The Autodesk® BIM 360™ Layout app for Android and BIM 360™ Document Management web service provide construction contractors the ability to connect the coordinated model to the field layout process, helping to increase job site productivity while improving the accuracy of staked or installed building components.
The app synchronizes with your BIM 360 account to download and upload project models with point location coordinate detail. Once paired with a robotic total station or GPS device, BIM 360 Layout on your Android™ tablet guides the user to the exact location of those points on the job site for field staking, verification and as-built collection.

NOTE: The BIM 360 Layout app is currently directly compatible with the following positioning hardware:
Topcon LN100W(BT model), LN-150, DS200, PS, GT Series; Sokkia SX, IX Series
Leica iCON 50/60/70/80 and iCT30; Viva/Nova TS/MS Series
