Autodesk has finally delivered a solution that solves many of these limitations which have slowed our collaborative project process and eliminated most of the IT overhead.Īutodesk A360 Collaboration for Revit changes Revit worksharing from locally collaborative to socially shared. In all, the information for the project was still loosely disconnected and decentralized. Lastly, communication was still limited to the occasional phone call, web meeting, or email transmission.

Someone had to set up the elaborate networking environments and managing their reliability. Someone had to upload and download models to and from the cloud repository. The unintended consequences of this methodology produced a lot of unnecessary overhead. However, the partners’ models were only as up to date as the day we downloaded and refreshed them. Instead, we continued to pass our models back and forth each week using a shared cloud repository in order to coordinate across disciplines. Nor, did they streamline the collaboration with models from our extended project partners. Neither methods solved the issue of working on the model from home or remotely. However, this was just an adaptation of on-premise worksharing. With Revit Server, we extended worksharing over the wide area network.

Until now, these methods have been on-premise. Posted on Maby Bill Knittle, Synergis Buildings Solutions Engineer:įor us seasoned Revit users, worksharing is a part of daily life when performing concurrent edits on our own model.
