BIM 360 Design: Inviting outside users to your company project

February 27, 2019 Cherisse Biddulph

To invite outside company users to your project first make sure they are aware they will need to purchase a seat of BIM 360 Design for any user who needs access to the project inside Revit.

The BIM 360 account admin will need to sign into BIM 360 and do the following:

  1. Add the company name
  2. Add the user
  3. Add the user to the members list
  4. Invite that user to a project and grant permissions to the folder(s).  If you do not have a members tab then you are not the account admin for your company's site.
  5. Give the user(s) permissions to access folder(s).

 

From the Account Admin Module you will need to add their company name.

Click on the Companies tab. Click the Blue Add button.

Fill out the company information and click the Save button.
