If you are not on subscription, some of the features described in the Help are not available in your version of the software. To gain access to these features and enhancements, become an Autodesk subscriber. Learn about subscriber benefits and options at About Autodesk Subscription and www.autodesk.com/subscription.

- Log into your Autodesk Account to check for available software updates.
- Talk to your BIM manager or software administrator for information and instructions.
If you determine that you have the latest software update and you still don't see the missing tool or feature, your BIM manager may have disabled certain sets of tools before deploying the software to your computer, based on discipline. Discuss your needs with the BIM manager.

- Click File tab
Options.
