Top 10 New Features in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)

 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.
