AC28 Teamwork - Cannot load local libraries

Algimantas Kuprenas — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 13:14:50 GMT

Hello,

Just started working with AC28 - 28.0.2 version and got missing thing in Library manager. I'am unable to add local libraries into Teamwork files, only Libraries from BIMcloud server can be added. Cannot add these "NEW GLOBAL" libraries from C: drive. For non-Teamwork projects local libraries can be added as it was on all previous AC versions.

I think it was always like this? At least for AC26 & AC27 I just checked and for TW Projects I can only add TW Libraries. I mean, it kind of makes sense. Otherwise how would another user have access to your local libraries?

If you want to make a local library available, you can upload it via "Manage BIMCloud Libraries" and then include it.

This solution may be correct but does not work well for point clouds that require and LCF file. I don't want to project specific load point clouds into the BimServer libraries. I want the point cloud library to be "locally" available, like the embedded library.

So for me this process with the BimCloud libraries is not a good solution.

Good practice is to have office wide libraries in a central location, then create a project library folder inside project on BIMcloud. Anything project specific - add there.
