BIM 360 Design Collaboration. Explained. (FINALLY!)

Well.... that was... EPIC!  

On last night's episode of BIM After Dark Live I was joined by Scott Davis (AEC Tech Specialist for Autodesk) to shine some light on the BIM 360 / Autodesk Construction Cloud platform with an emphasis on Design Collaboration...  

All you need to know is we chatted for almost 2 hours and well over 100 people hung out and were active in the chat room the entire time!

Scott and I talked about the differences between BIM 360 and Autodesk Construction Cloud, How to setup a project, add members, create teams, setup a Revit Cloud Workshared model, and the three different Revit linking options... While taking many questions from the chat!

Of course, we also talked about publishing and consuming packages ;)

Whatever this platform ends up being called in the future, adoption of it across project teams is (and will) change the industry... I truly believe that.

Autodesk BIM 360

Looks like Autodesk countered VectorWork's "Open BIM" pretty quickly... The acquisition of Vela systems appears to be the final piece of the puzzle.  Personally, I can't wait to see what this will evolve into over the next few years.  If you check out the services link below you will find something new called "Autodesk BIM 360 Glue"...  As Greg pointed out this looks similar to the Vela Systems application... Interesting...
