Create Progress Tracking Mark-ups

Once you've configured object types and activities, you can create mark-ups to track installation directly on your project sheets.

Enter Progress Tracking Mode

To begin creating mark-ups, navigate to the Sheets tool in Autodesk Build.

Next, select a sheet that you want to create mark-ups on and open it. Then, click on the Progress Tracking icon to open the Progress Tracking panel.

Finally, click Show Progress Mark-ups to enable progress tracking mode.

When you show progress tracking mark-ups, all other mark-ups on the sheet will be hidden.

Tip:

The number in parentheses indicates how many progress tracking mark-ups exist on the sheet.

Calibrate Sheet for Progress Tracking

To see measurement data for progress tracking object types, you must calibrate the sheet you are working on.

While in progress tracking mode, click on the ruler icon in the bottom toolbar.

Click on the calibrate icon in the toolbar.
Click Continue. You will be directed to set the calibration for this sheet.
On the next page, select Set scale or make a 2-point calibration from the drawer on the right. Calibrate the sheet accordingly. Further instructions can be found here.

Click Create & Publish.
Click Done in the bottom toolbar.
Click Show Progress Mark-ups to continue working in progress tracking mode.

Note:

All sheets with progress tracking mark-ups of that object type must be calibrated to populate data into the progress tracking dashboard.

Create a Progress Tracking Mark-up

In progress tracking mode, click the mark-ups icon on the right-hand side of the screen. Select the object type to track and the mark-up tool you want to use to track it.

You can create mark-ups using a line, a rectangle, a polyline, a custom polygon, an ellipse or a highlighter. Different mark-up types provide different measurement data for calibrated sheets in the dashboard and the spreadsheet export.
- Linear types of mark-ups (linear feet or metres): line, polyline, highlighter
- Area types of mark-ups (square feet or metres): rectangle, polygon, ellipse

With the object type and mark-up tool selected, find the appropriate area on the sheet and create the mark-up. A new object will be added to your progress tracking panel.

Tip:

You can double-click the mark-up type icon to lock the creation tool to create multiple progress mark-ups in a row. You can hold SPACEBAR to pan and click ESC to exit.

The new markup will appear in grey until you update the status of the progress tracking object.
