Printing PDF’s from Autodesk Cloud (BIM360/ACC) used to be a time consuming task. Going through all drawings and requesting PDF’s took a while and BIM managers need to quality assurance large drawing sets. sPrint is a Chrome extension that allows batch-print PDFs and download things (derivatives) from Autodesk Cloud Platforms.
Problem
- Users spend unnecessary time on the frustrating task of exporting drawings from Revit.
- Everyday there’s a new set of drawings that needs to be exported to PDF to add markups to, show to the team, and send to external stakeholders.
- Designers have in the past used ‘Clarity’ but it’s being abandoned because of the lack of trust, since it only works 20% of the time, and Revit is frozen while exporting and can’t be used.
- The drawings are ready for exporting in BIM360, but it’s only possible to print one sheet at a time, in low pixel quality. The result is burnt resources and frustration when exporting.
