Upgrade Information for Revit Cloud Worksharing (Alternate Method)

When you transition from an older release of Revit Cloud Worksharing to a newer release of Revit Cloud Worksharing, you must upgrade the project and its Revit models. In the following workflow, you upgrade the models individually in the Revit Cloud Worksharing project.

For the recommended method, see Upgrade Project Models for Revit Cloud Worksharing (Recommended Method)

Follow these steps to upgrade an Revit Cloud Worksharing project and associated Revit models before you start working in a newer release of Revit.

1. Launch the older release of Revit.
2. Browse to the cloud project that you want to upgrade.
3. Open each Revit model and save it to your local workstation.
4. Create a new project to be used with the newer release of Revit Cloud Worksharing in your BIM 360 Team hub.
5. Launch the newer release of Revit.
6. Open each Revit model that was saved to your local workstation in step 3 and save it.

   A newer version of the model is created.

7. Initiate collaboration on each model and specify the new project name that was created on BIM 360 Team in step 4.

   When you initiate collaboration, the model is associated with the new Revit Cloud Worksharing project.

8. Re-link the Revit models as needed.
9. Communicate to project team members that they should use the new project.

   There are now two separate and distinct projects (newer version and older version). Project team members must use the upgraded project and models when collaborating.

10. On BIM 360 Team, rename the older version of the project or deactivate it.
