Thanks @Jens !
I moved your topic here as we already have a growing list of connectors to develop 
In regards to navis, the good news is that there is already a community contribution in the works!
Cadcorp SIS Desktop is used commonly in UK Local Government, housing, and emergency services. There is an increasing requirement to share BIM data within GIS systems for planning and other purposes. A connector to support this could open up workflows that are currently extrordinarily painful or impossible.

Hi @jmh welcome to our community and thanks for the suggestion!
We’ll look to see if this is feasible, in the meantime we ( @Kateryna ) are developing an ArcGIS connector

Hi @jmh , thanks for the hint! Feel free to share any painful workflows, so we understand practical application better!
Hi,
It would be Nice to have SAF connector
It’s an open excel based data base for analytical structural models that already supports a lot of software
Would be nice to expand that to speckle connection!!!
Hi @AlonW ,
Welcome to the Speckle Community ! We’ll take a look at whether this is feasible. My initial thoughts are that SAF is another object kits that is different from that of Speckle’s structural object kits… We may support a SAF import/export in the future but that depends on use cases and we need to see a demand for it.
till then, i recommend joining our Structural Objects Review Meeting Where you can voice out certain things you might see in SAF that you would want to see more in our own structural object kits.
Cheers,

Embedded 3d platforms get everywhere nowadays.
I would love to see a connector for Smartsheet. Smartsheet is commonly used as an enterprise project management tool for task tracking, project dashboards, and reports.

3ds Max is one of the dominate modeling packages for archviz. It would great to have a connector to keep it in the current workflow of so many studios.
Thanks @kholman ! I’ve merged your thread with this existing one; feel free to add your vote on top
As you can see it’s quite high on the list already. Can you please describe what workflows you’d be using it with? Eg: with wich other connectors?
Hi All,
I am following Speckle from a bit (and from the backseats so far ).
I am currently working with a consultant that uses Trimble Plankal Nova as a MEPC BIM authoring software.
They export ifc for us to link in revit, but everytime there are issues with their files, from wrong coordinates, to geometry partially imported in a place and partially in another, non-correct geometry, missing geometry, and the list can go on.
Would be awesome to have a connector for that software and streamline the link of better geometry in our revit from their model.
Anyone else with the same issues?
Thanks a lot.
Marco.

Thanks for the suggestion!
All to do with visualisation - Houdini is quite good for generating procedural textures, effects, physics etc and so having a connector where you could take things either from an AEC platform (Revit, Rhino, ArchiCad, Sketchup, etc) into Houdini, or something non-AEC (Blender, Maya, Mudbox, etc) would be useful. It would also be cool if speckle allowed for the transferring of maps and texture packs as well (potentially as attributes on objects with links stored to the textures). Currently transferring textures between software is a total pain and it would be great to see this process streamlined a bit (acknowledging that things like Megascans and it’s plugins already exist).

Bump. I am hearing more noise about Plant 3D in relation to the Water industry across ANZ and even unprovoked noises about DEXPI. Perhaps we can talk about this more? (P.s. this is Aurecon talking somewhat here)
Hi @Matthew_Randell ,
Thanks for the bump As you can see from our survey above we have quite a few software in our backlog Having said that, since Plant 3D is based on AutoCAD, maybe there’s something we can do faster…
@clrkng would we be able to port the current plugin over there?
We could add this to the open issue on additional AutoCAD verticals, I believe Architecture is also requested at the moment

I would be interested in seeing a connector for Deltek. The ability to pull information from a project database would amazing! Applying seals, EOR/AOR info, staff assignments, etc.

As far as new connectors, I’d love to see
- Solidworks <-> Speckle
- Maya <-> Speckle
- Speckle → Navisworks
