NOVATO, Calif., January 22, 2014 IMSI/Design, a pioneer in mobile solutions for AEC, today released upgrades for TurboSite Pro and TurboSite Plus, the award-winning apps for field reporting.

Exposing BIM properties and displaying 3D section cuts lead the list of new features for TurboSite Pro v2.5.

Both TurboSite Pro and TurboSite Plus v2.5 get the ability to add maps to drawings and, for the first time, mark up 2D PDF files with playable video that is directly inserted into the portable document format. No other markup application in AECwhether on mobile or desktophas this powerful capability.

Innovative GeoMarks are one of the powerful features that set TurboSite apart from other mobile AEC apps, allowing architects, engineers, and construction professionals to richly document findings in the field with videos, audio, photos, and text notes.

About TurboSite

TurboSite turns mobile devices such as Apple’s iPad or iPhone into a first-of-its-kind field reporting tool, cutting up to 80% of the burden of traditional site inspections and completely automating the field reporting process.

No more lugging printed plans into a building; instead they are on an iPad or iPhone. GPS or SPS knows where you are in your plan. At any spot users can create a correctly geolocated GeoMark and, using the built-in camera, take as many photos, videos, dictation, and text notes as necessary. Redline a drawing with powerful markup, dimension, and inquiry tools, or have a real-time video conference via FaceTime or Skype from directly in your building plan (Pro version only). Immediately share reports electronically with the entire design and construction team at the touch of a button… or instantly print a customized PDF report and distribute hardcopy. Either way, creating a field report has never been so easy.

Awarded 2013 AIA National Convention’s "Best of Show," TurboSite is available in a variety of product and payment options suitable to any size organization, from the very largest to single-person shops. Free plug-ins for Autodesk AutoCAD and Revit extend TurboSite documentation into the desktop environment.
