Powerful Tools for In-Depth Model Analysis

Methvin's BIM Model App provides fast and intuitive model exploration through tools like Plan Views for accessing 2D floor layouts, enhanced navigation controls with smooth orbit and adjustable zoom speeds, and multiple View Modes—including Wired, Shadowed Pen, and Color Pen—for clearer visual analysis. With Filtering Tools and the Spatial Tree, you can quickly isolate categories, navigate from project to individual elements, and review models with accuracy and ease.

Accuracy

Bring Insight to Every Review

The BIM Model App lets you create real-time cross-sections anywhere in your model for accurate quality checks, clash detection, and internal layout reviews, while the Measure Tool enables you to quickly measure lengths and areas directly inside the 3D environment—providing instant, reliable data for verification, design reviews, and construction planning.

Civil Tools Built for Infrastructure Projects

Methvin’s Civil Navigator provides specialized tools for working with civil IFC models, making it easy to navigate roads, highways, and other linear infrastructure. Using KP markers, the Navigator slider, Clip and Flip functions, and an optional 2D viewing mode, you can inspect alignment sections, isolate specific portions of the model, and switch between detailed or simplified views. This feature is purpose-built for infrastructure teams and works best when civil models are uploaded in separate BIM sessions for optimal performance.

Function

Collaborate With Context 

The BIM Model App supports BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) for streamlined issue tracking directly inside the 3D view. You can create issues on specific elements, assign team members, set due dates, add comments, attach screenshots, and import or export BCF files—making coordination clearer, more organized, and fully connected to the visual model.

Gain Granular Control Over Cost Projections

Methvin allows for seamless customization based on project specifics, material costs, and labor rates, ensuring your estimates reflect reality. The advanced variable-based estimating features let you set variables such as the distance from a quarry to the site or the depth of a trench, and use them in equations with any mathematical function for precise estimates. 

Accuracy

Quick Accurate Estimating with Linked Worksheets

Hidden behind each item in the schedule is a dynamically linked worksheet. You can drag in resources or worksheets from a master project, speeding up your estimating and improving the accuracy of your tender. Methvin also supports the use of JavaScript functions to automate first-principles estimates, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.

Methvin's user-intuitive interface facilitates rapid generation of comprehensive estimates, maximizing your team's valuable time. The software supports real-time information sharing, allowing project stakeholders to collaborate efficiently and refine estimates on the go.

Function

Foster Efficient Teamwork

Methvin fosters collaborative estimating, enabling project stakeholders to share information and refine estimates in real-time. This enhances teamwork and improves the overall accuracy of your estimates.

 

Advanced Estimating Options

Global Variables and Worksheets

The ability to utilise global variables in bill items, assemblies, complex resources and the bill quantity field, allows engineers to create unprecedented budgeting and feasibility costs or make large meaningful changes throughout your tender. In addition to the global variables we utilise the same worksheet logic for the pricing of the following elements: bill items, assemblies and complex resources, which allows for ease of copy and pasting between them. 

Estimating with Sub-Schedules

When a client provides a complex "Lump Sum Item" such as the construction of a "Bridge," Methvin allows you to convert this into a "sub-schedule item." By using the Pricing Module, any items pertaining to that sub-schedule will roll up to the client's item. Under the sub-schedule, you can add as much detail as necessary to price the item accurately. The client report will only reflect the "Lump Sum Item" as requested, ensuring clarity and precision.
