Review the list to verify the submittals are correct prior to pushing to Autodesk Build. Once verified, click Show Autodesk Build Preview.

The submittals that you see on the screen will be exported into Autodesk Build. If you hover over a specific line-item under Export Status, it will show that a new submittal will be created. Click Export Now to finish exporting.

AutoSpecs will give you an option to export Spec Section PDFs, Requirements Overview Excel, and Submittal Log. For Spec Section PDFs, you can create a new folder within the Files tool in Autodesk Build by clicking on Add New Autodesk Build Folder or select a folder available in the drop-down menu. After making your selection, click Export to Autodesk Build. Depending on the number of spec sections found within the project, the time it takes to export will vary. Once the export is complete, you will receive an email confirming it has been completed.

After the export is complete, you will see the Autodesk Build Export Summary showing you that the export was successful. Click on Check in Autodesk Build to open review the information in Autodesk Build.

The spec section PDFs will be in the folder structure you selected or created; the requirements overview excel and submittal log will be located in a folder called Pype Docs.
