Revizto 5.0 saw a shift in focus towards data-centric operations.[10] This version enabled users to track issues without relying on specific models.[10] It incorporated features that facilitated integration with various data sources and laid the groundwork for potential in-built clash detection.[10]
Revizto's development process is guided by specific security criteria, including the integration of necessary controls and regular risk assessments, aligned with recognized best practices in systems and project management.[3]
Testing of Revizto components involves static code analysis during development and testing phases. Development, test, and stage environments are isolated from production environments and from each other.[3]
User authentication in Revizto is provided via Single Sign-On (SSO), with support for LDAP and OAuth (Google Workspace) and ongoing work on SAML implementation.[3]
RevUP is a three-day conference organized by Revizto.[15] It brings together users, partners, and leaders in the AECO industry from around the world.[15] The event features discussions on technological innovations, collaboration, and industry practices.[15] Activities include panel discussions, keynote speeches, and educational sessions focused on workflows and use cases in the AECO field.[15]
Revizto Field Days are events at which members of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) community gather.[16] The focus is on the exchange of strategies related to integrated collaboration platforms and industry best practices in areas such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) Coordination and RealityCapture.[16]
