Schedule as Geometry. Time as Material.
A browser-native 4D modeling platform for AEC teams to bind schedules to 3D models, simulate constructability, and export VR-ready outputs—without leaving the browser.
Visualize 4D Models
Integrate time directly into your 3D geometry—each element tagged with start/end dates, durations, and resource assignments. Visualize phasing, sequencing, and progress in real time using an intuitive timeline slider and color-coded schedule overlays.

Visual progress tracking
Overlay % complete against model views to spot slippage or idle work zones.

Collaborate in Real Time
Multiple reviewers work simultaneously in the same model—change phasing together, annotate clashes, or approve sequences with versioned comments pinned to specific time slices.
See all of Collaborate in Real Time →- 01
Shared time-stamped views
Send colleagues a link to a specific phase (e.g., ‘Day 73 – Concrete Pour Grid B3’) with all camera settings preserved.
- 02
Contextual commenting
Attach comments to elements at a point in time, not just the model version.
- 03
Automatic change history
Revert to a prior phasing configuration in one click if a sequence proves unbuildable.
Export to Field & VR
Package entire phasing sequences as lightweight, web-native scenes (glTF/WebXR) for offsite fabrication, field walkthroughs on tablets, or immersive VR coordination sessions—no plugins required.

Connect Your Tools
Import IFC, DWG, and Revit files directly—no conversion step. Pull schedule data from MS Project or Primavera via CSV/Project Online. Push Navisworks clash reports back into the model timeline for rapid re-simulation.
See all of Connect Your Tools →- IFC/DWG ingestionLoad large models in seconds with schedule mapping auto-suggested from property sets.
- MS Project syncBidirectional links keep WBS codes, durations, and milestones in sync.
- Navisworks interoperabilityApply clash findings directly to affected model elements’ time parameters.
See the Impact of Time
Runwhat-if simulations: add buffer, extend a duration, or shift phasing—and instantly see ripple effects on crew density, equipment conflicts, or critical path delays—without exporting to a desktop scheduler.
