To create an Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) project, follow these steps:
-
Open the Create Project Dialog: This is usually accessed within the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform itself. Look for a button or menu option labeled "Create Project," "New Project," or something similar.
-
Enter Project Information:
- Project Name: Provide a descriptive and easily identifiable name for your project.
- Project Number: Assign a unique project number. This is crucial for organization and tracking.
- Account Selection: Expand the "Account" dropdown. This lists the project hubs (accounts) you have access to. Select the appropriate account hub where you want the project to reside. The project hub is where all project data and information will be stored.
-
Define Project Type and Template:
- Project Type: Choose the appropriate project type from the dropdown menu (e.g., "Commercial," "Residential," "Infrastructure"). This categorization helps with reporting and filtering.
- Template: Select a project template. Templates predefine settings, roles, and workflows, saving setup time. If no suitable template exists, you may have to select a basic template or start from scratch.
-
Set Project Details:
- Address: Enter the project's physical address. This information is used for mapping and location-based services.
- Time Zone: Select the correct time zone for the project location to ensure accurate scheduling and communication.
- Start and End Dates: Specify the planned start and end dates of the project. These dates are important for tracking project progress and milestones.
-
Create the Project: Once you've entered all the necessary information, click the "Create Project" or similar button to finalize the project creation process.
After creating the project, you can then proceed to:
- Add Members: Invite team members and assign them roles and permissions.
- Configure Services: Enable and configure the specific Autodesk Construction Cloud services you want to use for the project, such as Docs, Build, Takeoff, or BIM Collaborate.
- Upload Documents: Begin uploading project documents, drawings, and models.
By following these steps, you can successfully create a new project within the Autodesk Construction Cloud.
