Link Revit Models in Autodesk for Government

While models are still in progress and being reviewed and shared you can link them to Autodesk for Government using Revit Cloud Worksharing. To decide how to link your models see visual workflow: Set Up Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro for Government.

There are two options for linking Revit models in Autodesk for Government:

1. Link Revit Cloud Models. This includes both Revit Workshared Cloud models and Revit Non-workshared Cloud models.

   To link in other Revit Cloud Models from the same project:

   1. From Revit, click Insert Link Revit.

   2. Click External Resource in the left panel of the file browser.

      Tip: This is the default location for the file browser when your host model is saved in the cloud.

   3. Navigate to the location of the cloud model, whether Cloud Workshared or Cloud Non-workshared.

   4. Select the model and click Open.

2. Link Local Models

   To create a link to on-premise Revit models:

   1. From the Insert tab in Revit, click Link Revit.

   2. Use the file browser to navigate to the location that contains the local model.

      Note: You need to select a common file location, like a mapped drive, in order for other team members to load this on-premise link.

   3. Select the model and click Open.
