SAN RAFAEL, Calif.,
Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) announces the expansion of Autodesk
BIM 360 Design, Autodesk's fastest-growing cloud solution, to
include Autodesk Civil 3D. With this announcement, Autodesk now
offers one of the most comprehensive solutions enabling teams to
collaborate on complex projects with horizontal and vertical
structures, nearly anytime, anywhere in a single connected cloud
platform.
Collaboration for Civil 3D, now included with a BIM 360 Design
subscription, allows subscribers of BIM 360 Design and Civil 3D to
work collaboratively with project partners at anytime and from
anywhere, regardless of team locations and disciplines, including
architects, engineers, and contractors. With the existing Revit
Cloud Worksharing capabilities and the addition of Collaboration
for Civil 3D to the same platform, designing airports, rail
stations, and other complex projects with vertical and horizontal
structures is simpler and more efficient.
Not only can customers collaborate using streamlined workflows
on a unified platform, they can also perform their day-to-day data
management activities in the same place.
"Complex projects often require similarly complex teams spread
across offices, multiple companies, and perhaps across time zones,
and include both horizontal and vertical features," said
Nicolas Mangon, vice president,
Autodesk AEC Business Strategy and Marketing. "Adding Civil 3D to
BIM 360 Design responds to the cross-discipline challenges our
customers are facing on projects which include building and
infrastructure features. Autodesk strives to meet our customers'
changing needs, and this is a major shift in how they will be able
to get their work done and hopefully win more business."
The 2018 launch of BIM 360 Design for Revit brought Autodesk
customers a compelling new way to work on Revit building design
projects by allowing them to collaborate in real-time and co-author
Revit models, and then connect design data downstream to the
jobsite because all project information is centralized on the BIM
360 project delivery platform. Customers are already experiencing
extraordinary return on investment using BIM 360 Design for
Revit.
