You’ve provided some information on a project and you want to make sure that one of your team members has looked at it. Might seem kind of sneaky, but how do you do that? It’s really easy: watch the video to learn how.
Oops! Something went wrong with your current file and you need to go back in time to try again. That’s easy to do with BIM 360 Docs. Just click on the version number:
That will open a window that will list out all of the previous versions. For any version you choose you can make it current, download it, or copy it to another location.
Check out the video to see how it’s done:
So you’ve set up a folder in BIM 360 Docs where you’d like your client to upload files. Wouldn’t it be great if you got an email as soon as they uploaded something? Yes it would! And you can make that happen by simply subscribing to that folder. Check out the video to see how’ it’s done.
Have you noticed that when you add a user to a project that you can specify a company and a role? This isn’t just busy work, the role and company properties serve a purpose. You can save yourself lots of time, now and in the future, by adding users to folders using roles and companies, instead of as individuals. Check out the video to learn more.
So you’ve created a new project, invited a few members, and nobody can see any folders. What’s the deal? Well, just adding someone to the project doesn’t give them access to any of the project data. To do that you need to add them to one or more folders using the Permissions function.

So maybe you don’t want to workshare with another Revit user (i.e. work in the same Revit model together, maybe even at the same time) but instead you just want to link to a file that’s being actively worked on by a design team. That’s live linking and you can watch the video below to see what that’s all about or you can skip to the lower section and just read about it.
So the first step to linking to any Revit file is to launch the Link to Revit command from the Insert tab of the Ribbon.

That’s where consuming packages comes in. This gives your team the power to decide when any changes from other teams are incorporated into your design environment. Watch the video to see how it’s done or just scroll on by and follow the steps if you’re too impatient to watch the video. You should know, however, that the video contains lots of extra insight in addition to the technical steps.
So how do you consume a package? It’s actually really easy.
