Archicad and Autodesk Construction Cloud

[Djordje]

I just want to share recent experience with Autodesk Construction Cloud, that some might find useful.

As you might be aware, ACC is a CDE platform, widely used for project management. It allows direct opening and browsing of most of Autodesk formats, PDF, images, and IFC.

We have been working on a project that is managed on ACC, and have successfully set up a direct publishing from Archicad to ACC via Autodesk Connector. 

It is free to install, and treats the ACC folder system as a cloud drive. Just set these folders as your publishing targets, and bingo! the documents are there. When you republish, the ACC versioning of the documents is automatically updated.

One thing that we would love to happen is for BIMx to be openable in ACC. Would it be too much to expect as a part of the Autodesk/Nemetschek interoperability agreement? For the time being, our Client is happy to download and view the BIMx on desktop or mobiles.

Here's to OpenBIM!

Operating system used: Windows 11

Hi Djordje,

thank you for sharing your experience with ACC. Could you please explain how you set up the direct publishing from Archicad and what type of files they are? Is it dwg, pdf and ifc mainly? I assume you are using the Autodesk connector to set up the link. 

We are going through a similar process at the moment - the builder wants a live link between all drawings and files that come out of Archicad with ACC. If you could share your insights into the process it would be greatly appreciated.
