Publish workshared or non-workshared Revit models to the cloud so other team members who don’t have Revit can view, search, and work with the cloud models.
When you publish a model, only the default 3D view and 2D sheets are published by default. Additional sheets and views are published when you change the Publish Settings—see Select Views and Sheets to Publish to the Cloud. The time required to complete the publishing operation depends on the size of the model. You can publish a single model or multiple models to the cloud at a given time.
About publishing with links
Publish with links when you want the published viewable to show the host model in the context of its linked models. This is useful when reviewers need to understand how the model coordinates with other disciplines, such as architectural, structural, MEP, or site models.
Publishing with links can help when you need to:
- Review the model as part of a larger project context.
- Coordinate geometry across disciplines.
- Share a more complete project view with team members who do not have Revit.
- Support model review, issue creation, or coordination workflows where linked model content is needed.
By default, publishing includes loaded links. The time required to publish depends on the size of the model, and publishing with links may take longer when linked models are large or numerous.
About publishing without links
To save time, you can publish just the host model without links. Publish without links when you only need to share the host model. This option publishes the selected model without including content from linked models. It can be useful when linked model context is not needed, or when you want to reduce the amount of data included in the published viewable.
- Save time by publishing only the host model.
- Share a smaller, more focused version of the model.
- Review or distribute a single discipline model without showing linked content from other teams.
- Avoid publishing linked model information that is not relevant to the current review.
- Create a clearer viewable when linked models would add unnecessary visual complexity.
