How to Issue Collaborate Pro (BIM360 Design) Project Files

Sharing you latest Revit model on BIM360 Collaboration with the Project Team works a little differently and there are number of different ways to collaborate on BIM360.

Step by Step of the 3 methods are outlined here on Autodesk’s Knowledge base. Below outlines the overarching differences of each approach.

1. Method 1: Controlled Sharing - Consume Models from Packages

   1. This method offers the most control. The issuer chooses when they want to share their model. Plus the recipient can choose when they want to consume or update the version of this model they are using. This avoids any unwanted disruption to the documentation/design process until you want it to happen, but can mean people are working with old information.

2. Method 2: Controlled Sharing - Link from the Shared Folder

   1. This method only gives control to the person issuing the model. As soon as they “share” their model, the recipient automatically is working off that shared information.

3. Method 3: Live Linking

   1. With this method, all users are working with the live models, which offers the most up to date information. However, it can be counter productive if there are lots of design changes.
