Abstract

Facilitating collaboration on a 3D model of a construction project involves obtaining presence information that identifies each individual concurrently interacting with a respective rendered 3D model of the construction project via a respective client station and indicates a respective position and orientation at which the respective rendered 3D model is being rendered. Based on the presence information, a first client station presents a view of a first rendered 3D model including a visual representation of a second individual concurrently interacting with a second rendered 3D model and indicating the position and orientation of the second rendered 3D model. Based on a change in one or both of the position or orientation of the second rendered 3D model, the presence information is updated. The first client station updates the view of the first rendered 3D model to reflect the change in the position or orientation of the second rendered 3D model.
