1. Common Data
Environment
1-1 What Is a CDE?

The common data environment (CDE), is the single source

of information used to collect, manage and disseminate
documentation, the graphical model and non-graphical data
for the whole project team

The Wiki BIM

https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Common_data_environment_CDE
1-2 Why Is a CDE Important?
Traditional information flow versus common data environment.

Traditional Collaboration

Architect/ Design Team

General Contractor Facilities Manager

Engineer Owner

Subcontractor Estimator

2-2 What is ISO-19650?
 ISO 19650: A global standard for managing Building
information modeling (BIM) over a project lifecycle

 The first international standard for BIM Level 2 compliance

o Led by British Standards Institute (BSI)
o Developed by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
with representatives from multiple countries
Levels of BIM Maturity

 Level 0 (Low Collaboration)

 Level 1 (Partial Collaboration)

 Level 2 (Full Collaboration)

 Level 3 (Full Integration)

Source: Bew and Richards 2008

2-3 How is ISO-19650 used?
Why it is relevant

The ISO standard calls for project data to be

stored and managed in a certain way. As a result,
customers are now looking for an ISO-compliant
‘common data environment’ to store and manage
their project data.

Bring Your Own
Subscription (BYOS)
Bring you own Subscription (BYOS)

With some exceptions, the BYOS policy allows subscribers of BIM Collaborate Pro,
BIM Collaborate, and Autodesk Docs (through an AEC Collection subscription) to:

(a) invite other third-party subscribers of BIM Collaborate Pro, BIM Collaborate, and
Autodesk Docs (internal or external to the company) to join your projects without
having to assign one of your own subscriptions; and

(b) to access Revit Cloud Worksharing, Collaboration for Civil 3D, Collaboration for
Plant 3D, Design Collaboration, the BIM 360 Document Management module,
and/or Model Coordination on projects you have been invited to on the BIM 360
and/or the Autodesk Construction Cloud platforms.
As a BIM Collaborate Pro
(previously BIM 360 Design) subscriber:

 You can access Revit Cloud Worksharing in Revit, Collaboration for Civil 3D,
Collaboration for Plant 3D, and Design Collaboration in any BIM 360 project you
have been invited to.

 You can access Model Coordination on any project hosted on Autodesk Construction
Cloud that you have been invited to.

 You can access the BIM 360 Document Management module in any BIM 360 project
you are invited to regardless of the user limit in the BIM 360 account*.

 You can access the BIM 360 Model Coordination module as long as the project host
has enough seats of BIM 360 Model Coordination to cover your usage.
As a BIM Collaborate subscriber:

 You can access Autodesk Docs, Design Collaboration, and Model Coordination on any
project hosted on the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform that you have been
invited to, with the same guidelines and notes as listed above for a BIM Collaborate
Pro subscriber.

 You can access the BIM 360 Document Management module in any BIM 360 project
you are invited to regardless of the user limit in the BIM 360 account.*

 You cannot access Revit Cloud Worksharing, Collaboration for Civil 3D, or
Collaboration for Plant 3D, as they are not included in BIM Collaborate.

 You cannot access the BIM 360 Design Collaboration or BIM 360 Model Coordination
modules unless the project host has enough seats of those modules to cover your
usage.
As an Autodesk Docs user
(through an AEC Collection subscription):
 You can only access Autodesk Docs on a project hosted in the Autodesk Construction
Cloud platform that you have been invited to, with the same guidelines and notes as
above for a BIM Collaborate Pro subscriber.

 Access to Design Collaboration or Model Coordination in Autodesk Construction Cloud

projects requires a subscription to BIM Collaborate or BIM Collaborate Pro.

 You can access the BIM 360 Document Management module in any BIM 360 project you
are invited to regardless of the user limit in the BIM 360 account*.

 You cannot access Revit Cloud Worksharing, Collaboration for Civil 3D, or Collaboration for
Plant 3D, as they are not included in Autodesk Docs (included in AEC Collection).

 You cannot access the BIM 360 Design Collaboration or BIM 360 Model Coordination
modules unless the project host has enough seats of those modules to cover your usage.
How does this work?

 When you invite team members from other companies or accounts to your project,
your total allowed subscription pool will be the sum of your subscriptions and the
subscriptions of the invited parties.

 Access to the BIM 360 Document Management, Design Collaboration, and Model
Coordination modules is given by a project administrator.

 Access to Revit Cloud Worksharing, Collaboration for Civil 3D, and Collaboration for
Plant 3D must be given in Autodesk Accounts.

 For Autodesk Construction Cloud projects, access can be granted directly in

Autodesk Account or in the Administration experience in the product.
