    KEY TOPICS

    1. Does this cloud application work as a desktop app as well within BIM 360?

    The Ideate Dashboard for Autodesk BIM 360 project works solely within the Autodesk BIM 360 environment.

    1. What versions of Revit files will Ideate BIM 360 Dashboard visualize?

    Revit 2018 – Revit 2021.

    1. How must the Revit files be loaded in BIM 360 for the Dashboard Cards to work?
    1. Where will the Dashboard Cards be shown?

    They should be shown on the BIM 360 Project Home Page.  Cards can be placed on the Project Insight Page (but not supported).

    1. What permission level must I have to setup/create the Dashboard Cards?

    How permissions rules are set are created by Autodesk.  See Autodesk Knowledge Network for more information (BIM 360 > Permissions).

    1. To view my files and create the Dashboard Card, is authentication through Autodesk required?

    Yes.  Each time you start BIM 360 and want to see the Dashboard Card, you will need to grant rights for Autodesk to read your model data. 

    1. How often does Autodesk ask for authentication?

    Autodesk sets the time limit for authentication (presently around 2 hours).  Also, if you sign out and sign back in, authentication is required.

    1. Will each user have to set up their own partner card or can an Administrator ‘push’ card to other users? 

    No, at this time (Autodesk limitation), each user must create their own partner card.  It is possible to share the unique URL created with other users who have permission rights to that project and folder (See Permissions above.).
