Using cloud models for Revit, individual contributors or Revit LT users can link in a workshared model into a non-workshared model. Whether workshared or non-workshared models, the workflow is the same and you get the speed and syncing benefits of working in the cloud. Anytime you save, your changes are saved to the cloud. Simply hit the “save as” button, choose “Cloud Model”, then select the “Project Files” folder where you would like to save the model in BIM 360 Document Management. Saving to the cloud is just part of your workflow Individual users can store and share projects created in Revit and Revit LT as cloud models simply and easily in BIM 360. Now with Cloud Models for Revit you can manage non-workshared models in the same way you work with workshared models. However, there are so many benefits to using BIM 360 - a unified platform connecting project teams and data in real-time-for storage and collaboration that we wanted to extend access to more users. This limited use of the cloud model format and by definition excluded those using Revit LT which does not have the capacity for multi-user collaboration. It used to be that only workshared models could be stored in the Autodesk BIM 360 platform as cloud models. Other advantages of using cloud models include anytime, anywhere access to project data in the cloud and the ability to link directly into Revit. Cloud models enable efficient data transferĪ cloud model is a very useful data format optimized for cloud storage and syncing that –unlike a desktop Revit file (RVT)– is comprised of smaller pieces of data that can be much more efficiently transferred between the cloud and Revit. The big news is that with Cloud Models for Revit, individual users can now store and share projects created in Revit and Revit LT as cloud models simply and easily in BIM 360. If you haven’t explored using cloud models for Revit yet, I’m here to convince you to drop what you’re doing now and give it a try.
