For designers looking to stay on top of their technological powers, Leslie Clagett shares a list of six software applications, including, among others:

  • Autodesk A369 Collaboration for Revit: offers collaborative access to Revit models across the "barriers of corporate firewalls and physical locations."
  • Field Assets: allows access, sharing, and mark-ups to real time data on infrastructure assets.
  • SIMplexity Launch LT: connects team assignments to project priorities (e.g., owner requests, code compliance, and LEED targets).

Other applications on the list include tools for materials and color selection. Click through to the article for links to the software and the others that made the list.
