TurboSite v2.5 Upgrade Adds First Ever Video Markup to PDF files And BIM Support

IMSI®/Design released upgrades for TurboSite® Pro and TurboSite Plus, the award-winning apps for field reporting.

Exposing BIM properties and displaying 3D section cuts lead the list of new features for TurboSite Pro v2.5.

Both TurboSite Pro and TurboSite Plus v2.5 get the ability to add maps to drawings and, for the first time, mark up 2D PDF files with playable video that is directly inserted into the portable document format. No other mark up application in AEC -- whether on mobile or desktop -- has this powerful capability.

Innovative GeoMarks™ are one of the powerful features that set TurboSite apart from other mobile AEC apps, allowing architects, engineers, and construction professionals to richly document findings in the field with videos, audio, photos, and text notes. A field report can be immediately shared electronically in a variety of ways, including "dynamic" PDF, HTML, and using TurboSite® Standard as a freely-distributed reader. A user can also print a customized report and distribute hardcopy the traditional way.

New features in TurboSite Pro and Plus version 2.5 include:

TurboSite® Pro v2.5

  • Select and display BIM/Object Properties in DWF files
  • 3D Section cuts for interior/internal visualization
