Practice exercise

00:02

This is a practice exercise video solution.

00:06

You'll open an existing 3D Revit project model

00:10

before collaborating it to the common data

00:12

environment for others to collaborate with you,

00:14

adhering to BIM and Project naming standard conventions,

00:18

and open a Works shared central model in Revit.

00:22

To begin,

00:23

open Revit,

00:24

and from the home screen,

00:25

click Open.

00:27

Navigate to the folder containing the provided data sets for this exercise.

00:32

Click to select the base level complete file and open to open the project.

00:39

Open the supplied BIM execution plan from the data set.

00:44

Scroll to Appendix A

00:46

to see how the files should be named in this project.

00:50

Rename the file

00:51

so that it meets naming standards

00:54

in Revit,

00:55

click file save as project.

00:59

Enter the following file name

01:01

for the project number

01:03

PRJ

01:07

You're working for the architectural company,

01:09

so ARC for the originator code.

01:13

This is all volumes or functional breakdown,

01:17

so Z

01:18

Z.

01:20

It's base level,

01:21

so 00.

01:23

It's the Revit native model,

01:26

so M3.

01:27

It contains architectural information,

01:30

so A.

01:32

And this is the first time that that naming sequence has been used,

01:36

so 0001 for the sequential number.

01:40

And click save to complete this step.

01:45

On the collaborate tab

01:47

on the manage collaboration panel,

01:49

click collaborate to begin creating a work shared central model

01:53

in the Autodesk Construction Cloud.

01:57

On the collaborate dialogue,

01:59

click to select in the cloud.

02:02

A Revit file stored in the Autodesk Construction Cloud

02:05

allows you to collaborate with others who also have access to the cloud

02:09

project space.

02:11

Click to select your ACC project.

02:15

Click to expand the folders.

02:18

If available,

02:19

click to select the architectural company folder.

02:23

And if available,

02:25

click to select the work in progress folder.

02:28

Ensure the folder is selected and the name is as per project requirements.

02:34

Click save to complete the setup.

02:38

Revit prompts you that this has been successful.

02:41

Click close to close the dialogue.

02:45

Navigate to Autodesk Construction Cloud and sign

02:47

in using your Autodesk account details.

02:50

Select your ACC Project

02:53

and the tools,

02:54

select Build,

02:55

click to select Docs,

02:57

and open the folders area of the project.

03:01

Navigate to the folder containing the Work shared project model.

03:05

In the Autodesk Construction Cloud,

03:07

if attributes are available,

03:09

enter the following metadata to provide

03:11

collaborative information on the project file

03:14

classification PM 403504 to indicate this is an architect's model.

03:23

And status code S0

03:25

work in progress.

03:28

In Revit,

03:29

any changes you make can be synchronized back to the cloud by clicking Collaborate,

03:34

the synchronized panel,

03:36

and synchronize with Central.

03:39

Click to close any of the open tabs and to close the Revit project.

03:44

On the Revit home screen,

03:46

clicking Autodesk Projects displays all of the

03:49

projects on your Autodesk Construction Cloud account.

03:52

Click to expand the projects and folders where you saved the Revit project file.

03:58

Note clicking the Revit file name will open Revit project directly from ACC.
