Learn Docs, Design Collaboration, and Model Coordination in 90 minutes

Course overview

Dive in and discover the fundamental workflows for documentation and coordination in Autodesk Construction Cloud. In this course, you’ll take your first steps and gain new skills used by construction industry professionals worldwide. You’ll begin by working in a project in Autodesk Docs, navigating Revit models, measuring geometry, and querying metadata. Next, you’ll evaluate models and sheet sets, measure areas, and perform cross‑version comparisons to identify changes. Then, you’ll learn how to perform a design review by publishing markups and creating and resolving issues. In Design Collaboration, you’ll learn how teams work collaboratively, publish milestone packages, review packages on the timeline, and consume snapshots to control when references update. You’ll switch to Model Coordination to combine disciplinary models, create and manage saved views, and apply model filters. Finally, you’ll configure clash settings, investigate clashes, and document them with issues. By the end of the course, you’ll know the basics of end‑to‑end design review and coordination workflows across Docs, Design Collaboration, and Model Coordination.

After completing this course, you’ll be able to:

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.
Compare different versions of sheets and models to identify changes.
Publish markups and create/resolve issues to communicate design issues.
Filter model objects using Model Browser and discipline/property criteria.
Explain Design Collaboration concepts and workflows.
Configure clash settings (primary vs. clash models, Group By, and tolerance).
Investigate clash groups visually and measure overlap.
Create Issues and mark non-issues for clash groups with correct naming and assignment.

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.
