BIM Collaborate Pro Essential Training

Course details

If your team uses Revit, you know that worksharing enables multiple users to access and make changes to a single Revit project simultaneously. BIM Collaborate Pro lets you extend worksharing to the cloud! In this course for architects, designers, engineers and planners, instructor Paul F. Aubin explores how using BIM Collaborate Pro allows you and your coworkers to store your central model in a secure cloud-based hub and work on it as if it were stored on your local server. Paul walks you through joining your first BIM Collaborate project, troubleshooting member access and file version issues in the cloud, using Revit links and shared coordinates in BIM Collaborate, and much more. Best of all, BIM Collaborate Pro is a part of the Autodesk Construction Cloud, which means that your Revit models and other associated project files can be made accessible to all stakeholders in a highly secure environment, complete with granular permissions.
