Coordination normally loses its memory at every handover. A clash test is re-run and last week’s grouping is gone. An issue is republished and the assignee, the due date and a coordinator’s comment are overwritten. The Bridge exists to stop that.
The Bridge is a NexarDocs workspace inside the applications where coordination actually happens: a dockable panel in Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2024 to 2027, and a view alongside Solibri’s own views in Solibri Office. Both are installed by the standard NexarDocs installer when the matching application is already present.
Navisworks and Solibri each need their own licence from their own vendor, exactly as they do without NexarDocs. The Bridge does not supply or replace them.
Issues published by the Bridge keep their identity between runs, so the same clash is recognisably the same issue next week. The values and comments a coordinator sets by hand are preserved on republish rather than overwritten, which is the difference between a tool that helps and one that quietly deletes a week of triage.
Select a checking result or a published issue and press Open in Revit. A running Revit session selects and zooms to the elements the issue refers to, resolving elements that exist only in a linked model through the link.
The handoff is local. Nothing about the issue is sent over the internet to make it work and no network port is opened; the two applications talk over a Windows named pipe that only the signed-in account can use.
IDS checks requirements against an IFC, and NexarDocs does not pretend to validate a live RVT directly. Solibri runs the IDS 1.0 validation, failed results are published as BCF 2.1, and NexarDocs pulls them back, mapping component IFC GlobalIds to the Revit elements they came from and keeping the IDS specification, requirement and checked IFC filename with each issue.
BIMcollab spaces are supported through a secure browser sign-in for teams whose issue tracking lives there.
The Bridge is a separately purchased add-on that activates on the same licence code as NexarDocs. There is no second code, no second activation and no second seat. Adding it takes effect within a few minutes and does not require reinstalling anything.
No. It activates on the same licence code as NexarDocs itself. There is no second code, no second activation and no second seat.
Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. In Solibri it runs inside Solibri Office.
IDS checks requirements against an IFC. Solibri runs the IDS 1.0 validation, and NexarDocs pulls the failed results back as BCF 2.1 and maps them to the Revit elements they came from.
No. The handoff is local to the computer and opens no network port. The applications communicate over a Windows named pipe that only the signed-in account can use.
