Decide on the Revit file linking method to use in your collaboration strategy

When using BIM Collaborate Pro for Autodesk Revit cloud worksharing, the files from other disciplines can be linked from their WIP folder, the Shared folder, or the Consumed folder. Along with several pros and cons of linking from all these folders, there are various other factors you need to consider before making a decision, such as Design Collaboration team permissions, low trust VS high trust environment, etc. This course will discuss all these pros and cons and additional factors in detail.

Package Revit publish sets to share with other teams in Design Collaboration

Each team collaborates independently in Revit and creates packages. These packages allow you to bundle your team’s Revit models and published sets, so you can share them with other teams. With the Design Collaboration module, teams have complete control of how other teams see the state of their team’s work by controlling which packages of your team’s Revit model is being shared. In this module, you will learn how to curate and share packages on a project timeline for tracking and accountability.
