Files

Autodesk Tandem allows you to incorporate and manage assets and spaces using source models. Follow these steps to add and manage models effectively.

Adding Models

From an open facility, access the Files Tab in the left-side menu.
Click + Import Model and choose an Import Method.

Note: If this is the first import, click 'Add Models'. Otherwise, select 'Import Model'.

Upload the Revit or IFC models via File Upload or Autodesk Docs to source models stored there. For Upload from Local Storage (File Upload) be sure to provide a title for the model. Users can drag and drop the file or use your file browser to locate and upload the model.

Set visibility options

If you do not want the model to load when accessing the facility, uncheck 'Visible in Default View'.
This will exclude the model from the initial facility load, but it can be turned on later.

Note: If your model has multiple phases, choose the desired phase before clicking 'Import'. Also, Tandem can only load one phase of the model.

When Importing Models from Autodesk Docs

Connect to Your Autodesk Docs Account. Autodesk Tandem uses your Autodesk ID to connect to your accounts and projects.
Select the appropriate account and project.
Locate and Import Files.
Select the desired phase if applicable and click 'Import'.

Processing time for models depends on the size. The larger and more detailed the model is, the longer it will take to process. Feel free to navigate away from the facility or browser while it is processed. That won’t stop the processing.

Note: Importing views from Revit, the Room data from those source files will be imported into the Tandem facility, regardless of the selected phase.

Model Alignment

If a user imports a model from ACC Cloud (Design Collaboration) and shifts, moves, or transforms the model, Tandem now informs the user that an alignment of the models is now available. This notification can be found under the Files tab.

Managing Imported Models

Toggle Load States to adjust the default load state of each model by toggling it on or off.

Update or Delete Models under 'More Actions', update the model to the latest version or delete it if needed.

By following these steps, you can efficiently manage and organize models within Autodesk Tandem, ensuring smooth integration with your projects.

Relink Models

The Relink Model feature in Autodesk Tandem allows users to relink models after transferring a facility from one Tandem account to another. This process is similar to Revit’s relink capability and ensures that models stay up-to-date within your Autodesk Docs account.

Open the File Section and navigate to the File section in Autodesk Tandem.
Access the Relink Option by clicking on the glyph menu (⋮) and selecting Relink.

Choose the Model From the Autodesk Docs account, select the model you need to relink. Important: Ensure you are selecting the correct Docs account where the model is stored.
Select the Phase or View (If Needed). If required, choose the Phase or view that should be imported.
Click Relink to confirm.

Autodesk Tandem will now recognize the new model location.

What Happens Next? Once relinked, any updates made to the model in Autodesk Docs can be pushed directly to the model in Tandem, ensuring your project remains current.
