Currently, issues in ACC are often tied to specific elements or models (e.g., individual Revit objects, IFC, NWC files, or published views). This limits flexibility, especially when collaborating across multiple platforms such as Revit, Navisworks, and different ACC views.
Challenges
- Issues are anchored to specific elements or files, making cross-platform collaboration and tracking more difficult.
- Revit modelers spend extra time locating and addressing issues that are tied to elements or views outside their immediate scope.
Suggested Solution
- Enable Issues to Be Placed Anywhere:
Allow users to create issues independently of specific elements or hosts, so they can be opened and reviewed in any context (Revit, Navisworks, multiple ACC views). - Temporary Element Creation in Revit:
When opening an issue in Revit, automatically generate a temporary marker or element at the issue location. This marker could be cropped to highlight the relevant area, providing clear context without tying the issue to a permanent model element.
Benefits
- Improved Flexibility: Issues can be accessed and managed across platforms and views, regardless of their original creation point.
- Faster Issue Resolution: Revit modelers can quickly locate and address issues using temporary elements, streamlining their workflow.
- Better Collaboration: Teams can track and resolve issues more efficiently, without being restricted by model boundaries or file types.
Implementing this feature would significantly improve issue management and speed up processing for large, multi-disciplinary projects.
