Using BIM Collaborate Pro on AEC projects
Learn how to use BIM Collaborate Pro for successful cloud projects.
Course overview
Learn how to use BIM Collaborate Pro for successful cloud projects.
Course outline
Model Coordination setup
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.

Review project models using BIM Collaborate
For any project to be successful, it needs a robust mark-up and issue management system. This module teaches you how to add mark-ups to the project data hosted on the ACC project. You will also learn the process of adding issues and notifying project members about those issues, and then closing the issues once the models are updated.
