Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is Workshop XR used for?

Workshop XR is used for design review and collaboration. It is an immersive workspace for AEC teams to review 3D models and associated data from Autodesk Construction Cloud together in real-time.

Who uses Workshop XR?

Workshop XR is used by BIM managers, BIM coordinators, VDC coordinators, and building engineers (structural engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers) who are interested in using XR to review ACC models together at human-scale to gain a shared spatial understanding of their project.

Do I need a VR headset to use Workshop XR?

Workshop XR allows you to join without a headset via the web app with a license. Participation is for collaborative sessions led by a VR host. Access to host a design review in Workshop XR is via a VR headset. Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S, and Pro headsets are all supported.

Will I need a Facebook account to use Workshop XR?

No. You don’t need a Facebook account to access Workshop XR. However, in order to use the supported Quest headsets, you will need a Meta account.

Do I need to have Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) to use Workshop XR?

The automatic data connectivity and synced issue tracking features of Workshop XR are made possible with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC). Workshop XR connects to ACC via Autodesk Docs. With every Workshop XR license, free access to Autodesk Docs is included. This gives you direct access to projects, files, members, and issues.   

What file types are supported by Workshop XR?

Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Navisworks are supported. IFC files are also supported.

What are the Workshop XR hardware requirements?

Workshop XR is an untethered VR solution meaning that it does not require a PC connection. Everything runs on a standalone Meta Quest headset (Meta Quest 2, 3, 3S, and Pro). High-speed Internet or Wi-Fi with at least 30 mbps download speed is recommended for optimal performance.

Does Workshop XR replace The Wild and Prospect by IrisVR?

Yes, Autodesk Workshop XR is the product that customers of The Wild and Prospect by IrisVR are migrating to. We’ve put together a comprehensive FAQ page to provide more details and help our customers navigate this transition smoothly.

What value does Workshop XR provide over traditional design review workflows?

Using Workshop XR is a more efficient, engaging, and sustainable form of design review collaboration for AEC teams. By immersing stakeholders in a shared workspace where they can experience models together at 1:1 scale, teams can more effectively communicate design intent and coordinate with their models, leading to better spatial understanding, faster problem solving, and more confident decisions.

How do I get my models into VR?

Workshop XR will be able to load supported 3D models from Autodesk Construction Cloud. Learn more about how to bring your models into VR  here.
