Success Plan: Document Management for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Maturity 2

Welcome to Model Coordination Setup for Automatic Clash Detection. Cloud-based collaboration fundamentally changed the way the AEC industry worked by allowing various disciplines to work in a real collaborative way. The Model Coordinate module, which is included in the BIM Collaborate Pro and BIM Collaborate offerings, takes it to the next level by allowing the teams to automatically detect, review, and resolve clashes on their projects. In this module, you learn how to activate the Model Coordination service on a cloud-based project and then create one or multiple Coordination Spaces. You then understand the file formats that can be used for clash detection using the Model Coordination module. You then set up and upload Autodesk Revit models for automatic clash detection. Finally, you familiarize yourself with the Model Coordination Interface.

This module takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. By the end of the module, you should be able to: 

• Activate the BIM 360 Model Coordination Service and create Coordination Spaces 
• Set up Revit models for Automatic Clash Detection
• Familiarize yourself with the Model Coordinate Interface

• Activate service coordination spaces
• Set up Revit models
• Model Coordination interface
• Model Coordination setup - Quiz
• Model Coordination setup - Summary

Using cloud-based software for document management enables remote teams working on-site to easily connect with those working in the office or from home. In this module, you learn how to upload document sets and models to Autodesk Docs and issue them to project team members. This connectivity helps to prevent rework, as all documents are stored in one central location, and promotes a more streamlined process for distributing and sharing files.

• Create folders in Autodesk Docs 
• Evaluate where to upload data based on its type and requirements 
• Upload project data to the Project Files Location 

• Upload Models and Documents to the Cloud Using Autodesk Docs
• Upload Models and Documents to the Cloud Using Autodesk Docs - Quiz

In this module, you will learn how to synchronize changes from Revit with the cloud to make sure all updates on the model can be accessed by everyone on the internal/external teams using Autodesk Docs.

• Sync Revit changes back to the cloud central file 
• Initiate collaboration to the cloud on a Revit model
• Understand the difference between syncing changes to the cloud and publishing the latest to Docs 

• Synchronize Changes with the Cloud
• Synchronize Changes with the Cloud - Quiz
