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)

It would be great if there was a webinar or guide specifically about using BIM360 for design team model sharing. I get invites for many but they are too general and seem to be showing all the features.

Also, the naming of products is confusing. A360, BIM360, BIM360 Collaboration, BIM2360 Teams... I

Good morning to all, The renaming of BIM 360 product has brought a lot of confusion but it has settled and it is as follows BIM 360 Design Collaboration: You need this if you are Worksharing on the cloud (working on Revit models) This is the equivalent to the old C4R but on steroids. You don't necessarily need to use the modules itself as it is meant to control how and when your design consultants will get Revit updates. Alternatively, you can work directly from BIM 360 Document Management and link to each other's models or copies of them, but remember that you will need BIM 360 design collaboration regardless of this. BIM 360 Document Management: This module is automatically added to Design collaboration because it is where the files are stored and where you would create teams for the purpose of sharing and consuming. This module can also store other project data like Office 365 documents, photos, pdf and more. BIM 360 Model Coordination: This is a Clash Detection Module. If you only use Navisworks for clash detection, then you might want to think about purchasing a license of Model Coordination and keep it all in the same environment. BIM 360 Field and BIM 360 Project Management: This is modules dedicated to Construction Management tasks. I offer BIM 360 Training and Implementation services.

Michelle, I agree with you! I am in a current battle of transferring files with the Design Team 360 to our 360 (General Contractor) to share. We are using 360 Sync from Applied Software that automates the transfer process weekly, at a set time. This eliminates the entire download and upload process of any/all files. Very beneficial. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! [email protected]

Question on: Fieldwire by Hilti

Is there support for Galaxy Note phones?

Wondering if it is easy to use the stylus for markups and such.

Hi Chad, Galaxy Note devices run Android & so should be supported by Fieldwire (as long as it runs at least Android 5.0). We don't do anything special for the stylus but they should be able to use that for interacting with the app. Basically, the stylus should be able to do anything that a finger can. Let us know if you have any other questions. Charlie

Question on: PlanGrid

How do you see the integration between BIM 360 and PlanGrid working out?

When do you use PlanGrid and when do you BIM 360

At this point we do not use BIM 360. I do not see the need for it's use with the way we operate. From my review of BIM 360 I see many advantages to using both systems in the field.
