Project stakeholders can now access critical
model data with fewer steps; powerful new features provide greater
control over cost and schedule management
NEW
ORLEANS, Sept. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk
University – Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced a suite
of new capabilities across Autodesk Construction Cloud, making it
easier for construction project teams to use and maximize the value
of BIM from the office to the field. The enhancements provide all
stakeholders with immediate access to model data and information
that's relevant, empowering team members to simplify workflows and
make critical decisions faster. Also announced today are
significant advancements to Schedule and Cost Management
capabilities within Autodesk Build, the comprehensive construction
management and field collaboration solution of Autodesk
Construction Cloud, aimed at helping customers deliver construction
projects on time and on budget.
"To stay in command of increasingly complex and demanding
construction projects, we need to ensure teams can work from the
latest information and quickly make informed decisions," said
James Mize, VDC and digital delivery
specialist at CRB Group. "The model is a great source of truth
during design and planning, but data isn't easily transferred to
construction teams during the build phase of a project. With the
new model-based capabilities added to Autodesk Construction Cloud,
we can use live Revit data to create assets, tie model properties
directly to the assets, and view all the information we need in
either 2D or 3D. We're now able to take full advantage of model
data to save time across all projects, minimize miscommunication
and make smarter business decisions."
Model data made easier for every stakeholder with new
Autodesk Construction Cloud releases
With the new
advancements launched across Autodesk Construction Cloud today,
construction teams can get immediate access to and work more easily
with BIM data, empowering stakeholders to use model data to
identify potential project impacts, operate more efficiently and
make better decisions.
- Model-Based Workflows in Assets – Assets in Autodesk
Build are now mapped and visualized in 3D using the latest design
model, providing field teams with up-to-date asset tracking and
equipment details. This simple automation helps to prevent errors
associated with outdated model data and makes it easier to connect
assets to RFIs, Submittals, Issues, Schedule, and other
workflows.
- Model Property Breakdown – Massive design files can now
be parsed out into more digestible portions by creating custom
views of model properties that are relevant to that day's work.
Now, customers can simply select or deselect elements including
levels, property categories, rooms, disciplines, objects, or a
custom property, to create a more readily and easily shareable view
of the model. Model Property Breakdown will be available in
Autodesk Build, Autodesk BIM Collaborate and Autodesk Docs. Read
more and watch a video about this new feature on our blog.
- Publish to the Field – VDC teams in Autodesk BIM
Collaborate can create and share ad hoc views and sign-off models
with field stakeholders using a mobile device, all without leaving
Autodesk BIM Collaborate. Paired with Model Property Breakdown,
these tools remove manual steps, simplify model data for the field,
and save time for the entire project. Publish to the Field is
currently in open beta.
- Extended File Support for Mobile – Now customers can use
their mobile app at the jobsite to navigate and interact with an
expanded list of supported 2D and 3D design file types, including
DWGs and 2D RVTs.
- Reality Capture in Autodesk Construction Cloud – Files
from reality capture such as laser scans or photogrammetry can now
be brought directly into Autodesk Construction Cloud, enabling VDC
teams to record precise measurements, aggregate with other models,
identify and resolve issues, take progress snapshots, and provide
comprehensive closeout documentation. For example, using reality
capture methods like laser scanning or photogrammetry, project
teams can create and work with 3D models of existing structures,
such as for new builds with existing facades or capturing existing
conditions for infrastructure projects, all within Autodesk
Construction Cloud.
"Design files are packed to the brim with essential data, but
each project stakeholder needs something different from the model,"
said Ilai Rotbaein, senior director, research and development,
Autodesk Construction Solutions. "The advancements we're announcing
make it easier to access model data, removing unnecessary steps and
ensuring the latest information is directly in the hands of those
who need it, whether they're in the office, the trailer or out in
the field. Autodesk is empowering our customers to truly connect
design to construction and drive tight collaboration across the
entire project lifecycle."
Autodesk Build continues gaining industry traction,
consistently enhanced based on customer feedback
In the 18
months since Autodesk Build was released, Autodesk Construction
Cloud customers have created more than 50,000 projects in the
construction management and field collaboration solution – up from
8,000 in July 2021. There have also
been more than 300 improvements made to Autodesk Construction Cloud
products in the last year to bolster performance, simplify workflow
configurations, and make data access easier.
Additional enhancements now available in Autodesk Build include
new workflows for project management and financials, such as:
- Performance Tracking in Cost Management – With the new
Performance Tracking toolset in Cost Management, self-performing
contractors can analyze productivity and cost data in 'near'
real-time to gain clear visibility into the potential risk of
schedule delays and cost overruns to enable accurate forecasting.

blog.
- Schedule Compare and Version Control – Robust version
compare now allows users to visually compare up to five different
versions of a schedule to quickly identify activity changes. New
version control capabilities introduced today include a change
history log and unique distribution lists for each schedule
update.
