Synchronize Files Between Civil 3D Cloud Projects Using Bridge!

Historically, Civil 3D projects hosted in the cloud have had limited access to content stored outside the primary project folder. Using the new Bridge feature, however, project files can easily be shared (and updated) between projects, even if those projects reside within different accounts!

A bridge represents data synchronization from a host project to a receiving project. Once configured, any changes made to “bridged” files in the host project will version up their respective copies in the receiving project(s). This connection allows any cloud-based Civil 3D project to leverage files from any other cloud project and ensure they always have the latest versions.

If you are interested, I created a quick video that walks through the features of the new Bridge tool. In the recording, we explore “static” vs. “automated” bridges, pausing/resuming bridges, reviewing the history of transactions, and more.

New 30 min. Workout Series Launches Jan. 23rd!

These sessions will dive deeper into the Autodesk Construction Cloud and explore best practices for managing cloud-based Civil 3D projects. Dates, titles, and session descriptions are below. We hope to see you there!  - REGISTER HERE -

Jan 23rd - Referencing Civil 3D Content Between Cloud Projects or Accounts

Did you know Civil 3D cloud projects can utilize content from any ACC project, even those hosted on other accounts? In this session, we'll walk through the "Bridge" feature within the Autodesk Construction Cloud. Using bridge, Civil 3D files and folders can be shared (or synced) between cloud projects or ACC Accounts.  

Feb 13th - Managing & Archiving Communications on Civil 3D Cloud Projects

Meetings and emails are significant components of civil infrastructure projects. Did you know BIM Collaborate Pro allows teams to manage these items from within the ACC platform? In this session, we'll take our first look at the Meetings and Correspondence features. These tools help store all project-related meetings, action items, emails, and attachments in a single (searchable) cloud-based repository!

Feb 27th - Sharing Civil 3D Cloud Project Files with Internal & External Stakeholders

Autodesk's Construction Cloud provides unlimited storage for your project-related files and models. It also makes it easy to share content with anyone while maintaining a digital record of all transactions! In this session, we'll explore several ways to exchange files (formally and informally) with internal or external stakeholders.

Mar 12th - Configuring Civil 3D Cloud Projects for "Multi-Team" Collaboration

Large design projects often require collaboration between multiple teams. Using BIM Collaborate Pro, each team can have its own "team space" for team-level collaboration. Each team's content can then be shared with other teams (when appropriate) for project-level collaboration. The team space approach ensures all teams have the right content at the right time! This session will demonstrate how to configure individual team spaces and share content between teams as "packages."
