How to upload or collaborate a model to Autodesk Construction Cloud Docs
You have two options when working with teams over the cloud.
• Collaborating a model from with Revit
• Uploading a model directly to Autodesk Docs
Collaborating a model from with Revit
Within Revit 2021 through Revit 2024 you will first save your model locally. You will not use this model after collaborating so you can either archive it or delete it once the collaboration is successful and you can close/open/sync to the cloud and publish.
• Collaborate to the cloud by going to the Collaborate tab and clicking on Collaborate.
Revit 2021 Collaborate dialog box.
Revit 2022 through 2024 Collaborate dialog box.
Make sure your model’s name is what you want it to be and select on the Autodesk Construction Cloud site you want to collaborate to.
In Revit 2021 select the project name and then 'Project Files' folder.
Once you are inside the appropriate folder you will click Initiate. It is very important that you do not save inside the shared or consumed folders these are a part of the Design Collaboration Teams.
In Revit 2022 through 2024 select the project name and then 'Project Files' folder and select 'Save'
Uploading a model directly to Autodesk Docs
If you have a .dwg, .ifc, .nwc, or even an .rvt that doesn't need to be collaborated through Revit you can manually upload the model so others can link it into their model if needed. There are three different ways to upload your model to the cloud.
1. Manually upload through the Autodesk Construction Cloud website:
• Go to the ACC website and click on the Project.
• On the Document Management module click on the folder you want to upload your file to and click the blue Upload button.
This will be the way you upload various file types like; .dwg, .nwc, .ifc, etc.
2. Saving a non-worsharing .rvt through Revit option 1:
• Inside Revit go to the File pulldown menu.
• Click 'Save As'
• Click 'Project'
• In the Save As dialog box click on the "Save in:" dropdown menu and change it to ‘Users name'.
• Click on ‘DC’ and then ACCDocs.
• Click on the Site name
• Click on the Project
• Click on the Project folder where you want to save the nonworkshare model.
3. Saving a non-worsharing .rvt through Revit option 2:
• Inside Revit go to the File pulldown menu.
• Click 'Save As'
• Click on 'Cloud Model'
• In the Save as Cloud Model dialog box click on the projects name to the left of the dialog box. On the right, click on the Folder that you want to save your model in.
