Trimble and Vico Software to integrate BIMs

May 26, 2009

Trimble and Vico Software have integrated Vico’s 5D virtual construction suite with Trimble layout solutions.

BIMs eliminate manually scaling distances, calculating angles from plans, turning angles with theodolites and pulling tapes to measure distances.
