Any workflows that produce the same result? Can I even use worksets without collaboration? I just hate the instability that comes from having a central model on a cloud based platform like box or google drive because I always end up having issues.
Autodesk Revit is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) tool, which can be used by more than one person working on a new project. This is an important feature in collaboration within a project, between projects, and with other users, firms, and disciplines.

We suspect its because everytime we send an update, they open the IFC in revit, and link that into their model. From what we understand that generates new GUID's for the created revit elements. Therefore an elements jump to other locations as the GUID is either missing or has been allocated to another ifc element.
How is your model used in revit? It should be used as a linked reference model (and agreed on in the BEP). If such a model element has referenced other discipline elements (which is most likely a possible situation in revit) I don't think this should be a problem, if a linked reference model has to be updated on revits side.
I don't work with Revit so I don't have much experience with this, but I think this plugin works with the "link method", where the Archicad model is imported as a reference model. There is another "open method", where you import the IFC file and save it as a .rvt file, then this file is further linked to other revit files. This "open" method needs some additional workarounds: first option is exporting from archicad into three different models: ceilings only, floors only, everything else. Importing and linking the ceiling model IfcCovering to the Ceiling category, to the Floors category for the second model and Generic models category for the third model. Second option doesn't require multiple exports from archicad, but one IFC model only. On the Revit side this model needs to be imported with the open method with all elements, but the ceilings turned off. Then another import with the "link method" of the same file with all elements turned off, but ceilings turned on. There were several other suggestions made, but I don't think these would be applicable to your situation.
We are currently also exchanging data with another company on Revit. We also have some weird problems (correct geolocation in archicad using the survey point places the imported content in revit on a doubled Z position, two different file version exports with same export settings don't align perfectly (?!), but for general purpose of a reference model from our side to revit everything works well. Until now, most of the problems were identified, caused and solved on Revit side.
Autodesk Revit Collaboration Suite made its debut today at the American Institute of Architects [AIA] Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. Revit Collaboration Suite is a new pay-as-you-go offering that provides architects, engineers, and contractors with a more flexible, lower cost entry point to BIM workflows. With the latest releases of Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit software, plus Autodesk A360 Team cloud collaboration software, the suite provides the essential tools for collaborative model-based building design.
Revit users collaborate with on-premise Storage Sync and share files on Egnyte Cloud[/caption]From an operational perspective, AEC customers expect Storage Sync to be a Windows Server replacement. Once Storage Sync is deployed on-premise, IT admins require all of their users to continue to use the same drive letter (for e.g. P:) as they did before migrating to Egnyte. During the migration phase, IT administrators move certain project folders to Storage Sync while the remaining data is still served from the Windows Server. They leverage Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS) to consolidate the project folder namespace across the Windows Server and Storage Sync.After the Revit files are migrated to Storage Sync, the workflow for Revit collaboration is no different than Windows-based Revit collaboration. If a user wants to collaborate on a Revit project file, he will need to elevate the Revit Local file to a Central file using the File-based Worksharing mode and save the file. This enables other on-premise users to open the same file and work on different components of the project.An important caveat to note is that Storage Sync is not a functional replacement for Revit Server. This implies that Storage Sync facilitates Revit-based collaboration only within a specific on-premise location and not across geographically dispersed offices. Even though you can deploy Storage Sync instances across multiple offices and synchronize files between these locations, Storage Sync does not have the application-specific locking awareness to detect and moderate Revit locks among several geographically dispersed collaborators.
Revit is one of the most popular BIM software. It improves collaboration and communication between stakeholders in the project. Revid is a design modeling tool, but its capabilities are practically limitless.
In comparison with WAN-based collaboration, BIM Collaborate is definitely more affordable, and offers more capabilities beyond file-sharing. But it is out of bounds if your company can not or does not want to have its Revit files in the cloud.
For the successful execution of building projects, data management solutions and collaboration and integration of design teams is very crucial. Currently, the digital information is optimized by various building actors to improve the design and project productivity. The smooth flow of this digital information throughout the project lifecycle is important and beneficial both for owners as well as for building teams. To make all this happen, BIM solutions are implemented in AEC industry.
Revit based design collaboration: Revit allows it users to collaborate on a design so that the design quality can be enhanced. 3D BIM models that are developed with the assistance of Revit can be shared between different teams that are involved in design development.
A central model:This collaboration becomes possible with the help of a central Revit model. This model contains all the concerned building data. This model is saved in a shared location in LAN (local area network). So by saving it in a shared location, allows it to be accessible to multiple members. By saving a copy of this central model, to their local work stations, individual members of design teams can work independently on it. This newly created or saved local model works as an interface mechanism for updating changes made by individual members to the central model.
BIM Collaborate Pro connects architecture, engineering and construction teams on a single platform to make collaboration simpler. It improves communication, accelerates project timelines and reduces rework and RFIs.
Effective collaboration is key to the success of any construction project. In the world of building information modeling (BIM), bringing different teams together and ensuring they work with the right data is crucial. To facilitate seamless collaboration, Autodesk Construction Cloud introduces Bridge, a powerful tool that enables members to link cloud models from Revit to their Autodesk Construction Cloud account. This integration not only streamlines workflows but also enhances data accuracy and improves project coordination. In this blog post, we will delve into the benefits of using Bridge and Revit Cloud Worksharing, exploring how this workflow can revolutionize your collaboration efforts.
Bridge acts as a bridge (hence the name) between Revit models and the Autodesk Construction Cloud account, facilitating cross-team collaboration and data integration. By linking cloud models from Revit to the Construction Cloud, teams can work together in a centralized environment, eliminating data silos and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
With Bridge, members can access the most up-to-date project models, enabling real-time collaboration and reducing the risk of working with outdated or conflicting information. This synchronization ensures that all team members are working with the right data, promoting better decision-making and minimizing errors.
1. Setting Up Bridge:
- Access your Autodesk Construction Cloud account and navigate to the Bridge tool.
- Connect your Revit models to the cloud by linking them to your Construction Cloud account.
- This integration establishes a seamless connection between Revit and Construction Cloud, enabling data exchange and collaboration.
2. Enabling Revit Cloud Worksharing:
- In Revit, enable Cloud Worksharing for your project model. This step ensures that multiple team members can work on the same model simultaneously, enhancing collaboration and productivity.
3. Collaborating with Team Members:
- Share the linked cloud model with your team members through the Construction Cloud platform.
- Each team member can then access the shared model, make updates or edits, and see the changes reflected in real-time.
- This enables effective collaboration, as team members can work together on a single, synchronized model, fostering coordination and reducing conflicts.
1. Enhanced Collaboration: Bridge facilitates seamless collaboration by linking Revit models to the Construction Cloud platform. This connection enables real-time access and updates, promoting effective communication and teamwork.
3. Streamlined Workflows: The integration of Bridge and Revit Cloud Worksharing simplifies workflows by providing a single platform for project collaboration. This eliminates the need for manual file transfers or version control, saving time and effort.
Bridge and Revit Cloud Worksharing revolutionize collaboration in the construction industry by seamlessly linking Revit models to the Construction Cloud platform. By bringing teams together and ensuring they work with the right data, this workflow improves communication, enhances data accuracy, and streamlines project workflows.
