Understanding data exchange and consumption

Consume a package - Exercise

Note: Prior to beginning practice exercise, a demo account and project or a sandbox project within a corporate account will need setup, teams created, and users added (account admin actions).

Consuming a shared package

Go to Design Collaboration.

1. Within your Team Space, explore a Discipline Team's Timeline.
2. An Open circle indicates a Shared Package that has not been Consumed by your team.
3. Hover over the circle:
   1. Observe the package name and Shared on date.
   2. Confirm this is the package your team is expecting.
      
      
      
      
4. Select Show changes:
   1. Confirm and understand Added, Removed, or Modified changes.
   2. Changes are best visualized on the 3D Space, but they may also be viewed within the Publish Sets included in the Package.
   3. It is important to remember that the "Show changes" compares last Package consumed, which may not be the last Package Shared.
      
      
      
      
5. Test Linking Consumed model into your Revit Work in Progress model:
   1. This Consumed model is now automatically placed within a Consumed discipline folder within your Document Management > Project Files > Team Folder.
      
      
      
      
   2. Go to Revit, from the Insert Tab > Link Revit. Revit will default to the correct BIM 360 Project.
   3. Navigate to your Team folder "Mechanical" in this instance > Consumed > Structural, and link to your model.
