pin360 + Aconex: 360° Site Documentation for Your Aconex Project Drawings
Aconex controls your project documents. pin360 gives those documents a physical dimension — 360° site photos anchored to the locations your Aconex drawings define.
Oracle Aconex is the document control platform of choice for large infrastructure and civil engineering projects across the UK, Australia, and the Middle East. Where Autodesk ACC dominates building construction, Aconex is the standard for major infrastructure — highways, rail, bridges, tunnels, and large civil schemes. It manages document transmittals, drawing registers, RFIs, and correspondence across complex multi-party project networks.
Structural engineers, project managers, and site supervisors who work in Aconex environments spend their day navigating document registers, reviewing drawings, and issuing transmittals. What Aconex does not provide is a way to anchor 360° site photographs to drawing coordinates — so that a reviewer can click a specific location on a bridge abutment drawing and see the full panoramic condition photograph from that spot.
pin360 bridges this gap. Download the current revision of any Aconex drawing as a PDF, upload it to pin360, and build a spatially-indexed 360° condition record. For civil and infrastructure inspections — where the scale of the structure makes spatial context critical — this produces a documentation layer that Aconex's native tools cannot replicate. Share the pin360 link as a transmittal attachment in Aconex and the entire project network can access the spatial record without an Aconex licence.
How It Works
Download the drawing from Aconex
From the Aconex document register, download the current revision of the relevant drawing as a PDF. Using the current revision ensures your photo pins match the latest issued drawing — important on fast-moving infrastructure projects.
Create a project in pin360
Upload the Aconex PDF to pin360 and create a View. Name it using the Aconex document number for easy cross-referencing. Large-format civil drawings (including A0 sheets) upload and render at full resolution.
Photograph each inspection location on site
Walk the structure or site with a 360° camera. For civil infrastructure, photograph each inspection point — abutment bearings, expansion joints, drainage outfalls, structural connections — from the same position each survey to enable condition comparison over time.
Pin 360° photos to the drawing
In pin360, place a pin at each photographed location and attach the 360° panorama. For condition inspections, add severity ratings and text notes. For progress records, add timestamps. The drawing becomes a spatial index of your site visit.
Attach the pin360 link in Aconex
Copy the pin360 link and include it in an Aconex transmittal, RFI response, or document comment. The entire Aconex project network — including parties who do not use pin360 — can open the link in a browser to access the full 360° spatial record.

Frequently Asked Questions
pin360 works alongside Aconex through a PDF export and link workflow. Download any drawing from the Aconex document register, upload it to pin360, build your 360° photo record, and paste the pin360 link into the relevant Aconex transmittal or document. No API integration, no connector, no additional licences.
