Autodesk Construction Cloud Create Projects without being Hub Admin

When you are first made the administrator of your Autodesk Construction Hub, you may be tempted to make your colleagues Hub Administrators so that they can create their own projects. The problem with that is that they will then have access to other projects. In the case where you are dealing with internal colleagues who […]

ACC Docs Folder Descriptions and File Path Lengths

Recently I developed a project on which I tried to scale the ISO 19650 standard on the Autodesk Construction Cloud as much as possible. I considered the vertical integration of departments in companies operating in their respective task teams. The coding becomes difficult to memorize, and I was reduced to including descriptions in the folder […]
Civil 3D WEEDFEATURES

In this short video we look at using the WEEDFEATURES command in Civil 3D. I discovered the WEEDFEATURES command when my computer ran out of RAM after encountering some heavy polylines (many vertices). We often encounter these large (in memory) polylines in practice. They might be created from some laser scan or extracted from an […]
Managing ACC Specifications Across Projects

Specifications are very important on most construction projects. If everyone works to the mandated specifications, then project standards are maintained. There may be more than one consultant that needs to work to the same specification. There may even be multiple projects on which the same specifications are of interest. It would therefore make sense that […]

Using file packages is a way to collect files from folders you have permissions in and to share them with others. You can assign package managers in the settings. You can do so by User, by Role or by Company. In the case below, I used role. This permission is paired with the permissions in […]
Civil 3D Plan Drawing Template

I am creating the ISO 19650 titleblocks for Micrographics for Civil 3D use in our company. I therefore must understand the intricacies of how Civil 3D generates sheet sets for plan, section and how to generate sheets for other views. Civil 3D uses the concept of a template (with titleblocks and viewports set to scale […]
Civil 3D Extended Data Property Sets

My expertise with BIM is centered around Revit, and now that I am incrementally focusing on infrastructure, the application of BIM in Civil 3D is one of my focal points. I endeavor to share with you my experiences in the coming months. Many of you are probably asking yourselves what an extended property data set […]
