About this app
Collaboration and interoperability are core aspects of any successful design project. The ability to share design data seamlessly between different applications and stakeholders can significantly improve efficiency and productivity. That's where the Data Exchange - Rhino, Tech Preview plugin comes in. This powerful tool enables the creation and sharing of data exchanges between Autodesk and non-Autodesk applications, allowing for smooth collaboration and interoperable workflows.
Interoperability Made Easy
The Rhino Connector plugin allows users to create and consume data exchanges from applications such as Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Inventor, and Power Automate. With the ability to share design data at a granular level in a neutral format, different stakeholders, projects, and applications can work together seamlessly. This promotes effective collaboration and ensures that design data is easily accessible and up-to-date for everyone involved.
