Home Tool Navigation Basics

The Home tool is the main landing page for teams in Design Collaboration.

Learn how to use the Home tool:

1. Project Timeline

The Project timeline is located at the top of the Home tool screen, and is also available in the Issues, Project Status, and Changes tools.

The timeline tracks the packages and models shared by your team, and those that collaborating teams have shared and consumed, throughout the lifecycle of the project.

To open the timeline, click the handle at the top of the screen.

2. Timeline Filter

Click the Filter icon to open the timeline filter options. You can filter the timeline by team and model.

3. Create Package

A package is a container that allows you to bundle your team’s models, views, sheet sets, and supporting documents to share with other teams.

To make a package, click Create package, or expand the timeline and click the plus node at the far right of your team's line.

4. Email Notifications

You can receive emails to notify you each time a package is shared or consumed for your team.

Turn personal email notifications on and off using this option in the upper right corner of the team space:

5. Project Model

The Project Model gives you an aggregated view of the models in your team's selected content folders, with either the latest models consumed into your team space, or with the contents of a package you are exploring.

6. Search

Click the search box and enter search terms to search for models by name.

7. Publishing Options

Use the Publish latest option to update the content in your team space. This option publishes the latest sets directly inside Design Collaboration, and is useful for team members who don't have access to Revit. See Package workflows for more information.

Click Schedule publish to schedule a regular, automated publish of a team's Cloud Workshared Revit models, without the need to manually publish Cloud Workshared models.

8. Models List

The models list displays a list of all the models and associated sheets and 3D views in your Team Space, which typically represent sets that your team has published from Revit. Click the Sort icon on the column headings to control the order in which models are displayed in the list. You can sort by model name alphabetically, by the number of sheets, 3D views, and references, and by date last updated.

Click a model in the list to open it in the viewer. The Sets panel is displayed in the Content Browser on the left side of the screen, showing you details of the current set. From here you can quickly access other sets, or close the panel to view the selected model across the full screen.
