Autodesk BIM 360 takes Infrastructure Modeling to the Cloud

This is how we used to handle infrastructure scale collaboration, conceptual design and feasibility evaluation.

Today, we introduce Autodesk BIM 360. Autodesk BIM 360 is the next generation of BIM, is for anyone, anywhere, at any time. Autodesk BIM 360 helps multidiscipline design and construction teams improve project outcomes by moving computational-intensive tasks to the cloud, enabling more rapid visualization and simulation and optimized collaboration with access to intelligent data-rich models.

Conceptual design and feasibility evaluation service, featuring the Autodesk 360 Infrastructure Modeler plug-in, enables users to publish, store, and manage large models in the cloud. Users can invite other authorized team members to access, download, and edit shared models and scenarios simultaneously, and review multiple project proposals using the same data more securely without sending files via email or external hard drives.

I’ve created a series of videos on youtube to help you get started with the Conceptual Design and Feasibility capabilities in Autodesk BIM 360.

The first video gives you an idea of how Autodesk 360 Infrastructure Modeler can help your team collaborate on infrastructure models in the cloud.

The second video shows you how to login to the subscription center, download the plug-in and get your account established.

The third video takes you through creating groups and sharing your first model, and the final video gives you an idea on how your team can collaborate on conceptual design and feasibility evaluation using the cloud.
