Raymond,

That is a major problem, software company believe they don't need the user's input and that all software can be used out of the box.

A few years ago I was involved in a project to bring 3D parts to one of the 3D design tools. This was financed by a large corporation for its internal use. The 3D design software didn't get involved, not in their business!

Vincent thanks for your reply.
We have looked at various software packages including Revit, Inventor, Synchro and others. The model have to be build in design software; we use 3D scans where as-built information is not available and model in 3D using Inventor and Revit. The challenge is that the schedule integration has to be done using the design software e.g. Revit and then exported to Navisworks for viewing with the Freedom 2019 edition after the 4D integration.
This is okay on projects where we do the design from an Engineering perspective, however very few clients have updated as-built 3D models for e.g. shutdown planning and it is not financially viable to do 4D in such a case. The assumption we make is that 4D currently is only practical where active design work is involved and not on smaller-scale projects and therefore the practicality from a value-add perspective is in question on these projects.
