Federated model viewer & coordination
AECOtwin
A browser-based, federated model viewer for whole projects — architecture, structure,
services, civil — loaded together in one lightweight scene. Runs in any modern browser
with no plugins, walks the model at full FPS on ordinary laptops, and opens models
orders of magnitude larger than IFC-based viewers will attempt.
Integrates end-to-end with AECOtrack: pin an issue directly on a
federated element, sync the same issue back into Revit or Navisworks with camera,
element and location intact. Bring architects, engineers, contractors and clients into
the same 3D conversation without asking anyone to install Revit.
A built-in clash engine runs entirely in the browser — no round-trip
to Navisworks, no waiting for an overnight job. Results feed straight into AECOtrack
issues so the loop from "found it" to "assigned to someone" is a single click.
Why it beats IFC-based systems: IFC translates every element to a
heavy neutral schema — files balloon, geometry degrades, and viewers grind. AECOtwin
uses the purpose-built .frag fragment format: a fraction of the file size,
GPU-friendly geometry, and load times measured in seconds instead of minutes.
The result is a coordination tool teams actually open — not one they dread waiting for.
