Hi @Matthew_Randell ,

Thanks for the bump :slight_smile: As you can see from our survey above we have quite a few software in our backlog :slight_smile: 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?

5 posts were split to a new topic: Revit Point Clouds not visible on viewer

We could add this to the open issue on additional AutoCAD verticals, I believe Architecture is also requested at the moment :slight_smile:

#1 Community request for Navisworks has reached an alpha release. Now available from Manager.

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

I would love to be able to send a customer provided Navisworks file
directly to Speckle ! (Like IFC)
And be able to stream it down to Blender, Bricscad, Vectorworks,
Modo, C4D, …

As it is very unlikely that my customer’s-customers would ever ever
install a Speckle Manager/Connector just to help collaboration with me …
(they seem to love or not care about their proprietary closed BIM situation)

Please add Plant3D to vote list :smiling_face_with_tear:

For file upload options we’re limited to conversions made possible by open source file parsing right now.

If I’m correct, Plant 3D is an AutoCAD vertical, just like Civil 3D, meaning it might require very little effort to get a basic Connector going…

Maybe this could be someone’s holiday Speckle hack? :ok_man:

What about Inventor ?

Inventor is a popular request for sure.

I have just started looking at documenting using the Navisworks Connector as a means of ingesting Inventor models, but that’s just one-way and for assemblies.

How do you see yourself using it in a workflow? What features would be most important to how you use inventor?

Hi everybody,

I would really appreciate a connector from 3dsmax to Unreal.

(sorry for the Unity tag. I had to put one but there wasn’t a 3dsmax tag nor an Unreal one)
Thanks

I see multiple requests for Plant 3D, so I would assume many would also like AVEVA E3D!
Civil engineering and building design is not well integrated with technical industrial plant design.

Thanks for the upvote @fsdalen.

For the time being, the main way we are seeing AVEVA content coming into Speckle is via the Navisworks connector.

Houdini, yes highly needed!

I know it’s a slightly more tricky one, but any updates on whether there could be a connector for IES VE? Would save loads of time rebuilding geometry :see_no_evil:

Hey @senorcolumpio,

There may be a possibility for a connector for IES VE, but it depends on several factors:

  • API Availability: Some software lacks an API, which means we cannot build connectors for those platforms.
  • Interest Level: If there is significant interest in a connector for a specific application, it affects our prioritization.
  • Use Cases: If there are enough workflows that would benefit from such a connector, this also influences our decision-making process.

Additionally, if you are familiar with how to interact with that application’s API, you might consider developing the connector yourself. That’s an option to keep in mind!

To supplement what @gokermu wrote, the IES team were investigating creating their own Soeckle connectivity I suggest you request this also with your contacts there to amplify the initiative. :cool_spockle:
