Layer Platform vs Newforma Usage & Stats
Layer was developed by architects for the AECO industry and can be connected to a Revit model to bridge the gap between real-world building data and BIM.
App Features:
— Contextually organize detailed project information like materials, photos, surveys, measurements, notes, and tasks into a single library, streamlining workflow and reducing time-consuming redundancies and costly inaccuracies.
— Customize a wide range of data fields to capture every aspect of a building or project, which can then be instantly accessed both in the field and at the desk.
— Connect Layer to Revit to view, edit, and sync real-time data directly to a building model, giving the entire team — from architect to owner — instant access to absolutely everything.
