BIM 360 products being rebranded and relaunched as BIM Collaborate

[lim.wendy]

On November 17, 2020, Autodesk announced a new set of product offerings built on the Autodesk Construction Cloud (Autodesk Construction Cloud) platform. 

BIM 360 Design has been rebranded "Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro" to reflect the inclusion of the Model Coordination and Insight* modules, Glue, and access to the new Autodesk Construction Cloud platform.

Hello Wendy,

What should I be doing to future proof my projects?  It seems that some functionality is duplicated in BIM360 and ACC.  How should I configure my projects in order to use the newest tools?

Hi @agracia,,

Thanks for reaching out. I have shared your question with the team, we'll get back to you.

[mmaloneyVHABU]

yes, I agree, what is what?  It's really confusing Now...

The differences between BIM Collaborate and BIM Collaborate Pro can be found under "What is included in each offering?" in the FAQ.

Hi Chris,

I'm not asking about the difference between Collaborate and Collaborate Pro.  I've already seen the feature difference and understand them.

I'm asking about the services that seem to have two versions: one in BIM360 and one in Autodesk Construction Cloud.

For Example: 

• What's the difference between BIM360 Glue vs. ACS Unified Model Coordination?
• Are all of the ACS Unified systems automatically used or is the system using legacy BIM360 systems and we need to opt in to the ACS services?

Hi Chris,

Can I get further clarification?  I have a customer with an existing BIM360 tenant site, with 10 Design Collaboration License.  With rebranding to BIM Collaborate Pro it appears that my customer should now have access to  Design Collaboration, Document Management and now BIM Coordinate (Model Coordination) in  BIM360.  Please keep in mind all projects will stay in the BIM 360 environment. 

Should my customer automatically have access to the model coordination module now?  Will it be necessary to enable the service when a project is created and then assign access to each team member as necessary?

or

Will the customer have access to Model Coordination  only when the project resides in the ACC environment.

Finally, what if a customer of mine just bought BIM Coordinate in Nov 2020 and also has a seat of BIM 360 Design Collaboration?  Will Autodesk credit the customer now that BIM Coordinate (Model Coordination) is  included his Design Collaboration license >> BIM Collaborate Pro license?

Where are Autodesk Construction Cloud ideas submitted?

The existing Ideas forum doesn't have appropriate mandatory Categories for ACC submissions.

Got this tested.

Looks like the Collaborate Pro is not a service automatically added to each project in BIM360 Next Gen. Users must go into each Next Gen project and activate the service and then as normally provide access to users.

"Should my customer automatically have access to the model coordination module now?  Will it be necessary to enable the service when a project is created and then assign access to each team member as necessary?"

Yes, Model Coordination should be able to be enabled in all projects new and existing in BIM 360 and ACC. And yes, access is provided in the same way as all the other modules.

"Finally, what if a customer of mine just bought BIM Coordinate in Nov 2020 and also has a seat of BIM 360 Design Collaboration?  Will Autodesk credit the customer now that BIM Coordinate (Model Coordination) is  included his Design Collaboration license >> BIM Collaborate Pro license?"

There are no plans for this at this time.

[Chris.Aquino]

We are working on a new Ideas board. Stay tuned

Thank you Wendy, this is exactly what I needed to understand what is going on.

It would be great to have an official written communication or article explaining the transition to Autodesk Construction Cloud so it's easier for sharing with my team. 

Let me know if there's anything like this already available.

Thanks for the help!

Why you didn't mention that you re-branded Plans into Sheets and removed them from Document Management (Now Docs), so now to have the same functionality we have in BIM 360 you force us to buy Build?

[Ilic.Andrej]

@lim.wendy If BIM360 products are rebranded , then why does this site still exist?

Which is easier to say: "BIM 360," or "BIM Collaborate Pro?" Also, does the word "collaborate" accurately describe the full scope of these services? Isn't collaboration inherent in any workflow on the platform? If the Autodesk Construction Cloud is bringing together services from design through operation for the entire life cycle of building project, doesn't that have a circular theme to it? All-around, 360 degrees of a project? Food for thought.

[zapatero.alfonso]

Hoping this new name (BIM Collaborate/Pro & Autodesk Construction Cloud) sticks and frozen for at least 10 years, so that customers won't be confused. Just a thought.

[CharlesSanchezJ]

Looks good 

[Chad-Smith]

How's the new Idea's board coming along? It's been nearly 8 months.

I have a lot of ideas to add. Mainly around bringing parity between BIM 360 Docs and ACC Docs. At the moment, BIM 360 Docs is far superior.
