A360/BIM360 .MAJ File Support

A360/BIM360 .MAJ File Support

With a big push for A360/BIM 360 Glue at AU this year, has their been any talks to have the .MAJ format supported in A360/BIM Glue for user to view the model within browser?

Hello Robert,

I'm not sure that I understand the need for this request. Can you provide some background and examples of your workflow? Posting a CADmep model to Glue through NWD is approximately the same number of steps as it would take to export the model to MAJ and then import into Glue. Also, an MAJ does not ensure that the fittings are properly orientated. For example, what if the parts were entered through CAMduct?

Our project folders contain have the designline .MAJ estimates, .DWGs/.NWDs from the designer, and fabrication Spools (.PDF/.MAJ) from the Shop/Field. My thought would be if all these files from the project are uploaded to A360. Our entire project team would have access to view the estimates, .dwgs, .nwds within the built in browser navigation features. This would alleviate the need to download Fab viewer/Freedom/Autodesk Truview for the entire project team to view any specific document. Users to edit/add content within the file would still have to download the file and have the respective program to make any changes.

Interesting, thank you for that. I'll forward this onto the 360 team for review.

The .NWD solution would work, but our Project managers only have access to Estmep and do not have any access to NWC out.
