Revit Collaboration with ISO 19650: BIM Project Management

Explore how Revit collaboration tools support work-sharing and worksets, enabling a central BIM model with controlled ownership, permissions, and imports or links (IFC, AutoCAD) for coordinated team projects.

Map Revit collaboration tools to ISO 19650 by managing central and local models, work sets ownership, cloud-based BIM 360, issue tracking, and coordination review within a common data environment.

Learn worksharing terminology in Revit, including central model, local model, active work set, and element borrowing, and understand collaboration methods like cloud-based ACC and Revit server.

Master the collaborate tab in revit to manage worksets, edit ownership, send edit requests, and synchronize with central while tracking pending actions.

Enable Revit collaboration by using a central server file with local copies, enforce unique usernames, and configure manual or scheduled syncing and local file locations for efficient teamwork.

Create a central template that supports all four disciplines to enable a shared central model. Generate local files from it and enable server work sharing for collaboration.

Create and manage worksets in a central file and local files, assign each user ownership of their workset, and synchronize to ensure isolated yet shared team models.

Learn how to manage worksets in Revit, including active vs editable status, owner and borrower roles, and the request workflow to borrow and edit elements, with visibility and lock considerations.

Explore how to manage worksets in Revit for collaborative BIM projects: open, visible, rename, delete, move elements between worksets, sync changes, and control view visibility and graphics.

Learn how to close a worksharing file in Revit by selecting between synchronize with central or save locally, and how relinquishing ownership affects other users and central access.

Open a local Revit file efficiently by selecting among all, editable, last viewed, or specified options, and manage worksheets to optimize performance and speed up collaboration.

Explore how the work sharing monitor shows who works on the project and last sync status. Manage pending requests, grant or deny actions, and use visibility graphics to coordinate structure.

Learn to use the work sharing monitor to track active users, open windows, and editing requests, grant or deny access, and monitor file syncing and notifications in a BIM project.

Learn how the worksharing monitor manages notifications, syncing options, and history, and how reload latest and synchronize differ across central and local files.

Use rollback in Bristol Backup to restore a prior version, noting you cannot undo; save as and choose between existing copy or new local file for central syncing and milestones.

Repair damaged central files with the BIM coordinator, then detach from central to create a local for collaboration, choosing to preserve or discard worksets as needed for the new file.
