BIMfx is an intelligent indexing system that gives unique IDs to building-asset data and ties those IDs to points in a BIM file, such as Autodesk Navisworks. Contractors fill in the data during construction so that BIMfx can index the assets as they are installed. Then, the facilities-info-packed Navisworks file can be shared using StratusVue's cloud-based service or viewed using other BIM viewers, such as Autodesk BIM 360 Glue. BIMfx decreases the time it takes to update a model with edits because it syncs only the edits made and not the entire model. If a field is left blank, the software indicates which party should fill it out.

"If a contractor doesn't fill in the list, the owner can see who hasn't filled in blanks," says John Goecke, StratusVue president. He says BIMfx builds upon the "computer operation building info exchange" (COBie) concept of collecting fields of data for owner takeover, but it goes a step beyond COBie by offering more dynamic fields of data entry based on specific job requirements. "COBie happens after the project is over," says Goecke. But since COBie is based primarily on spreadsheets and isn't linked to project or document management solutions, it has been difficult to implement in practice. "It's done at the end of a project. Everyone wants to go home."
