Avolve Software Adds Support for the NavisWorks NWD File Format
and JetStream Freedom Viewer to ProjectDox
New version of project management software can be integrated
with 3D platform to promote advanced communication solution
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — February 28, 2007 — Avolve Software, developers of ProjectDox®
communication and collaboration software, has announced that the
new version of ProjectDox fully supports the NavisWorks®
NWD file format and the JetStream Freedom viewer from NavisWorks®,
the leading solution provider for integrated construction 3D
design review.
“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. “By supporting the JetStream
Freedom viewer in ProjectDox, we open the way for project teams
to centralize 3D visualization and make it a part of workflow
processes — a significant step forward.”
Users can now upload NWD files to ProjectDox for viewing by a project team.
When NWD files are selected for viewing during a ProjectDox
session, the JetStream Freedom viewer will automatically load on
demand. ProjectDox treats the NWD files as any other document,
with support for versioning, notifications and workflow
associations.
The two companies have agreed to work together to support more of NavisWorks’
advanced graphical and network-based tools for design
engineering and construction projects. Support for the Freedom
viewer is already available as an update in ProjectDox Service
Release 4 and is integrated into the current version, Service
Release 5. 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."
