Currently Glue provides good practical solution for creating Markups based on the models, BUT currently there is no tool available to administer these Markups. The project I am working on it is really important to generate reports for the Markups created in Glue. It will be good if Autodesk develop this further so these markups can be administered effectively. On a small scale project it might not less of an issue, but on a large scale project it is very difficult to manage the large number of Markups.
We chose BIM 360 Glue for commenting purpose; previously we were commenting on the design models using Navisworks and share the XML file. Now we started using Glue for comments, but unfortunately we can not generate a report for the markups create in Glue. Key purpose for us to generate a report is to document the issues and tracking the issues with the responses.
To overcome this issue; I have introduced a folder structure, and Markup naming convention which everyone need to follow when creating a new issue. Then take a snapshot of every issue and manually create a report, which is taking double amount of time in comparison with using Navisworks.
B.C.F manager allows to create an issue, assign it to the correct team member, track the status of the issue. Reports can also be generated in BCF.
I think if BIM 360 Glue allows to create Markups and track the status, it will become a remarkable product. More importantly a reporting tool, which allow us to see which Markups are still outstanding, which Markups are resolved & closed, which Markups are assigned to who.
At the moment I am still struggling to manage the Markups effectively for the project I am working on. I will be grateful if Autodesk can consider to develop the reporting functionality for mark ups and be able to track the status of the Markups. The problem is Markups are increasing in numbers every day, without having audit / reporting tools available I don't know how we can manage them.
