RECEIVED CONSULTANTS FILES

Anonymous — Sat, 22 Aug 2020 17:26:16 GMT

--> Whats the best way for me to treat the received files from an engineer ?

- do i place them in my file basically in AC or in a folder for everyone to access ?

- is there any kind of dynamic link created when I place them so others will also be able to have them appear in the file when opened by colleagues ?

- Is there a way of linking these files in AC so i can then delete the version on my C drive

thX

Hello atfonit,

What kind of 3D model ? Structure, MEP, etc.
What kind of file ? PLN, IFC, RVT, etc.

Did you try to link this 3D model by "Place Hotlink Module..." into "External content" ?

Atfonit,

You are able to link these files as modules to update them when you need.
But it might be better to collaborate with BIMcloud !
