In order for URBIM to load the BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) hub tree and display on the screen any of the models that the client has hosted there, the client’s cloud access authorization by the account administrator is required.
1. ACCESS TO CUSTOM INTEGRATIONS
This authorization is made from the “Custom Integrations” section, which is accessed differently depending on whether you have ACC or BIM 360:
1.1 FROM AUTODESK CONSTRUCTION CLOUD
From the Autodesk Construction Cloud Account Administrator section, locate the BIM 360 admin section and click on the “Apps” button.
1. Access to Custom Integrations from ACC.
We will see that it takes us to the BIM 360 Account Admin. screen. Select the “Settings” tab, and then “Custom integrations”, which will open a screen in which we can see all the custom integrations that are allowed to access that BIM 360 hub.
2. Custom Integrations screen.
Click on the blue button “Add custom integration” and continue with the steps in section 2: Creating the application and authorization approval.
1.2 FROM BIM 360
From the BIM 360 project home page, click on the drop-down menu and select the “Account Admin” button.
3. Access to custom integrations from BIM 360.
We will see that it takes us to the BIM 360 Account Admin. screen, locate the “Settings” section and click on the “Custom integrations” button, which will open a screen where we can see all the custom integrations that are allowed to access that BIM 360 hub.
4. Custom integrations screen.
Click on the blue button “Add custom integration” and continue with the steps in section 2: Creating the application and authorization approval.
2. CREATING THE APPLICATION AND AUTHORIZATION APPROVAL
Once we click on the “Add custom integration” button, a wizard will open and guide us step by step. In the first step, we select the type of access we want URBIM to have over our BIM 360. In this case, it is only necessary to select the access to document management.
Then select the option “Invite a developer” and enter URBIM’s support email address: support@urbim.io.
6. Invitation to URBIM as a developer.
We will see that a new custom integration will appear in the custom integrations screen, indicating who has been invited as a developer.
7. Custom integration on hold.
Once URBIM accepts the invitation and enter the data, the custom integration will appear with all the information fulfilled and its status pending approval.
8. Custom integration pending approval.
Select the “Approve” button and check that the authorization process is successfully completed, and the integration appears as “Active”.
If this approval is not given, URBIM will not be able to access the client’s BIM 360 and therefore will not be able to display their models.
