› BIM 360 APPROVAL PROCESS FOR COPs OF $50,000.00 OR GREATER

• Step-by-step visual guide explaining the process for submitting Change Order Proposals (COPs) of $50K or greater. The COP is submitted by a designer, builder, or contractor to the UF Project Manager for approval by the Director of Construction using UF’s BIM 360 system.

› UPDATE AUTODESK DESKTOP CONNECTOR

• Autodesk Desktop Connector is the application that integrates BIM 360 document folders with your PCs file management system, giving you the ability to “drag and drop” files and folders. Autodesk recently renamed this application from “Autodesk Desktop Connector” to “Autodesk Docs”.

If you are a design professional, please note that BIM 360 Docs is different than BIM 360 Design. BIM 360 Design allows you to collaborate with your design colleagues using your own BIM 360 Design license. BIM 360 Docs is more restrictive and requires UF to purchase a license for you to access the files in our cloud instance of Docs.
