BIM Viewer: Support for Linked Models

Important Note : This is only available for modules that are published to a Forge bucket and not for the models stored in the Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Organizations with complex buildings might represent the building in two or more models and then link these models together. For example:

• Each wing in a building might be represented with its own model.

• A building might be modeled according to discipline, such that it is represented with both an architectural model and a structural model.

• Each portion of the building might be represented with its own model because different design teams worked on each portion.

To work with linked models:

• Publish 3D linked models from Revit using the Archibus Smart Client Extension for Revit. ​

• All linked models are published to your Autodesk bucket.

• After the linked models are published, the BIM Viewer displays the consolidated view of linked models. If you want to see the separate views then use the Document Browser to display the architectural or equipment.views.

Note the following limitations with this new feature:

• The default view of the BIM Viewer shows only the content of the main model. Select the 3D View to see the content for both the main and linked model.

• Republishing models does not update the already-published model.

• Rooms contained in the linked model are not visible in the BIM Viewer.
