And lastly, it again saves a local copy in the CollaborationCache. Then it saves all your changes to the Central file (on BIM 360). Next, it reloads any information that you did not have that your colleagues would have synced. So, what does this Revit Cloud Worksharing server do? Well, when you synchronize your work, you would have seen how Revit shows you what it is saving.įirst, it saves your changes to your Local CollaborationCache folder hidden on your C-Drive. This Revit Cloud Worksharing Server (RCW) is another Cloud service you should subscribe to on the Autodesk Health Dashboard. You might have spotted this name when looking at the Autodesk Health Dashboard to see if any of the BIM 360 services are not working as expected. This is called the Revit Cloud Worksharing/Cloud Models server. This is the server that we can “view” when we open BIM 360 Docs on a web browser or a mobile app.īut there is another server. This server is where all our documents, Revit models and other design information is being stored. The one that we all know, is the BIM 360 Docs server. Most people are unaware of the servers that are being utilized when working on a cloud workshared model. Then, once printed, you would take these sheets, roll them up in a tube and take them to the site where you will hand it over to the correct stakeholder. During printing, you might print the entire job, or you might have only selected a certain set of drawings to print. When you were done with a design, you would save your work, and then start with the printing process. I always try and relate the BIM 360 workflow back to how we used to work in the office, before emails and cloud platforms. Use the Revit Cloud Worksharing service to author Revit models in the cloud concurrently with other team members One thing that has stayed the same since the beginning though, is the workflow of creating and sharing your Revit design with the broader collaboration team. Since the release of BIM 360 Design in early 2018, there have been multiple and continuous updates to the platform. If this statement is something that you have said in the last couple of months, then you are not fully aware of the process of getting a live Revit model updated in BIM 360. “I sync my Revit model regularly, but it is not the same as the BIM 360 model”
