Introduction to Revit cloud worksharing

00:03

Revit cloud worksharing gives team members from different firms the ability

00:07

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

00:12

With controlled cloud worksharing,

00:14

team members can co-author design content in real time,

00:18

instantly contributing to the same model without compromising data integrity.

00:24

Revit's cloud-based platform

00:26

ensures real-time co-working by synchronizing updates instantly.

00:32

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

00:37

The platform supports Revit's workset element borrowing,

00:41

which allows users to check out and work on specific

00:44

elements of the model without locking the entire file.

00:48

Additionally,

00:49

Revit 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,

01:03

reduces the risk of data loss,

01:05

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

01:10

It's important to understand the different upload methods

01:14

for working with 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

01:30

but still needs to be linked into the project,

01:33

you can upload it by using one of 3 methods.

01:37

Within Revit,

01:38

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

01:47

using the Upload files button,

01:49

or drag and drop the model directly from a File Explorer window

01:54

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 cloud worksharing workflow

02:06

begins by initiating a cloud workshared model

02:09

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.

02:22

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

02:26

Once the model is saved to the cloud,

02:28

team members can work on it concurrently,

02:30

with changes synchronized to the central model in real time.

02:35

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

02:53

through the design collaboration

02:55

team's workspace for a more automated update.
