Historically, Civil 3D projects have been created and managed on a local server. This setup continues to work well for teams that are all working under one roof. If, however a project team includes stakeholders working in another office, or another state, or even from home, the local server restriction makes it challenging for these workers to access project files and ensure everyone on the team is working from the current design.
Today, using BIM 360, Civil 3D projects can be hosted in the cloud allowing distributed teams to easily access and edit live models. In addition, cloud based projects are managed virtually the same as traditional projects hosted on a local server making it easy for users to acclimate to the new system.
That being said, this is a brand-new collaboration method for Civil 3D with rapidly unfolding workflows and functionality. If you are interested, I’ve created a series of videos to help you evaluate the solution in its current form and identify the best way to leverage this technology on your projects.
I've broken the recordings into seven topics.
Total time commitment for all videos is approx. 45 min.
