- [Narrator] Everything we do in BIM 360 Design
requires access to online services that require
an Autodesk account.
Now, chances are you already have an Autodesk account,
but if you don't, let's go through the steps
to create one here in this video,
so head on over to Autodesk.com
and then when you get there you can click
the sign in link here at the top.
Now, if you already have an Autodesk account,
you can click Sign in
and if you don't have one,
when you get here there'll be a link
that says Create Account right here,
so in this case I'm going to create a brand new user account
and put in the required information
which is fairly simple.
It's just the first and last name,
the email address,
and then of course, a strong password.
Now, when you click in the password field,
it'll tell you what's required,
at least one letter, one number, some unique characters
and so on,
and then of course, you have to agree
to the terms of use.
Now, if you want you can click here
to read those terms before clicking
and then you click here to create your account.
Now, it'll tell you your account has been created
and there'll be some information here that you can read.
You can click Done here
and then once you've created that account,
you should already be logged in,
so I'm going to dismiss the opinion survey
that it's asking for there,
but notice that my new user account is listed right here,
and then I can either manage any existing products
and downloads that I have,
change my account settings,
or of course sign out.
Now, at the moment because this is a brand new account,
there really isn't anything in here.
At this point, since the account is brand new,
it will tell me that we have not yet verified our account,
so in order to do that we would jump over
to our email and click the link in the email
that was sent to us.
So as you can see I have a verify your account right here.
I'll just simply click that
and then you just click this big button here
to verify your email,
and that should complete the creation of the account,
so the home page of my account will take me
to the products and services tab here on the left
and if you have any products or services associated
with your account, they'll be listed here.
Now, Deshi has not purchased any products yet,
so there's nothing to show,
but as she begins to purchase products,
they'll begin listing in this location.
If you want to make changes to your profile,
you can get to that by coming over here
to this little badge here
and click the My Profile link
and that will take you to a screen
that allows you to edit the various settings
in your account,
so I'll click the Edit Profile button
and here I could add biography.
I could add my social media links,
my address, my phone number,
my company information.
I'm going to click the Change button right here
to change the image on my account, the avatar,
and I'll load a head shot,
and that should just take a moment or two to upload
and then if you want to put in
any further information you can,
so let's just go ahead and give a company name to Deshi,
and we could fill in any of the other information
that we needed,
but I'll just do the image and the company name for now.
So, we have security settings here
if you ever need to change your password
or turn on two-step verification,
if you want to link any of your social media accounts
and then over here you have some preferences
for how you want to be contacted by Autodesk
and whether you want to opt into any newsletters
and other email communications.
So we now have our Autodesk account
and this is the first requirement
that we need to access all of our BIM 360 Design features.
