Save and publish models with variations to the cloud

00:03

When working with the Informed Design add-in for Revit, apart from regularly saving your cloud model,

00:10

it is also important to publish your latest versions.

00:14

When you are ready to publish, on the ribbon, Collaborate tab, Manage Models panel, select Publish Settings.

00:22

In the Publish Settings dialog, you can select the sets, types and views that you want to include in the publish operation.

00:30

Make sure to include all the collaborative views needed, such as 3D views,

00:36

so that they are available in Autodesk Docs and Informed Design.

00:40

When you have finished making your selections, click Save & Close.

00:45

Close all your views.

00:47

Then, from the Revit Home screen, select Autodesk Docs.

00:54

If you are using BIM Collaborate, you can similarly publish from there.

00:59

Navigate to your cloud model folder location and open the folder where the model is saved.

01:05

In the model data, notice that under Publish Status, it shows that there is an update available.

01:11

Under the settings column, click the ellipsis (…) and then select Publish Latest.

01:17

In the Publish to the Cloud pop-up, click Publish.

01:21

You do not need to publish every time that you save,

01:24

but it is good practice to publish to the cloud regularly,

01:28

so that you and your collaborators can use your latest Informed Design variations.
