# Autodesk Construction Cloud

New projects can be created from an existing BIM 360 model by clicking the <mark style="background-color:orange;">+Import from Autodesk</mark> button in the top-right corner of the Building List. Users will be prompted to log in to Autodesk and select the model to import into EC3. Note that this feature requires the model to be uploaded to the Autodesk cloud platform, not just a local or shared Revit model.

## Set up

This integration requires some set up outside of EC3, in [Autodesk Construction Cloud](https://acc.autodesk.com/).

### Enable EC3 for ACC app

Your organization's administrator for ACC must install the EC3 for Autodesk Construction Cloud app.

## Use

The following are the steps to take after successful set up.

### Login via Autodesk

When you create new EC3 project from Autodesk, you will be asked to login using your Autodesk credentials.

### Find & import your model

You can find the model you want to import into EC3 by navigating the project tree fetched from ACC.

### Review & update project data

EC3 does the best it can with the data contained in ACC files. In reality, there is some data loss and data insufficiencies in ACC files compared to the original Revit files accessed directly in Revit. The imported data will be a good starting point for estimating the carbon footprint of your projects, but you will be required to add and modify the material and quantity information in EC3 in order to achieve any meaningful and accurate carbon accounting.
