Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
If you Close All Worksets when opening a model on BIM 360 Design, you may get this error (related to Project Info): Can’t edit the element. It was deleted in the Central Model. As you can see, it is r…
If you have moved your project onto BIM 360 Docs, it might make sense to store related project resources (Shared Parameter files and Classification resources like Uniformat) in the same cloud as well.…
If you are still running a relatively small SSD (like 512gb), you might see that your C drive fills up pretty quickly while working on a large BIM 360 Design Revit cloud worksharing project. See below…
I previously posted about how to quickly repath links based on some control mechanisms. Enter BIM 360, and the wild world of Revit cloud worksharing… I expect that it will be commonplace now for exist…
To be able to use the new BIM360 Design or BIM 360 Document Management in Revit you need to be able to see ‘Document Management’ after clicking the BIM 360 link in the Revit Open Dialog box: Revit 201…
Check out this page from Autodesk Knowledge base. Notice how it describes three different ways of linking for BIM 360 Design projects that involve Revit worksharing: Method 1 – Controlled Sharing – ‘C…
Interesting to see that many BIM360 services are offline right now (approx 10am Australian time, 1 June 2018): You can always check Autodesk online service health at this link: Autodesk Health Dashboa…
I’m looking into ways to batch initialize Revit models onto the new BIM 360 Docs (Document Management) platform. It is a work in progress at the moment – in Revit 2018, I think that there is limited a…
Previously the Desktop Connector was built for BIM 360 Team projects running C4R. With the shift to B3D (BIM 360 Docs) platform, you need to: Install Desktop Connector Install beta version of a plugin…
If you are already a C4R user, for a while you can keep working as you are. But the entire platform is shifting from C4R to B3D (BIM 360 Docs), and you will eventually have to make the leap. In the lo…
