Project Alexandria – BIM360 with 2D Document Management and Issue Tracking

Luke Johnson

A recent Youtube upload gives us a teaser-style look at what some of the features of Project Alexandria may be, including:

  • part of BIM360 platform
  • handling 2D documents like plans, drawings etc
  • ability to create and assign issues
  • iPad implementation, possibly able to attach photos to issues etc

This is a competitive market now… Revizto has a good head start on some of this, and FieldLens has a nice mobile implementation. So, the question is, will Project Alexandria (BIM360 Docs??) be compelling enough?

Workarounds for Gluing problem models, and Direct Links to updated BIM 360 Add-Ins

Luke Johnson

If you are having trouble getting a particular NWC uploaded to Glue, here are some steps to try:

  • you can open it in Navisworks, export to DWF and try Uploading that using the Glue client
  • you could open it in Navisworks 2015 and then Glue It from there. Unfortunately, there is no ‘Glue It’ addin available for Navisworks 2016. As I understand it, the new Glue sync features in 2016 mean that a simple Glue It button for Navisworks will not be available in Navisworks 2016.

Also, there are new addins available today (11 May 2015):

Getting in the mood for AU2014

If you are suffering “Autodesk University Excitement Fade”, maybe my tweets about the AU Extension in Australia might help get you back in the mood for learnin’…

Data Sovereignty and Autodesk Cloud Products like BIM360 (at AU2014 AUx)

Luke Johnson

Who owns and can potentially access your project data in the cloud? What are the legal implications? Many potential users of BIM360 and other products are concerned about this. Here is Scott Reese (Vice President, Cloud Platforms & Operations at Autodesk) speaking about this during a Q and A session at the Autodesk University 2014 Extension in Sydney, Australia on 10 November 2014.
