A round up of the latest advancements to the Autodesk Construction Cloud unified platform.
1. Desktop
Connector
Additional functionality has been added to the desktop connector for Autodesk Construction Cloud which allows you to view files online. All you need to do is right click on a document and press "View Online."
2.
Auto-tagging photos in Autodesk Build
Currently in beta, this new feature allows you to upload a photograph to Autodesk Build and the system will automatically add tags which identify the contents of the photos.
3. Reverse
referencing photos in Autodesk Build
Previously you had
to add a photograph to items such as assets, forms, sheets or submittals
in Autodesk
Build. However with this new feature, you no longer need
to create these documents first.
4. Issue Interactions in Autodesk Build
There have also
been some changes to the way that you can interact with issues in Autodesk Build. There is now
functionality which allows you to bulk edit & bulk delete issues meaning
you can make adjustments to a whole raft if issues in one go eg reassigning
them to a different subcontractor etc.
5. Forms
in Autodesk Build
Within the forms section of Autodesk Build, you can now easily import existing forms from PlanGrid.
6.
Watchlists in Design collaboration
The new "Watchlist" feature within Design Collaboration gives
you the ability to monitor models. For instance as an MEP designer, you may be
interested in the architectural model and specific items within it eg internal
walls, ceilings, doors etc.
7. Project
Templates in Autodesk Docs
There have also been some updates at the account level to project templates. The range of things that can be set at template level is now broader.
8.
Templates & RFIs in Autodesk Build
Within Autodesk Build, you can now create and organise form folders and configure form templates. You can also now set up RFI roles & permissions, set the RFI workflows, add customised fields, and set whether closed RFIs can be opened, or once closed, make them available for everyone to view.
9. Submittals & Assets in Autodesk Build
Users of Autodesk Build now have the
ability to configure role based permissions, custom responses and edit
submittal types. Within assets we can now configure categories, custom fields
& status sets and map them to correct categories.
10. Creating templates in Autodesk Takeoff
Lastly, we now have
the ability to create project templates within Autodesk
Takeoff. This new feature allows you to configure project
settings for packages, including measurement systems, classifications and
definitions per takeoff types.
