BIM 360 Part 2: Publishing Updated Models from Revit

When the time comes to share any updates with the other teams, you will need to Publish the latest model and/or sheets. You will also be able to compare past models to the latest model to review the changes in the BIM 360 viewer.

Let’s begin in Revit with our Project Model open.

Go to the Publish Settings under the Collaborate Tab in Revit

You have the option to select existing sets or creates new ones to Publish. Sets are created to save a list of 2D/3D views and sheets. If you choose not to include any sets then only the model will be included with the update.

Once you saved your selection of sets to publish you will then need to select Manage Cloud Models and select the project you are working with.

The next step will be to decide to “Publish All” which will include links or just to upload one model at a time.

I have some models that are failing to publish. How can I find out which models didn't publish when I try and publish all?

From our technical team:
Start with the Publish log in BIM 360 Doc Mgmt:
http://help.autodesk.com/view/BIM360D/ENU/?guid=GUID-898A6BAD-F45A-4941-9A86-D848A6EE9F00

If this doesn’t answer it, then we would need more info to better understand workflow, which would likely require a call.

When we include Sheets in the Publish set, and then view them in BIM 360, the view references (Elevation Markers, Section Markers, etc.), are not acting as live hyperlinks. Is this normal, or do I need to update a Publish Setting to get view hyperlinks to work?

[IMAGINiT Technologies]

From our technical team: The live hyperlinking of Revit models is only supported in the Plans folder. Hyperlinks will only work if the documents they refer too are also included in the publish set saved in Revit. The Hyperlinking feature is automatic for Revit files placed in the files folder, there are no other setting that control this feature. If you are following these guidelines and it’s still not working, you will need to log a case with Autodesk BIM 360 Support.
