BIM 360 Docs & HoloBuilder: With HoloBuilder and an existing BIM 360 account, you can log in to access your BIM 360 Docs assets/files and import them to be used inside your HoloBuilder projects. Floor plans, pictures and .dae/.obj files which have been stored and managed in BIM 360 Docs can be attached to any HoloBuilder project. For instance, a PDF floor plan residing in BIM 360 Docs can be used within HoloBuilder as a sheet.
