Cloud Workshared Model Displays as V1 on BIM 360/Forma

Revit version(s):  Revit 2018.3 and higher*

Issue:   After following the correct steps to upload a Revit cloud workshared model to Forma/BIM 360 (Collaborate > In the cloud), the version shown for the model is V1.

When first published to Forma/BIM 360, cloud workshared models should appear as V2 as shown in the example below.

Besides displaying the wrong version, the following symptoms may also be seen:

• You cannot view the model/views from a web browser.
• You cannot open or link the model into another cloud model.
• Attempting to download the model from a web browser fails with an error.
   

Cause:  The model failed to fully process or publish to Forma (or BIM 360 Document Management)
 
Solution:  To resolve the issue, try one of the following until the cloud workshared model fully processes and functions as expected:

• Re-trigger the publishing action by selecting Publish Latest.
• If there are no changes available to publish, make a minor change in the model, sync to central, and then publish the latest.
• If these steps do not resolve the issue, rename or delete the model from Forma from a web browser, attempt to collaborate the model to Forma, and verify that it finishes processing and displays as V2.
   

*Note:   As of 6/30/2026, Revit 2022 cloud workshared models and older are no longer supported by Autodesk.  The information contained in this post may no longer be relevant and/or the necessary updates to the product may be inaccessible.
