Target
Autodesk Forma (Photo Feature)
Purpose
Improve the efficiency of photo management and organization in the field.
Current Challenge
In our projects, field staff display stored drawings (PDF files) and take photos that are associated with those drawings for documentation and tracking purposes.
To manage photos efficiently, we organize them into albums by floor. However, the current photo feature does not allow users to select the target album when taking a photo.
As a result, every photo must be manually moved to the appropriate album after it has been captured.
In addition, it is often difficult to determine which floor a photo belongs to when viewing newly captured photos in the photo list.
This makes post-processing and sorting time-consuming and increases the risk of mistakes.
For example, in a 10-story building where a separate album is maintained for each floor, all photos taken onsite must later be moved manually into the correct floor album.
As the number of photos increases, the workload grows significantly.
Request
Please add the ability to select the target album when taking photos with the Photo feature.
Expected Benefits
Allowing users to specify the target album at the time of capture would provide several benefits:
- Reduce the effort required for photo organization
- Prevent photos from being filed in the wrong album or left unclassified
- Reduce the administrative burden on field personnel
- Improve photo management quality in projects with large volumes of photos
This enhancement would be especially valuable for large projects involving multiple floors or areas, where thousands of photos may be managed throughout the project lifecycle.
If you face similar challenges, please consider voting for this idea.
Thank you for your consideration.
