Add additional BIM Cloud Connection types

Following on from this question: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-geobim-questions/supported-bim-cloud-connection-types/m-p/1329021

It would be great if it was possible to create different types of BIM Cloud Connection. Currently the only connection supported is AutoDesk BIM 360 (which can also be used to connect via AutoDesk Construction Cloud too). The documentation implies that connections to other BIM cloud stores are also supported but that's not the case. From the documentation (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/cad/connect-to-bim-cloud-connection.htm

"A BIM cloud connection allows you to access content in an online BIM cloud storage repository, such as Autodesk BIM 360, or the Autodesk Construction Cloud, and use that content in ArcGIS Pro."

We're currently working with a client who stores their CAD data in the MiCAD system (https://www.micadsoftware.com/contact-us/), so a connection to that would be massively beneficial to us at the moment.

Greeting all,

I would like to second this request!

The drop down in the BIM Cloud Connector suggests future 3rd party OAUTH2 application read/write capabilities.

Can we please leverage the strategic partnership with Trimble and provide access to the Connect CDE?

How about connectivity to the imodels and file database in the Bentley Infrastructure Cloud?

Let's connect with our collaborative silos!!
