Introduction to the Revit cloud worksharing workflow

00:02

Revit cloud worksharing

00:03

gives team members from different firms the

00:06

ability to work concurrently on projects regardless of time zone or location.

00:12

With controlled cloud work sharing. Team members can co-author

00:16

design content in real time, instantly contributing

00:19

to the same model without compromising data integrity.

00:24

Revit's cloud-based

00:24

platform ensures real

00:27

time co-working by synchronizing updates instantly.

00:31

So changes made by one team member are visible to others immediately.

00:37

The platform supports Revit's works set

00:39

element borrowing, which allows users to check

00:42

out and work on specific elements of the model without locking the entire file.

00:48

Additionally,

00:49

Revit

00:49

cloud worksharing stores all project data in a central file storage,

00:54

ensuring that the latest version of the model is always accessible.

00:59

This centralization simplifies version control, reduces the risk of data loss, and

01:05

promotes a single source of truth for all team members and stakeholders.

01:10

It's important to understand the different upload methods for working with

01:15

Revit models and Autodesk Docs.

01:17

In order to utilize the design

01:19

collaboration product within Autodesk Construction Cloud,

01:23

you must create a Revit cloud workshare model.

01:27

If you have a Revit model that is not workshared

01:29

but still needs to be linked into the project,

01:33

you can upload it by using one of three methods.

01:37

Within Revit, you can save the model as a cloud model

01:41

and save it into the project.

01:43

You can upload a model to Autodesk Construction cloud using the upload files button,

01:49

or drag and drop the model directly from a file explorer window

01:53

to the website.

01:55

You can use the desktop connector within the file

01:58

explorer to upload the files to the project.

02:03

A typical Revit

02:03

cloud worksharing workflow begins by initiating a cloud

02:07

workshared model in the Autodesk Construction cloud project

02:11

and uploading non-workshared models.

02:15

All workshared models are accessible in Revit from the Autodesk DOCS page.

02:21

Non-workshared models can be opened through the desktop connector.

02:26

Once the model is saved to the cloud, team members can work on it concurrently,

02:30

with changes synchronized to the central model in real time.

02:34

Views and sheets must be published using Revit's published settings

02:39

to share the model with external stakeholders.

02:42

Regular synchronization and publishing ensures that the cloud model

02:47

is always up to date with the latest changes.

02:50

A publishing schedule can also be set through the

02:53

design collaboration teams workspace for a more automated update.
