Overview
The integration between Novorender and Trimble Connect allows to synchronize data flow between the CDEs. This integration enables you to bring models from Trimble Connect directly into the Novorender environment for visualization, analysis, and sharing.
Note: This integration is only available to users with at least an PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR role in Novorender.
Minimum Requirements
Before starting the integration process, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
1. Active Trimble Connect Project
You must have an existing and active project in Trimble Connect.
This project must be visible and accessible to the user initiating the integration.
2. Admin Role in Both Platforms
The user attempting the integration must:
Have a minimum PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR role in Novorender.
Have a role ADMIN in the respective Trimble Connect project
This ensures sufficient permissions to authorize integrations and manage project data across platforms.
