Security: Folder-Level Permissions

• Multiple permission & access levels

• Restrict folders by role or company
• Control access by user

Control work sharing and design deliverable exchange with the

assurance that the right information is in the right hands
throughout the project.
Team Communication: Transmittal Coordination

• Manage transmittals and create

review packages.
• Track and review the status of
transmittals.
• Distribute and control reviewer
privilege

Ensure that your project team is always aware of the

project’s overall progress.
Accountability: Issue Tracking

• Assign work to members

• Set Locations
• Track resolution status

Identify issues in the context of designs, assign work, and track

issue resolution through inspection and completion.
 Project Complexity: Collaboration for Civil 3D

• Cloud based Civil 3D project management

• Extend design data to external
stakeholders
• Better allocate design resources

Connects project teams with centralized access to Civil 3D

project data in the cloud, with no need for costly IT setup.
Inefficient Tools: Analytics & Insight

• Track Design Packages

• Monitor Issues
• Address RFIs

Project Home provides a unified view into important,

relevant, and actionable information from across BIM 360
to our users.
