Learn Docs and Build in 90 minutes

Course overview

If you’re just beginning on your journey to learn Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) or you're expanding your project management skills, this course guides you through essential Docs and Build workflows. You’ll begin by signing in, selecting projects, and opening files in Docs. You’ll navigate 3D Revit models, measure geometry, query metadata, evaluate sheets, compare versions, publish markups, and create/resolving issues. Then, switching to Build, you’ll review asset documentation, submit RFIs, close and distribute them, create and track submittal items, set up asset records with linked references, and complete installation checklists using Forms. By the end of the course, you’ll be skilled in end‑to‑end documentation, coordination, and field management workflows in ACC.

After completing this course, you'll be able to:
• Describe the functions of the Autodesk Construction Cloud products.
• Navigate the Autodesk Docs interface to locate and open files.
• Use viewing tools such as ViewCube, pan, zoom, and section planes to explore 3D models.
• Measure distances, areas, and obtain metadata with the Measure and Properties tools.
• Evaluate 2D sheet sets for room areas and quantity takeoff prerequisites.
• Compare different versions of sheets and models to identify changes.
• Publish markups and create/resolving issues to communicate design issues.
• Submit RFIs in Autodesk Build and manage their lifecycle.
• Create and track submittal items through approval workflows.
• Populate and reference assets, linking documentation, RFIs, and submittals.
• Fill out and submit field forms for installation checklists.

Instructor guide to ACC setup

This video guide is designed for instructors to help them get started with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) in their classroom. It is assumed that you have Account Administrator access in ACC and a hub. The steps in the video should be followed so that students can use the datasets and follow along with the course videos.
Note: Assigning ACC licenses to students should be performed through ACC (https://acc.autodesk.com/) and NOT the Autodesk Account page. Assigning licenses to other products such as Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Cloud Worksharing, etc. is performed through the Autodesk Account page (https://manage.autodesk.com/).

After completing this video you’ll be able to:
• Add students as account members and assigning ACC licenses in ACC.
• Create the ACC project.
• Invite members (students) to a project and assign products and access levels.
• Create project folders and assign permissions.

Students will be required to submit their work in the exercises to their instructor. Watch this video on reviewing the student work for the exercises in Build.
