Collaborate Pro Autodesk

[Jkobe Peoples]

HiA few things to add... BIM360 still exists. Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is a new platform that is borrowing certain aspects from BIM360 and from recent acquisitions including PlanGrid. Current licensing provides access to both so that you can keep projects in B360 and move to the new platform when ready. And, ACC is Bring Your Own License, unlike BIM360 where the project host is providing licenses to all invited in Docs.

Second, ACC is more persona-focused than individual task-focused. So there are some common tasks between personas at Laura noted. In terms of BIM Collaborate Pro, this is intended for the design person who creates in Revit (or Civil3D or Plant3D), model clash, issue management & model coordination. That person would collaborate with an owner, design subs, etc. during the design/pre-con stage for instance. Those folks would use the BIM Collaborate toolset (everything but creating in Revit/C3D/P3D).

In terms of Build, this would be the GC or Sub during the pre-con/construction stage of the project. They get tasks to manage the project, track issues, manage costs & safety; basically connecting the field and office.

What is unfortunate is that Design also needs to manage a project, track issues, manage costs and need to connect office to field as well. ACC has taken all those components and siloed the information again to make a buck. If Autodesk really wanted to make a tool for the AEC industry they would have included it all and allowed people to bring their own license to the party....

I have to agree with the other comment here. At our company I need availability to the project management just as much as I need availability to the design collaboration tab. Is there even a way where one user could have both licenses? There should be a license with all aspects. I mean the project admin gives access out anyway. I don't understand why these licenses would be broke up this way.

Collaboration with others is an essential part of our daily lives as engineers. After all, the design and production chain is more than a team of one. What that ultimately means is that any design you create will need to be read, interpreted, or even edited by others in different departments or different companies. Luckily, Autodesk Inventor makes that process easy.

Autodesk Inventor allows you to collaborate with people regardless of whether they are Inventor users or not. However, if you are collaborating with other Inventor users internal to your company, the best solution is to utilize Autodesk Vault. Vault is the best data management tool for Inventor data, as it can manage documentation for the file and even track revisions.

Now that we have covered an introduction to collaboration best practices, the next facet to discuss is collaboration for planning purposes. Listen to Autodesk Inventor Technical Marketing Manager Luke Mihelcic cover this topic in the short video below!

The promise of more tightly integrating GIS and BIM is to empower AEC firms and project owners to focus not only on what to design and build, but also better understand thewhere and why, helping them to deliver more sustainable and resilient infrastructure through more economical, social, and environmentally responsible practices.

Esri partners with Autodesk, an industry leader in design and engineering, to build integrated solutions that will change the way teams work toward more efficient and visually collaborative projects. With a commitment to seamless exchange of spatial data and 3D building information modeling (BIM), this long-standing partnership is helping to build a sustainable and resilient future for our world.

Esri and Autodesk joined forces to digitally transform how architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) and operations teams collaborate by bringing together GIS and BIM. Seamlessly connect location information, design models, and collaborative workflows in one shared view for real-world context. Improve decisions and save time on project delivery and asset operations with a more connected way for teams to collaborate across disciplines.

Esri and Autodesk combine spatial intelligence and building information modeling to create a virtual representation of the real world, including natural and built environments. A digital twin helps your organization conduct what-if scenarios and collect data in one environment to support sustainability goals, digital transformation efforts, development of smart communities and cities, and more.

ArcGIS Basemaps serve as the geographic foundation for maps, apps, and analysis. With various ready-to-use styles and satellite imagery to choose from, these Esri-designed ArcGIS Basemaps are available at multiple scales and in more than 40 languages. ArcGIS Basemaps is now available to users of Autodesk software.

Add real-world context to projects and designs by tapping into the foremost collection of authoritative, globally sourced geospatial content. ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World includes up-to-date maps and layers of terrain, soils, boundaries, and more. Coming soon, curated layers from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World will be available to users of various Autodesk products.

The promise of more tightly integrating GIS and BIM is to empower AEC firms and project owners to focus not only on what to design and build, but also better understand the where and why, helping them to deliver more sustainable and resilient infrastructure through more economical, social, and environmentally responsible practices.

The Navisworks Coordination Issues Add-In with Navisworks 2024 further extends connection to the Autodesk Construction Cloud, now providing cloud managed Navisworks data enabling multi-user participation on desktop. Save and edit Model Coordination aggregated Views directly from Navisworks. Automatic NWF management facilitates multi-Navisworks user workflows and includes Navisworks-data merging.

The Model Coordination app with the Autodesk construction Cloud enables creation of coordination spaces with the auto-clash process disabled, benefiting Navisworks users utilizing Clash Detective. These spaces provide direct access to latest model versions published to Autodesk Docs.

While using find items in Navisworks to define search sets, two 'AND' conditions do not work. Only one condition can be satisfied. Critically, I have used the same search sets on the same NWF with the same NWCs linked from the local drive - the conditions work fine.There looks a bug or some change in metadata meaning stacked 'AND' conditions do not work when files are linked through model coordination? Is there a solution to avoid to avoid making search set redundant and thereby revising the whole clash process via navisworks- otherwise we will not be able to uwe the add-in

Constant issue even before the latest update. The ACC issues are not showing. Each time it take 15mins to reload navis (due to over 370 models on this project), this is now affecting the modelling production and clash checking.

1 - Currently, you must select the clashes, then right-click to create issues from clashes. It would be great to create batch issues across multiple clash tests, e.g. from all new, or all active, etc. If so, the BIM Coordinator could go quickly through the clashes to filter out the false positive, then, at the end of the process, create all the clashes from the new or active ones. It would be great to have a panel where assigning an issue template for each clash test. That would incredibly speed up the process, as common workflows define the clash tests so that all the clashes in that specific clash test are assigned to the first model.

2. It is critical to create a clash-issues synch feature, so all the clashes geometrically resolved can be automatically marked as closed (or assigned a parameter, should the BIM Coordinator want absolute control on closing them). Manually closing issues is a very tedious process, and should be left for "custom" issues created by project memebers, not by Navisworks.

100% behind your comment. There is minimum integration with issues and clashes- which is what model coordination is for...how was this missed? And Issue pins XYZ or basic clash report exports are lacking in model coordination. If it is supposed to be Navis replacement for those who do not have the software, at least provide the basic clash features and ability to save tests and export results properly. Max The limit of 100 issues published from clashes is relatively low, and should be increased up to 500 minimum.

The plug in Locks up all sessions of Navis Manage now. In other words if one session is locked up (refreshing files or appending files, even Upating clash test), all open sessions will lock up until refresh or append is completed. Please help.

It would have been nice to have a "next issue" button when you have an issue open so that you don't have to scroll down the list to find the next issue. It would also have been good to have an option to move the pushpins if they are in the wrong position.

-there is an issue where clash viewpoint locations are lost and change. It might have to do with model locations moving. Another thing that doens't happen in BIMTrack. Please associate the viewpoint with an XYZ location NOT a model location which causes problems.

-Also you cannot update the location of the viewpoint after creating the issue. this has huge impacts because the point of using issues is that you have a history showing issue creation date. we cannot afford to have to re-create an issue just because we cannot update a viewpoint location. don't tell me to update it in the web interface because that doesn't work either. Too time consuming to go back and fourth and it doesn't actually update issue viewpoint.

-This plugin needs a separate window for viewing images. When you view images in it it expands the interface large and then we have to keep messing with the palette size every time we look at the images attached. This issue is already solved in BIMTrack
