ACE Collaboration & Team Workflows 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In Autodesk BIM 360 (now Autodesk Construction Cloud), what is the primary purpose of the 'Issues' feature in a collaborative project?
- To track RFIs and submittals only
- To assign, track, and resolve problems or punch list items across teams (Correct answer)
- To manage document version history
- To control user permissions on folders
Correct answer: To assign, track, and resolve problems or punch list items across teams
The Issues feature in ACC/BIM 360 lets teams assign, track, and resolve field problems, design issues, and punch list items collaboratively.
Question 2: When using Autodesk Vault in a team environment, what does 'checking out' a file do?
- Permanently deletes the file from the server
- Locks the file so other users cannot edit it simultaneously (Correct answer)
- Publishes the file for external review
- Copies the file to a shared network folder
Correct answer: Locks the file so other users cannot edit it simultaneously
Checking out a file in Autodesk Vault locks it, preventing simultaneous edits and protecting data integrity.
Question 3: In a Revit worksharing environment, what is the role of the 'Central Model'?
- A read-only archive of the project baseline
- The master file that stores all synchronized changes from team members' local copies (Correct answer)
- A cloud-hosted backup created nightly by BIM 360
- A simplified model used for coordination meetings only
Correct answer: The master file that stores all synchronized changes from team members' local copies
The Central Model in Revit worksharing is the authoritative file where all local changes are synchronized via Synchronize with Central.
Question 4: Which Autodesk Construction Cloud feature allows multiple disciplines to overlay their models and detect geometric conflicts automatically?
- Design Collaboration
- Model Coordination with clash detection (Correct answer)
- Insight energy analysis
- Sheets & Views manager
Correct answer: Model Coordination with clash detection
ACC's Model Coordination module aggregates models from multiple disciplines and runs automated clash detection to surface geometric conflicts.
Question 5: In AutoCAD's shared views feature, what is the main limitation compared to a full DWG file share?
- Shared views cannot display dimensions
- Recipients can view and comment but cannot edit or download the DWG (Correct answer)
- Shared views expire after 24 hours by default
- Only users with AutoCAD LT can access shared views
Correct answer: Recipients can view and comment but cannot edit or download the DWG
Shared Views give stakeholders a browser-based, interactive view with commenting capability but do not allow editing or DWG download.
Question 6: What is the purpose of 'Transmittals' in Autodesk Construction Cloud document management?
- To compress and archive old project files
- To formally package and send specific documents to recipients with a tracked record (Correct answer)
- To grant temporary external access to the ACC project hub
- To convert PDF markups into native design files
Correct answer: To formally package and send specific documents to recipients with a tracked record
Transmittals in ACC provide a formal, auditable mechanism to package selected documents and deliver them to specified recipients.
Question 7: In Fusion 360, which collaboration capability allows an external reviewer to comment on a design without needing a Fusion 360 license?
- Fusion Team hub sharing with edit rights
- Public link sharing via the web viewer (Correct answer)
- AnyCAD reference insertion
- Generative design export to PDF
Correct answer: Public link sharing via the web viewer
Fusion 360 allows sharing a public link that opens the design in a browser-based viewer where unlicensed stakeholders can view and comment.
