What it does
Tangible Materials extracts information from Revit models, PDF drawings, and specifications, then structures it as materials data. It performs quantity takeoffs, compares quantities with design specifications, and links decisions to source documents. Teams can upload documents manually or import Autodesk data through the Tangible Autodesk Construction Cloud app. Projects can be tracked through design milestones using on-demand data pulls and time-stamped snapshots.
Key capabilities
from the Autodesk App Store listingDocument data extraction
Extracts materials information from Revit models, PDF drawings, and specifications.
Automated quantity takeoffs
Performs quantity takeoffs from project documents.
Specification matching
Matches extracted quantities to design specifications.
Source linking
Links decisions and structured data back to the original project sources.
Autodesk data import
Imports data from Autodesk through the Tangible Autodesk Construction Cloud app.
Design change tracking
Creates time-stamped snapshots from project folders to track design changes across milestones.
Portfolio comparisons
Aggregates data across locations, building types, and design stages for project comparison.
Use cases
- Project teams can create new versions or projects in Autodesk from Tangible data through the Autodesk Construction Cloud app.
- Organization leaders can compare projects across a portfolio and identify trends.
- Teams can analyze design changes retroactively in relation to building performance.
Who it's for
Construction teams, project teams, and organization leaders.
How it compares
Tangible Materials extracts and structures data from Revit models, PDF drawings, and specifications, then supports quantity takeoffs, specification matching, source linking, snapshots, and portfolio comparisons. bimCAT Climate Action Tool uploads material types and quantities from Revit to a web-based carbon query database and provides estimation tools for takeoffs. Bim.com Design App focuses on Revit-based life cycle assessment and embodied-carbon views for materials.
