Autodesk Expands BIM 360 Docs to Android Devices

Autodesk BIM 360 Docs is updated with a significant extension by introducing a mobile app for Android-based smartphones and tablets. With this new app, the users will be able to use BIM 360 Docs functionality to Android-based smartphones and tablets. The users can apply both apps at free of cost. BIM 360 Docs comes with a paid subscription tier and a free tier; the later offers access to a single project, with some restricted features.

BIM 360 Docs stands for a web service for managing construction document efficiently. BIM 360 Docs was developed to get rid of those issues by delivering a �single source of truth� for projects and facilitating the users to perform the following:

� Upload all documents, plans, and models to one storage
� Allocate files with controls that restrict entry to specific users and permission levels, sustain version control, and track changes
� View 2D and 3D files
� Markup files and distribute those markups with other users.

The new Android app utilizes the customary Android [user interface]� and offers entry to all of the user�s BIM 360 Docs projects. The app offers the following exclusive features:

� Top-notch folder navigation, and sub-folder views
� Thumbnail views of files with visual indicators of versions
� A single viewer for 2D plans and other file types like photos
� Complete navigation tools for 3D models along with object properties
� Markup panel to observe all the comments related to a plan or model
� Issue list for 2D plans
� Capability to modify the status of an issue.
