We would like to request a new feature for BIMx applications (all platforms) and BIMcloud integration:
Current Situation:
Sending annotations ("markups") from BIMx apps to a BIMcloud project currently requires sending to other users (why?????).
It is not possible to send annotations to oneself (i.e., the same user who created them) within the BIMcloud / Archicad project.
This limitation complicates workflows where users want to directly transfer their own on-site annotations back to the project for later processing without manual export/import.
This is a very frequent use case: an engineer or architect goes to the site with an iPad, creates photos, drawings, and annotations, and wants to see these annotations in Archicad immediately afterwards without involving other colleagues.
Requested Feature:
Enable users to send annotations from any BIMx app (iOS, Android, desktop) to their own user/project in BIMcloud and Archicad seamlessly.
Annotations should be imported immediately and automatically into Archicad’s annotation table without unnecessary messages or user interaction.
If any error occurs during annotation transfer (e.g., missing privileges in BIMcloud role), the user must be clearly notified that the annotations were not transferred.
The system should properly handle user permissions to support this workflow.
Benefits:
Streamlines the annotation workflow for individual users working on-site and transferring information back to BIMcloud projects.
Eliminates the need for manual export and import of BCF files as a workaround.
Improves user experience by making annotation transfer effortless and fast.
Thank you for considering this enhancement. We believe it will significantly improve BIMx usability.
