BIMcloud Delta Cache

Note: Not available in BIMcloud Basic.

The BIMcloud Delta Cache component optimizes data transfer between the ARCHICAD clients and a BIMcloud Server by caching the data on the client side. Once an ARCHICAD client downloads a part of the project, the data will be cached locally by the BIMcloud Delta Cache and offered to the next ARCHICAD client who requests the same data.

Install Delta Cache
