Open Cloud is a toolset for hosting CAD and BIM models in the cloud, with convenient REST APIs for model viewing, data access and automation.

Browser-Based Viewing of CAD and BIM Models
Host your CAD and BIM models on Azure, and use the Open Cloud viewer to visualize your models from any web application. Viewing support includes real-time 3D navigation, selection, model tree and property inspection. Advanced features include cutting planes and display modes. Large model viewing is supported by streaming, level of detail and other optimization techniques.

Integrated Data Access
Use the Open Cloud data access APIs to query model structure and object properties from Autodesk® Revit® files and other formats. In addition, a Javascript API is available for automating server-side tasks.

Supported File Formats
· Autodesk® Revit® files

· IFC

· Autodesk® Navisworks® files

· DWG

· DGN

· Autodesk® ReCap® files

· PRC (3D PDF)

· Support for additional formats coming in mid-2020 (Solidworks®, Catia®, NX®, and others)

A Stand-Alone Solution
Open Cloud is a stand-alone solution with no dependencies on native applications such as Autodesk® Revit® or services such as Autodesk® Forge®.
