Call for feedback: No more ZIP files when downloading Revit Cloud Models from Docs
Does your application download Revit models from Autodesk/BIM 360 Docs? If so, you are probably aware that sometimes a Revit model is downloaded as ZIP. The Revit team is planning to change that. Head to our blog to learn more and provide feedback.
ACC Cost Management: Budgets-Contracts Link API
We are pleased to inform you about the availability of a new API endpoint to link multiple budgets to multiple contracts for Cost Management in Autodesk Build. Now, with the new API, you can create multiple links using a single endpoint, making easier to use. Learn more
ACC Cost Management API: Deprecating "budgets" field in POST/PATCH contracts
Recently, Autodesk added a new endpoint POST budgets-contracts:link. This endpoint allows API users to batch-create multiple budgets to multiple contracts links. If you are using the budgets field in POST contracts or PATCH contracts/{contractId} endpoints please migrate to use POST budgets-contracts:link by October 15th, 2024, at which point the budgets field will be removed. Find more info on our blog.
