Every AEC professional has faced difficulties in transferring data between QGIS, Rhino, Revit, Grasshopper, and other platforms. Imagine if you could do it all with just one click! Speckle is an open-source platform that simplifies data and model exchange between urban design, architecture, and engineering software, fostering collaboration and automation. In this presentation, we will share simple workflows that you can implement with our QGIS plugin to unlock the power of your GIS data, including various publicly available sources. We will discuss different methods to align GIS, CAD, and BIM data, including helpful on-the-fly transformations. This will simplify the technical challenges posed, in particular, by switching between global and local coordinate systems, and between 2D and 3D representations.
