Advancing towards enhanced data management: Content Catalog for Autodesk Docs subscribers coming soon
In the near future, Autodesk is set to revolutionize BIM content management with the launch of the Content Catalog, a groundbreaking addition to Autodesk Docs. This upcoming release will make UNIFI Pro’s advanced BIM content management capabilities accessible to anyone with Autodesk Docs access. By integrating these tools, organizations can streamline workflows, enhance collaboration, and improve data accessibility across diverse projects.
Content Catalog isn’t just about individual projects—it’s about fostering seamless cross-project data workflows for AECO organizations. In tandem with Autodesk’s recently introduced AEC Data Model API Beta, this development marks a monumental leap forward in making granular data more accessible within Autodesk Docs. This common data environment serves as the backbone for AECO customers, enabling them to leverage data more effectively throughout their entire organizational framework.
At Autodesk, our vision for better data centers around three core principles: increased interoperability, connectivity, and accessibility. While significant strides have been made in sharing data among project stakeholders, there remains a glaring gap once projects conclude. Too often, valuable data is archived instead of being utilized for future projects or throughout the building lifecycle. The result? Wasted time and resources spent recreating information that already exists. This inefficiency not only drives up costs but also prevents us from uncovering crucial insights hidden within interconnected datasets. For instance, how frequently is a specific door type used across multiple ongoing projects? Addressing this challenge means connecting BIM content and its associated data directly into Autodesk Docs, empowering AECO professionals to work smarter—not harder.
One of the highlights from Autodesk University this year was the announcement that UNIFI Pro’s robust cloud-based content management features will soon become available to all Autodesk Docs users. Once released, this integrated solution will officially debut under the name Autodesk Content Catalog. If you currently hold access to Autodesk Docs—whether via the AEC Collection or Autodesk Build—you'll gain access to UNIFI Pro’s suite of functionalities at no extra charge. The demand for enhanced BIM content management has been central to our strategic planning, prompting questions about timing and relevance. Why now? Why Autodesk Docs?
To truly unlock the potential of granular data, it must first be freed from isolated files and models. By housing this information in a unified, cloud-based repository, firms can consolidate their data and permissions into one centralized location, simplifying overall management efforts. Content Catalog represents a pivotal advancement in expanding Docs’ data handling abilities by incorporating another essential layer of detailed data management.
Upon its release, Content Catalog will empower users to efficiently manage, organize, and distribute digital content created using Revit, Civil 3D, Plant 3D, Rhino, and other popular design tools. Presently, much of this content is generated on a per-project basis, leading to duplicate efforts where identical files are recreated across different projects, teams, and platforms. With Content Catalog integrated into our AEC common data environment, finding, searching for, and loading BIM content will become faster, more efficient, and universally accessible anytime, anywhere.
Imagine being able to quickly locate and insert desired content into your designs within seconds—a capability that Content Catalog promises to deliver. Its data management system works hand-in-hand with the recently rolled out AEC Data Model API Public Beta, which allows retrieval of fine-grained details such as elements, parameters, and their respective values. Combined, these offerings represent substantial progress toward creating an open, flexible data infrastructure that connects AECO teams wherever they choose to operate.
We understand that effective data exchange requires well-organized, compatible, and readily available information right from the beginning. Thus, we're thrilled to incorporate Content Catalog's functionalities into Autodesk Docs to achieve precisely that goal.
