Migrate Linked Models to BIM 360

Use the Manage Links tool to reload the links from a BIM 360 Docs or BIM 360 Team project.

1. For each model that is linked to the host model, do the following in Revit:
   1. Open the linked model.
   2. Click Collaborate tabManage Collaboration panel (Collaborate).
   3. Select In BIM 360 Docs or In BIM 360 Team.
   4. Select the BIM 360 project where the host model is stored, and click OK.
   5. In the Collaborate dialog, click Initiate.

      Revit displays information about the status of the initiation process.

   6. Click Close to continue.

   Repeat this process for each linked model.

2. After you have initiated cloud collaboration from Revit on all linked models, open the host model in Revit.
3. Click Manage tabManage Project panel (Manage Links).
4. On the Revit tab of the Manage Links dialog, for each linked model, do the following:
   1. Select a linked model, and click Reload From.

      Notice that the file browser opens by default to the BIM 360 project location.

   2. Select the name of the linked file, and click Open.

      The cloud version of the link is cached on your local computer and loaded.

   Repeat this process to reload each linked model from the cloud location.

5. Click OK to close the Manage Links dialog.

Note: When a BIM 360 project is renamed, the Manage Links dialog may still reference the old project name in the link paths. The links will still resolve correctly, however the path may be confusing. To update the Saved Path to the new project name, use the Synchronize with Central tool, Synchronize and Modify Settings drop-down. Click OK. To update the link paths in the Manage Links dialog, click Reload.
