Revit Worksharing and Collaboration 5

Question 1

Which file extension is used for Revit local copies in a traditional (non-cloud) worksharing setup?

Accepted Answer

.rvt (same as central)

Answer

Local copies use the same .rvt extension as the central model; they are distinguished by their file path and internal worksharing metadata, not the extension.

Question 2

What happens to elements on a closed workset when another user syncs changes that affect those elements?

Accepted Answer

The elements remain unloaded locally but the changes are recorded in the central model and will appear when the workset is reopened

Answer

Changes to closed workset elements are still stored in the central model; they become visible in the local session only when the workset is reopened.

Question 3

In Revit's Collaborate tab, what does the 'Manage Cloud Models' option primarily allow project administrators to do?

Accepted Answer

Control access permissions, manage collaborators, and organize cloud-hosted Revit models on ACC

Answer

Manage Cloud Models lets BIM managers control who can access cloud-hosted workshared models, assign roles, and organize projects within Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Question 4

When would you use the 'Save Local File Before and After Synchronizing with Central' option in Revit Options?

Accepted Answer

To create automatic backups of your local file at sync time, providing recovery points if the sync is interrupted

Answer

This option creates local backups immediately before and after each sync, which helps recover work if a sync failure or network interruption corrupts the local file.

Question 5

Which of the following best describes a 'non-owner' status for an element in a Revit workshared model?

Accepted Answer

The element is not currently checked out by any user and is available for editing

Answer

A non-owner status means no user currently has edit rights to the element, making it freely available for any team member to borrow and modify.
