In order for Revit to be able to switch to the issue, the view the issue was created in must be an existing view in the model (hence why we saved/sync’d) the model.

In order to have Revit recognize where the issue is, it must be associated to an actual element (typically done in a 3D View).

With the model hosted on BIM 360, I am able to review and identify some design issues that need to be addressed by the design team. For this session, I am going to use single user approach and save it up to BIM 360. Depending on if this is a cloud based workshared model or a cloud stored single user model, will determine which approach you will use to get the model on the cloud. Once the publish settings are setup, then it is time to push the model up to BIM 360. Using a standard BIM 360 / Revit setup, create view sets that will be used to publish the model up to BIM 360.

A future blog will cover the connection between the other platforms.įirst thing is to setup the model within Revit. In this workflow, I am going to focus on the connection between Revit 2021 and BIM 360 Document Management. Let’s take a dive under the hood and see this workflow in action. This add-in allows users to open, edit, comment and resolve BIM 360 issues within Revit this includes issues that have originated from multiple locations BIM 360 Design Collaboration, Model Coordination, Document Management and even Navisworks. The add-in is not available to Revit LT license holders. On December 14, 2020, Autodesk released the latest evolution to the connection between Revit (2020 and Revit 2021) and BIM 360 with it’s Revit Issue Add-in. The downside to this was that these issues were cloud focused and while reports could be made and distributed to teams, there was a lack of feedback, back into Revit. Additionally, providing designers with methods to review and identify potential design or coordination issues. Revit models were able to be stored, synchronized, published and viewed in the cloud. However, with the evolution of BIM 360, things seemed to be pretty single directional.

BIM 360 provided the AEC industry a cloud based solution that allowed teams from across the country to work more collaboratively and streamlined.Īs the AEC industry continues to evolve and more teams are working further apart and even working more remotely, BIM 360 continues to evolve and help designers to provide more streamline services.

The evolution of BIM 360 and Revit Cloud Worksharing revolutionized the capabilities of how Architects and Engineers alike, were able to collaborate.
