Nextspace is a Platform as a Service software solution for the integration of BIM, CAD, EAM, GIS data into digital twins. Data providers include Autodesk, Aveva, ESRI, Hexagon, Maximo, Microsoft, and SAP.
To use the Nextspace platform, you’ll need a desktop or laptop with stable internet connection, running a Chromium or WebKit browser with WebGL support—such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. We recommend a system with at least 4GB memory on a PC running Windows 10, or a Mac on MacOS 10.14 Mojave or newer.
