Only a Project Administrator or a Project Editor can create a project. If you don't have either of these roles assigned, contact the person who invited you.

How do I check what role I have in a project?

  1. At the top-right corner, click My account (your profile picture or initials).

  2. Your role is displayed below your name.

If you have any questions regarding your assigned role, contact your Project Administrator. For more information, see learn about users, roles, and permissions.

Step 1: Go to Manage projects

  1. On the top bar, click the Projects list, then click Manage projects.

  2. Click Create a new project .

Step 2: Specify your project details

  1. In the project wizard > Project details tab, fill in all the required details.

    The project name must not contain a period (.).

  2. Upload a picture to identify the project. The picture appears on the project card in the Manage projects page.

  3. If necessary, expand a section to make changes, or you can skip this step and make these changes later.

    In this section

    You can do this

    Coordinate systems

    Define a starting point for the project as an XYZ coordinate (degree of latitude, longitude, and elevation).

    The starting point is necessary for aligning models and digital reality images (laser scans), creating point clouds, and other tasks that require a precise location.

    If a coordinate system is not defined for the project, HxGN AEC Project Viewer uses the default coordinate system for the tenant (the company using HxGN AEC Project Viewer).

    Integrations

    Select systems that the project needs to share data with.

    For example, your project might get model files stored on a common data environment such as Autodesk Construction Cloud - Docs.

    For help with how to fill in this section, see Connect a project to an integrated system.

    SHARED Tip An administrator must first integrate a system with HxGN AEC Project Viewer before you can choose it for integration with your project.
