Sharing a 3D View from Revit with the Wider Team.
00:05
In today's virtual world, it's important to be able to share and receive comments from multiple collaborators.
00:12
For example, an architect needs to create drawings, for new signage for a medical center following the new distancing guidelines.
00:20
To get input from the medical team, the architect can share a 3D view from Revit, and provide that link to them.
00:27
They can then view the 3D model in the Autodesk Viewer through a browser without having to have access to Revit.
00:36
I'm working in Revit in the Small Medical Center project in the Ground Floor view.
00:41
In the Quick Access toolbar, I'm clicking "Default 3D View".
00:47
You need to be in a 3D view in order to share it 3D.
00:52
Now in the Collaborate tab on the Share panel, I click "Shared Views".
00:57
This turns the Shared Views palate off and on.
01:02
Now I already have one shared view that was created earlier, and I want to create a new one.
01:08
New Shared View. In the Create a 3D Shared View, I'm going to type in my new name for it.
01:16
This is going to be Small Medical Center-- Return to Work. Then I want to go ahead and share it.
01:23
The shared view is being created, and you can continue working in the project while the shared view is being extracted.
01:30
The amount of time this takes varies with the complexity of the model.
01:35
A notification displays where you can quickly choose to view it in the browser or copy a link, and prepare to share it with someone else.
01:45
You are also sent an email notifying that the file is ready to view.
01:50
I can go into the Shared Views Palette.
01:52
I'm going to click back here.
01:54
So here's my Small Medical Center-- Return to Work.
01:57
And then the ellipsis besides the name, when I pick that it, brings up a little drop down menu,
02:05
and again, I can click View it in the Browser, Copy the link.
02:09
I can also extend it. This is when you might want to have it longer than 30 days.
02:15
The default is 30 days.
02:16
And If you're no longer using this view, you can delete it.
02:20
Now I also want to show another way to share a view, and that's to first have a section view, a section 3D view.
02:29
So I'm going here to my 3D Views in my Project Browser, and I have one called Lobby Section.
02:37
I'm going to double-click to open that.
02:39
And this is a 3D view that has a section cut through the lobby, and so if I wanted to be able to show that type of a view--
02:47
so I'm not seeing the entire building but just part of the building
02:51
I can share a limited view.
02:53
So I'm going to actually modify this a little bit because I want to see the lobby and not the big windows here,
03:01
so I just want to see it the other direction.
03:04
So I modified my view.
03:05
I now have a 3D view that's kind of a cut through the lobby.
03:10
I can now send this view along to whoever I need to show it to.
03:15
Now I click New Shared View and it reminds me, hey, it hadn't been saved.
03:19
I did make a change to the drawing.
03:20
So make sure you save it first.
03:25
And then you can use your new saved view.
03:29
And I'm going to call this one again Small Medical Center, and I'll call it just the Lobby part and share it.
03:35
Once again it's going to extract the information,
03:39
and once it's extracted, you can go ahead, and copy the link to the file and pass it along to whoever needs it next.

Sharing 3D views from Revit with the Wider Team
In this exercise you will create a 3D shared view in Revit and prepare to send it to a non-Revit user. You will also modify a 3D section view and extract it as a separate shared view.
