Many companies use nested links, and when bridging projects the nested links in a main model do not resolve their pathing when received by an external company so they do not display.  Please allow nested link paths to be able to auto-resolve when using Bridge. Show More

As a general contractor, we often Bridge projects with the design team and their models are typically published with links. When they are bridged over to our project, they essentially become useless because they can't be linked through the Desktop Connector because of the "zip file" issue. If there was a way to modify the "schedule publish" feature in Design Collaboration to publish without links, that would resolve this issue.   Thanks! Show More

There are several entries, but none quite explain it how I'd like. When you set up your project template, your folders have permissions. From there, you make your Design Collaboration Teams. Only, the permission levels in Design Collab are 4 levels with Folders having 6. The team creation process will automatically override your permissions in the Folder to a higher level than you want, which means you have to go back to EVERY folder and reduce permissions again. You can think of it like if I give someone View to my folder to View and therefore link to my model, when the team gets created, it will up their permission to View + Download because Design Collab only has the filled in bubble for View (which is 'level 2') instead of the unfilled bubble (which is 'level 1'). This is an admin nightmare and an access control risk. Similar to what was said here, but this is only part of it: Design Collaboration/Folder Permissions - Autodesk Community  Show More

ACC Template with Workshared Revit models - Autodesk Community Doubling down on the previous post above. With the ability to create projects from a true templatized ACC setup, the next most useful update would be to either bring back being able to Publish Coordinates to cloud models. OR  Have the ability to see all models Internal, Project, and Survey Base Points and be able to adjust them globally within ACC (maybe from within Insight/Design?) When Coordinating (or if a project location moves) there is no simple way to locate, adjust, the models when you have 9+ links. Or if everything is setup correct and someone moves a Base point and it doesn't get immediately caught can have real consequences.   OR  Having both options, using Revit to publish coordinates from 1 model with all links (and those links don't need the main coordinating model loaded in their model). Utilizing Insight so that if/when something becomes uncoordinated it can send an automated email.  Show More

Hi  Autodesk and Autodesk Community, I believe it would be very beneficial if we have the freedom to assign different members as admin for different products in ACC. The issue raised for us when our BIM coordinators who were supposed to be project members needed to adjust the settings for Design Collaboration and Model Coordination products, but they shouldn't have had admin permissions in Docs and Build because of sensitive data stored. Unfortunately the project admins who traditionally acted as project admin for Docs and Build were not BIM expert nor did have BIM collab licenses. I can imagine the same situation can happen to other ACC products such as Take Off or Cost Management. That is why I would like to request freedom on choosing separate admin(s) for different ACC products within one project.  Show More

Please add the option to download or export a pdf version of the compared view. Currently you can only view the comparison view of two sheets. This would assist with providing detailed descriptions or back up for contractors providing pricing. Currently we need to download each sheet version and use Bluebeam to overlay the two sheets. Completing all this at one point would be extremely useful.  Show More

Back on BIM 360 there used to be a detailed publish log when files get uploaded into Project Files. It also provided a detailed history of publishes we can look back to. The "details" section allowed for team members to review the log to determine where a publish fails during the extraction process. This offered at least a guide to help team members troubleshoot failed publishes and where to start looking. Ever since ACC (now Forma) the publish log has never made its way over to the Docs (now Data Management). There is a version of this on Forma that exists in Design Collaboration under "Project Status" but is very limited. It does not give us a detail history of publishes as it limits the number of cloud models you can view a history for. For the files we do see, we can only see a limited report even for those that failed on publish when we used to get a full detailed report. It only works if we are using Design Collaboration and not associated with other cloud models or file types like pdfs. After all these years, this feature really at this point needs to be part of Data Management especially when it used be available on BIM 360 and is a critical piece to troubleshoot files.  Show More

I would like to propose the ability to select and upload specific fonts for ACC documentation, similar to the functionality available in Revit.   This feature would allow users to embed desired font files into a dedicated folder when uploading or upgrading documents.   Implementing this capability would enhance document compatibility and presentation, effectively preventing issues such as text scaling discrepancies or overlapping in tags, title blocks, and other elements. Providing the flexibility to choose and manage fonts would greatly improve the overall user experience and ensure consistency in documentation standards. Show More

It would be extremely valuable to have Regular Expression (REGEX) support available in Autodesk Forma's search and filtering capabilities.   Today, users can search using exact values or simple text filters, but more advanced workflows often require pattern-based searches. REGEX would enable users to quickly identify, filter, and validate data based on naming conventions, domains, prefixes, suffixes, and other structured patterns. Show More

Problem Forma Design Collaboration is a key module in Autodesk Forma for managing multidisciplinary design workflows through teams, packages, and timelines. However, there is currently no public API to access or manage this data programmatically. In addition, there is no way to configure or manage Design Collaboration setup (teams, team spaces, permissions, and project structure) via API.   Why this matters Customers adopting APS are building connected, automated ecosystems across Forma. While APIs exist for Data Management, Model Coordination and other modules, Design Collaboration remains a critical gap, especially since both data access and initial setup must be handled manually.   Without API support, teams cannot: Automate project setup (teams, folders, team spaces, permissions) Standardize Design Collaboration configurations across projects Access or manage packages and timelines programmatically Integrate workflows with external systems This creates friction, inconsistency between projects, and limits scalability.   Proposed capability Provide a public API for Design Collaboration that covers both setup/configuration and workflow data, including:   1. Setup & Configuration Create and manage teams Configure team spaces and linked folders Manage permissions and access control Standardize project templates and configurations 2. Design Collaboration Data & Workflows Access packages (list, metadata, versions, status) Publish/share/consume packages programmatically Retrieve timeline and activity data Webhooks/events for package lifecycle actions Example use cases Automatically provision Design Collaboration setup when a new project is created Enforce company standards across all projects Trigger workflows when packages are shared or consumed Build dashboards tracking design progress across disciplines Integrate with QA/QC, scheduling, or ERP systems Impact This would unlock full lifecycle automation for Design Collaboration, from project setup to design coordination, and align it with the rest of the APS ecosystem. It would significantly reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and enable scalable integrations for customers and partners. Show More

In Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), many settings can only be set after a project is created. For example: - Sheet disciplines - Forms Sections assign - Objects permissions - Model Coordination (not available in templates) - Design Collaboration (not available in templates)   Please make everything that can be adjusted in settings in projects also available in the template settings.         Show More

Allow model viewer (viewcube) to be set to either project North or True North. Seeing as usually people set the project to project North to make it easier to work and add sections and control section boxes I think ACC Model viewer should allow the same. When using the Section Cube, even thought the tool is extremely good, by allowing you to select several elements and creating a section abox around those, having that section box aligned to true north makes it very hard to control.

Currently resizing the model browser window on ACC viewer is not available, having this feature will help a lot to see the full model name.  Show More

Publishing times for Revit workshared models can be excessively long particularly with established models. This is especially problematic for field teams working in fast-paced environments that rely on constant up-to-date model data. Show More

We create “empty” coordination models in Revit (all discipline models are linked) and do not use the Model Coordination module, as we work with different levels than those used in the individual discipline models. Additionally, these coordination models include 2D floor plans, which we also use in the Forma Viewer to display within the 3D model. To make effective use of automated publishing via Design Collaboration, this “empty” coordination model must contain a change in order to actually be published at the scheduled time. This change currently has to be made manually every time (open the Revit model, synchronize, close the model). We would like to have a setting that allows the model to be published automatically whenever there are changes in the linked cloud models. This would save us a significant amount of time in organization and daily work. Show More

I would like to be able to easily identify folders in ACC that have files stored within them.  For example if the text could remain Grey when the folder is empty but when there is content present in the folder the text color would change to blue. Show More

Currently, it is not possible to rename an incoming team in the receiving project. Duplicate team names receive a number appended to their names. When the duplicate in the receiving project is renamed/ removed, the user should be able to rename the team/ remove the number. Show More

Sharable links to files within the desktop connector.  Currently you can only share weblinks to native design files. Develop functioanlity so links to the files within ADC can be generated. This should not require a common file folder defined as the desktop connector should be clever enough to understand the path whether its a user defined location for the cache or a common.   This is an ACC issue that is not present in other CDE on the market. generating links is simple and usr freindly Show More

The ACC project Activity log is a lifesaver for BIM Managers. However one year worth of records is not enough to capture the activities in a project. A project may be paused for a year and then all the records will be lost. We need a project lifetime log without timeframe. Also, the searching tool is archaic and restrictive. Searching events within a month data range takes longer. More flexibility is needed, longer range of time or full view of all records would help.   Show More
