Introduction to the Collaboration for Civil 3D Workflow

00:03

Autodesk Collaboration for Civil 3D

00:04

provides project

00:07

teams with a centralized secure cloud based platform

00:11

for managing data shortcuts, design files, and external references.

00:17

This setup facilitates collaboration across multiple

00:21

firms regardless of their global location.

00:24

By integrating this solution with Autodesk Docs,

00:27

users can maintain familiar Civil 3D workflows

00:31

where, rather than saving files locally,

00:34

they work through a connected drive enabled by desktop connector to access files.

00:39

in the cloud.

00:41

Collaboration for Civil 3D

00:43

offers a range of advantages that streamline

00:46

project workflows and improves team coordinating across disciplines.

00:52

With cloud based connectivity,

00:54

teams can access project data from anywhere without the need for a VPN,

00:60

making collaboration more efficient.

01:03

The ability to run automation for project systems

01:07

allows users to automate repetitive design tasks, saving time and effort.

01:14

A web based model viewer enables stakeholders to

01:17

review designs without needing Civil 3D installed,

01:21

while auto versioning ensures that project

01:24

changes are tracked and managed automatically.

01:28

External team members can easily participate in

01:31

projects with secure access and unlimited storage,

01:35

meaning that even large infrastructure designs can be handled effortlessly.

01:41

The platform's easy set up and seamless

01:44

coordination across disciplines allows for smoother

01:48

integration and collaboration with minimal extra effort,

01:51

enhancing productivity in a complex design environment.

01:56

In a typical workflow for Civil 3D

01:59

projects within the Autodesk Construction Cloud,

02:02

users follow a series of steps to collaborate across teams.

02:07

First,

02:08

Civil 3D files can be uploaded directly to the cloud through the software or

02:13

by dragging and dropping them into the

02:14

correct project folder through the desktop connector.

02:18

Data

02:19

shortcuts and related drawings must be stored in

02:22

the same cloud environment to facilitate collaboration.

02:27

Additionally, users can track active models through the file locking

02:31

notifications and manage design iterations

02:34

by comparing model versions within Autodesk Docs, ensuring

02:40

streamlined project coordination and version control.
