Co-Author Revit models in real-time, in the cloud, via a single app

One of the interesting developments at this Autodesk University 2018 is that the center of Autodesk’s AEC universe is no longer occupied by it’s flagship Revit product, but by BIM 360 – a cloud-based common data platform for connecting project data in real-time from design through construction.

This shift is part of the company’s emphasis on moving toward a single, connected design and construction process. For example, BIM 360 Design (built on the BIM 360 platform) provides a one-click connection to Revit. From here users can cloud-enable their work by extending Revit worksharing to project teams in any location (with the right access controls), giving multiple users the ability to co-author Revit models in a shared cloud environment and let entire teams be part of the BIM process.

Join Autodesk technical specialists most Tuesdays throughout the months of November, December, and January to discuss BIM 360 Design, Autodesk’s cloud worksharing, design collaboration, and data management product for teams that use Revit.

This is one of BIM 360’s signature strengths, eliminating much of the friction involved in collaborating with Revit models. It also solves one of the fundamental problems that holds back so many of today’s construction sites – a lack of communication among teams.

Too often, contractors and trade specialists work with outdated data and error-prone plans. Furthermore, data silos, disconnected teams, and poor visibility into real-time information negatively impacts project performance.

Powerful Integrations Bring Additional Capabilities

The central BIM 360 unified platform is maturing rapidly and Autodesk is working closely with partners to integrate third-party workflow tools into the software. To date, 60 software integrations have been added diversifying what users can do through the platform. At AU 2018, a new cost management application was announced which will allow users to manage all of a project’s financial information in a one piece of software.
