BIM 360 Design now supports AutoCAD Civil 3D

Some exciting new from Autodesk this week... BIM 360 Design now supports AutoCAD Civil 3D!

I have not tried this yet, but am excited as all our building projects are in BIM 360 Design and half of our firm (of 250 people) use Civil 3D. This should also be great for staff who need to work from home or remotely as VPN, RPD and other methods tend to be laggy... stay tuned for more on how it works once I get a chance to kick the tires.

From the Autodesk news release...

"Collaboration for Civil 3D, now included with a BIM 360 Design subscription, allows subscribers of BIM 360 Design and Civil 3D to work collaboratively with project partners at anytime and from anywhere, regardless of team locations and disciplines, including architects, engineers, and contractors. With the existing Revit Cloud Worksharing capabilities and the addition of Collaboration for Civil 3D to the same platform, designing airports, rail stations, and other complex projects with vertical and horizontal structures is simpler and more efficient."
