    <description>&lt;P&gt;On behalf of a customer from Germany let me post the following wish:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Currently IFC files, stored in the cloud,&amp;nbsp; won't appear through nested links in a cloud worksharing model. Request is allow the support of IFC through nested links in cloud worksharing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This issue impact not only ifc, but non-workshared nested links as well. See &lt;A href="https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-cloud-worksharing/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Cannot-open-linked-document-received-when-nested-attached-RVT-links-from-Desktop-Connector-loaded-into-a-Revit-Cloud-Workshared-cloud-model-in-Revit.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;this article&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;That Revit IFC links work the same way than rvt / dwg / dwf links.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Currently&amp;nbsp;when having a revit file with linked IFC, on upload linked files we cannot select the IFC files nor do they get displayed whan viewing in the browser.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Nic Maes&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Same issue here, but how we solved this scenario&amp;nbsp;at the moment is&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. We link in IFC file to Revit&amp;nbsp;and saved it. In this case, Revit&amp;nbsp;will generate &amp;lt;Name&amp;gt; ifc.rvt at the same location of linked IFC folder.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. We remove original .ifc link file, then link in back Revit generated &amp;lt;Name&amp;gt; ifc.rvt file and save the Revit file again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. So when&amp;nbsp;we upload to BIM360 docs with link file, we can choose &amp;lt;Name&amp;gt; ifc.rvt file as the link file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;P.S We try this workflow with Revit 2017 version. We havn't&amp;nbsp;test with old version yet.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi there,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am also interested in if this idea has had any further progress since being changed to "under review" in September.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Can anyone from Autodesk please provide an update?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;yes, a very important feature for specialist sub contractors to be able to display their model in the federated 'design collab' model.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

This needs to be integrated into docs/design asap, or suitable workaround advised. Revit is a great tool, but does not have many specialized functions that other specialist BIM tools have, so we cannot expect entire supply chain to be on Revit. this makes docs/design unusable at constuction stage and required entire model to be exported to Navis, which defeats the purpose of Design Collab. At nearly 1k for a single user license, this fundamental item, outstanding for over 2 years is hardly acceptable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any Update?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

I had contact with Autodesk Bim360 Design support. They told me ifc linking is not supported in Bim360 Docs. They advised me the following workaround, which we don't use but it may be helpfull to you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;DIV class="mceNonEditable lia-copypaste-placeholder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class="mceNonEditable lia-copypaste-placeholder"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Open a new Revit model&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Import IFC and save te model&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3) Link this new Revit model to parent model&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4) Upload new linked model to Bim360 Document Management.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We tried it and it didn;t work for us. Our solution:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Under the project in Bim360 docs, under Project Files, create a folder IFC&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Upload the IFC's to this folder&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3) Open the Revit main model en link these IFC's&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4) Bim360/Revit automatically converts the linked IFC's to ifc.rvt in the same folder. Don't wait for it, it can take hours. Do something else instead en check again later if all the ifc's are converted&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;5) Open these .ifc.rvt's seperately in Revit and collaborate them in Bim360, but not under the IFC folder, since you can't collaborate a file when a file with the same name is already there. Use another folder under Project Files to store these converted ifc's.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;6) Open the main model and load these ifc.rvt via external resources (which only shows collaborated models)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;7) Synchronize your main model&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/html/@35E1EB867C0FE4FC18284C52F598D39F/emoticons/1f60e.png" alt=":cara_con_gafas_de_sol:" title=":cara_con_gafas_de_sol:" /&gt; Make drawing sets under Publish Settings&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;9) Publish the model with Manage Cloud Models.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And voila, everything works flawless. Good luck with it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We really need this&amp;nbsp;IFC&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;linking in BIM360 Docs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Autodesk, please be advised that&amp;nbsp; Graphisoft is said to support this function in its BIMCloud product, which would be the competitive product of BIM360.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/6872550"&gt;@r.waandersEF3FP&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; Thanks for your reply it realy got us started. (sorry for the late reply&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;wanted to realy test stuff before replying).&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The thing we do diffrent now is not uploading/collaborate before step 5.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;The reason behind this is that creating an automatic RVT from a IFC by linking it also works fine offline.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;In our testst it showed that this saved time with:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;1/ not having to upload&amp;nbsp; original IFC to BIM 360&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2/ not losing time when your trying to link from the BIM 360&lt;EM&gt; (with me it sometimes takes a long time&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;EM&gt;opening the path finder and vice versa with navigating trough it when using external content&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;EM&gt;(hope pathfinder is the correct term))&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;3/ Revit does not have to upload the automaticly created&amp;nbsp; ****.ifc.rvt (and other files like the log) to the cloud&lt;BR /&gt;4/&amp;nbsp;Opening this automaticly created project is faster from the local server than from BIM 360&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The diffrence in time may seem marginal, but with big industrial projects it is worth it to do the first steps offline,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;So the current workflow we use now and works the " fastest " for us is:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1/ On local server in the project map create a folder IFC to RVT&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2/ Save IFC in this folder&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3/ Open an emty project and link the IFC's into here&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4/ Revit automatically converts the linked IFC's to ifc.rvt in the same folder.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;5/In a separte Revit sesion open the RVT created in step 4.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;6/Collaborate this rvt model to BIM360&amp;nbsp;&lt;EM&gt;( we use a seperate folder for example "IFC to RVT"&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;EM&gt;, because in my tests the links wouldn't show up when placed the same folder as the main model).&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;7/Open the main model (host) and link the collabrotated ifc.rvt's from external resources&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;8/ Setup the publishing set (&lt;EM&gt;and make sure there is a 3D view in this set&amp;nbsp; in our test we had problems with links not showing up when there was no 3D view in the published set even when the order (step 1-7 was followed)&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;9/ Publish model&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;A note to Autodesk:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Fix your stuff or at least make&amp;nbsp;comprehensive/understandable tutorials for stuff like this.&lt;BR /&gt;After years of using Archicad in my study time it is a real bummer to work with Revit,&lt;BR /&gt;sadly our local field is Revit dominated and it would cost to much to re-eduacte our older collegeges&lt;BR /&gt;. (and i am not talking about not having enough knowledge about Revit,&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;i am talking about restrictions mostly because of the category system.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;FONT size="5"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Again thanks for the reply !!!&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;FONT size="5"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;it was way better then the solutions that autodesk has on there multiple websites.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;FONT size="5"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Wich are in many ways confusing.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Nice to hear &lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/9101762"&gt;@benschilders&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; and thank you for your follow up since we all can learn from that.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There's another way to go with this, since it does takes time to load in the ifc's in a project. You can't do this in batch and it needs to be done one by one&amp;nbsp; so it will need your continuous attention. And you can only go on with number 2 if number 1 is finished loading. So I tried the following and this worked even quicker.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I had to convert 12 IFC's to RVT's yesterday. I opened Revit2019 12 times. Went to the first Revit version, file&amp;gt;open&amp;gt;ifc and opened ifc 1. While it was loading, I switched to Revit 2, opened ifc 2 and so on. When I was finished opening 12, 1 was already loaded. Go to 1, save as rvt, collaborate, done. Go to 2. And so on. It took me only 2 hours to convert 12 IFC's, convert them to RVT and have them collaborated. Those were giant IFC's of almost 1Gb, they ended as a 30Mb RVT. Link those with external resources in your main model and you're done even quicker.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
