How to view project files directly in BuildingConnected

If you have uploaded files into your project's "Files" tab, you can view the files directly in BuildingConnected. This way you can reference them and efficiently manage your bidding process with subcontractors all in one single location. 

To view a file directly from project "Files"

Navigate to the "Files" tab in your project and there are two ways to view the file directly in BuildingConnected: 

1. Click on the file name. 
2. Use the drop-down menu at the far right and click "View".

Please note that your account must be connected to Autodesk ID in order to view files directly on BuildingConnected. The file viewer will open and you will receive a message if you have not yet done so.

• Please click on "Create an Autodesk ID" if you do not yet have an existing account or "Sign in with Autodesk ID" accordingly.
• If you choose not to connect an Autodesk ID, you can click "Download file instead". 

Once you are connected to Autodesk ID, you will be able to view your file in detail. There will be a toolbar at the top to zoom, rotate, and more and also view the multiple pages in your file from the left panel as applicable. 

Currently, the supported files types are PDF, JPG, and PNG.
