Workflow: Revit Cloud Worksharing

Set up Revit Cloud Worksharing to collaborate on a model stored in the cloud, and learn how team members can use Revit to work on the model concurrently.

To set up Revit Cloud Worksharing

  1. The Autodesk Docs account administrator does the following:
    1. Launch BIM 360 Account Administration and sign in.
    2. Set up a Autodesk Docs project.
    3. Assign project administrators.
  2. The project administrators do the following:
    1. Organize folders for the project.
    2. Invite team members.
    3. Upload the Revit model to BIM 360 Document Management.
  3. Note: Workshared models should be initiated to Project Files folder on Autodesk Docs. It is not recommended to initiate to Plans folder on Autodesk Docs, as models will not work with Design Collaboration, can never be deleted, and can't be accessed with Desktop Connector. See Upload a Workshared Model to BIM 360 Document Management (Revit Cloud Worksharing).
  4. Team members can collaborate with the Revit team only or with external stakeholders.
    To collaborate with the internal team, do the following:
    1. Accept the invitation to the project sent via e-mail.
    2. Open a workshared cloud model and make changes in the model concurrently with other users.
    3. Synchronize with the central model to save your changes to the model.

      Project team members who use Revit can see these changes. However, the changes are not available to non-Revit users, such as external stakeholders.

    To collaborate with external stakeholders, share the latest version of the model by doing the following:
    1. Select the views and sheets you want to share.
    2. Publish the model to Autodesk Docs.
    3. Note: When you publish a model, the selected views and sheets are visible to external stakeholders. Only publish versions of the model that you want external stakeholders to see.
