Revit Worksharing and Collaboration 3

Question 1

What is the recommended network location for a Revit central model used by a distributed team?

Accepted Answer

A shared network drive or BIM 360/ACC cloud platform

Answer

Central models should be stored on a reliable shared network location or a cloud collaboration platform like Autodesk BIM 360/ACC so all team members can access them.

Question 2

In Revit, what is the function of the 'Specify' option when synchronizing with central?

Accepted Answer

Lets you choose which worksets to publish and which elements to relinquish

Answer

The 'Specify' option in the Synchronize with Central dialog lets you select which worksets to release and control comments added to the sync.

Question 3

Which of the following is a valid reason to use 'Detach from Central' when opening a Revit workshared file?

Accepted Answer

To create a standalone copy for archiving or issue coordination without affecting the team's central model

Answer

'Detach from Central' creates an independent copy of the model, useful for archiving, sharing with external parties, or testing without impacting the live central model.

Question 4

What does the 'Compact Central Model' option do during a Synchronize with Central operation?

Accepted Answer

Reduces the file size by cleaning up internal file data and fragmentation

Answer

Compacting the central model defragments its internal structure, reducing file size — this should be done periodically to maintain performance.

Question 5

In a cloud worksharing environment using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), local copies of Revit models are stored:

Accepted Answer

In a local cache on each user's machine, synced via Revit's cloud collaboration tools

Answer

ACC cloud collaboration still uses local cached copies of the model that sync changes to the cloud, similar to traditional worksharing but over the internet.
