[CLOSED] Fusion Team Navigation Preview

[Robert.Stein]

What is the Fusion Team Navigation preview about? This is an opportunity for everyone to try out a new navigation panel that makes it easier to find projects, folders, and files. Items are shown in a list, similar to Windows Explorer and other popular data management and collaboration solutions. This enables you to quickly find and focus on your designs. You must be a Team Administrator in your environment to enable this. This is also only available for Fusion Team Sites. 

To try this out for yourself you can follow these simple steps:

• Click your profile icon in the upper right and select settings

• Click on the Preview Tab, Edit the Navigation Panel Preview, Click the toggle, then click save, and refresh your browser.

• After refreshing you will now see the navigation panel is enabled. 

• Thanks for participating in this preview. We look forwared to seeing your feedback.

Please add a way to collapse the panel by single-clicking the slider. I cannot view this page with my customers without revealing other projects that I am working with their competitors etc.

I will disable this feature now until I learn this request has been implemented. Thank you!

Please, can you improve the dimensioning tool in the Fusion Team viewer?

My estimator has his own Fusion Team license but is always asking me for an angle, diameter, radius, perimeter, etc. 

It has no sense to buy a Full license of Fusion 360 just to query geometry from the 3D model!

Matt,

 Thanks for the great feedback. This is also one of my favorite use cases from when I was a designer before starting at Autodesk. Stay tuned as there will be continuous updates to the navigation preview over the coming months. I will also try to update this link if we decide to put in a collapse function or any other feature that may help your business case.

Thanks for this feedback, I will make sure this feedback gets to the right team to review it.

Matt,

 I hope you are doing well. We have recently added some new functionality to the navigation experience that will help you with your scenario. With this new feature you can go into an isolated view of a project, folder or a file. When you do this it shows a "card" of the isolated item which helps to take all the additional distraction away from other projects in your tree view.

If you are in a project, you will see all folders and files in that project in the tree structure, if you are in a folder, you will see sub folders and files. If you are isolating on a file you will only see the file you are isolated on.

Here is how to enter the isolated tree view. In the tree navigation when you move your cursor over a row you will see ... at the right of the row. You may have noticed this before, it's our action menu. One of the commands you will see there is "Go to". That will take you into isolation view for that object. (In the screen capture below, it is at a project level. 

When you are in isoation mode, the right side updates to show the important information. i.e. in a project isolation, you would see all of the contents of the project on the left at the root level of the projects. 

To go back to your full tree view click the action menu in the upper right of the card view which will allow you to go "Back to List"

We hope this helps. Please feel free to post additional feedback when you get the chance to check this out.

Hi,

I think it is a good feature for the team administrator or members who participate in several projects.

For people who just take care of a single project it does loose its significance. Therefore I suggest to add an option for each user to hide or disable the feature.

Best regards,

Michael

Thank you for the valuable feedback. I am taking the feedback to our team for review.

Fusion Team Navigation Experience Promoted to General Availability as of January 19, 2021. We all thank you for your feedback and although not everything was implemented prior to release it was taken into consideration. 

Over the duration of the preview we were able to get valuable insight into the way our users work with navigation in Fusion Team. One improvement that came out of the feedback from our user community is the "Isolation Mode" which is now referred to as "go to" and "back to list" which allows you to isolate directly on a project, folder or a file removing all the extra noise in the left navigation. A perfect use case for this is when you are doing a design review with a customer and you don't want them to see anything else you are working on but need to share your screen with them in a meeting. 

Feel free to reach out to robert.stein@autodesk.com with any additional feedback.
