Basics of Model Replacement
By integrating buildagil into big, the entire model, plan, and document structure from buildagil is displayed directly in big, ensuring that users always work with the same, centrally stored data. This accelerates model sharing in BIM projects, simplifies access to up-to-date plans and models, and reduces the risk of outdated information. AFew readersAnalyzing and Reviewing Models with BIMcollab Zoom
Data Exchange with BIMcollab Zoom
It is not possible to analyze and review models directly in BIMcollab Zoom, as there is no seamless exchange of model tasks between buildagil and BIMcollab Zoom. The reason for this is that BIMcollab Zoom does not offer the ability to connect to other systems.
It is therefore recommended to use model tasks in buildagil. This keeps deadlines, responsibilities, and documents centralized at one location. For model review, for example, [Solibri](/en/article/anFew readersModel Exchange with Trimble Connect

Models and documents stored in buildagil can be synchronized with Trimble Connect using the "Trimble Connect Sync" program.
To share files with Trimble, you must sync the desired project with OneDrive. For more information, see the following article: OneDrive Synchronization.

QR Codes for Model Views
When a QR code is scanned, the corresponding model view opens automatically in buildagil. These QR codes can, for example, be distributed on construction sites so that scanning the code immediately displays the appropriate view in the model.
To create a QR code for a model view, you must first save a model assembly with the appropriate views. The following article describes how to create views and model assemblies: [Open & Edit Models](/en/article/overview-of-modFew readersModel Editing with Revit
