Construction Shifts to the Cloud

The construction industry is moving to the cloud. Shifting the majority of construction operations to the cloud may have been inevitable, but the onset of the pandemic has accelerated the pace of cloud adoption in the construction industry.

The Construction Project Lifecycle Drives Innovation in Construction Technology

Construction projects can be gargantuan undertakings, made up of a mind-boggling number of moving parts. Though such projects may be expensive, lumbering giants, they can be tamed with the right stack of construction software.

Question on: Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

BIM 360 is a vital part of are BIM coordination workflow and is beneficial for users, PM, and field personal.

It is Vital for All parties - I think the piece that is missing is that we separate Design from Construction too much and the integrated delivers are making the need to be present in both spaces very relevant. So when you make a Meeting Mins and Checklists that are part of BUILD Design teams can really utilize this processes as well before construction begins.

Question on: Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Is there a process for model maintenance of the models on BIM360?

The architectural model is overloaded with 3D views and more that I would have purged if was downloading and linking in-house.

Project models can be maintained in nearly the same manner as when located on a server, in my experience. Clean and purge like normal and then sync to central again. The only difference will be location. Instead of on your local server, it resides in the cloud in BIM 360.

If the model is on your 360 hub, you have full access to it, just like on your company server. If you are on the architect's 360 site, you probably won't have full access and would need to ask them to help you.

Question on: Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Is there a way to share files with non members so that this can be used like a cloud file site.

We use this platform to be a single source for all project files. To eliminate the need for other sites like drop box having a way to share files would be essential. Also a way to share items or files to groups would be key instead of individually selecting members.

I believe if you have an Autodesk Sign in account you can have access to a project when the Original author adds you to the Project.

Answered: Tony Gumina on March 4, 2020

No, you have the option to share by user name or email address but they have to be associated with a valid user of the project.

Answered: DeForest Andrejco on March 3, 2020

You can send files to someone not in your network via email. I does it all the time.

Answered: Rafael Rogers on March 3, 2020

Unfortunately that is not possible. Even though everyone has the same version of Revit if they don’t have a BIM license and are not invited to the project by the BIM coordinator they cannot access the file. What you can do is go to the web portal and download the file and share it that way as long as you follow confidentiality protocols.

Answered: Adam Levine on March 3, 2020

You need to be a member of the team to be able to collaborate that way. We have a corporate ftp site or use Newforma to share large files.

Answered: Michael OToole on March 3, 2020

This is available now in Project Files only. You will need to ask Autodesk to activate it for you.
