Manage Project Settings
Project administrators can specify the main model used by the project, and manage support for DWG files in the project.
Note: The Settings tool in Design Collaboration contains multiple tabs. This topic describes the Manage tab. The Project tab displays the project name, type, and address, the start and end dates for the project, and project locations. It is common to all Autodesk Construction Cloud projects, and is described in more detail here. The function of the Shared Folder, Team Setup, and Coordination tabs are described in the Manage Teams topics.
Select a Main Model
The main model is used to derive details for levels and phases in the project. It is also used for certain hypermodel features.
If no main model is selected, the largest published model is used.
To select the main model:
- Click the Settings tool.
- Click the Manage tab.
- Select the model you want to use as the main model from the drop-down list.
The list of models is populated from the shared folder.
Manage DWG Support
The performance of Design Collaboration can be affected by having large numbers of DWG files in your project.
To turn DWG support on and off for the project:
- Click the Settings tool.
- Click the Manage tab.
- Toggle the DWG support option to turn DWG support on or off for the project.
Tip: To improve the performance of Design Collaboration with DWG support on, we recommend that you keep only DWGs that are relevant to the design in the team folder. You can store non-design DWGs, for example deliverables, in a separate folder outside the team folder.
