360 degrees of the AU Exhibit Hall
Explore our generatively designed 360 View of the AU London Exhibit Hall with Holobuilder HERE. HoloBuilder is a cloud-based way to share 360-degree views of construction sites to monitor progress. It integrates with BIM 360 Docs and BIM 360 Field—just upload floor plans and other documentation to the app, then connect them to your 360-degree image for flexible interactivity.
