Autodesk Docs (also known as BIM 360 docs) has become part of the Autodesk AEC Collection.
Autodesk Docs provides users with seamless navigation and integrated workflows to create a single source of truth across the project lifecycle. This new functionality will allow hundreds of thousands of existing AEC Collection customers to share, manage, and review designs and models in the cloud. It was previously called BIM 360 Docs, so firstly let’s understand BIM 360.
So first off, What is BIM 360?
- BIM 360 is a unified platform connecting your project teams and data in real-time, from design through construction
- It supports informed decision-making and leading to more predictable and profitable outcomes
- Reduce risk, improve quality, and deliver projects on time with collaborative working
If you don’t have an Autodesk collection you can purchase BIM 360 separately and a BIM 360 user can be invited to use BIM 360 without purchasing a service agreement under their own company.
So what is Autodesk Docs?
Autodesk Docs is a cloud-based document management solution that provides teams with the ability to publish, manage, review and approve project information on a common data platform with unlimited storage. With anytime, anywhere access to the latest information, teams can reduce errors, make informed decisions, and improve project outcomes. It allows users to:
- Access construction document management software
- Share, view, markup, and manage your construction drawings, documents, and models
- Get anytime, anywhere access to project information in one place
- Reduce errors, make more confident decisions, and improve project outcomes.
