Starting a Work Sharing project by saving the Central Model in ACC

geteway2digitalindia — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:42:35 GMT

I am trying to create a Central Model for a Work-Shared project & trying to save the Central File in the Cloud - in my ACC account.

I did the following steps :

1. Started a new file in metric Multi-Discipline template.

2. Saved the file on my desktop as "ACCWorkSharing_Central.rvt".

3. Clicked on "Collaborate".

4. The option to save in the cloud is de-activated.

How to proceed from this stage onwards to save the file as a Central Work-Sharing file in my ACC account...

Please guide through the steps

Do you have a BIM Collaborate PRO license?

If you had clicked on the link in the Popup window it would have told you everything you needed to know in order to do this - and in most instances its because you have No Worksets defined in your project as mentioned in the link clicking on OK will create some default Worksets and now you are ale to save as expected

I only have some student IDs. Will it work with student accounts...

You stated you have an ACC account?

Depends on if you have access to Autodesk Cloud or Docs as part of your Student License offering - check using your Autodesk Account https://manage.autodesk.com/

Just thought I would point out that you are NOT allowed to use Student Licenses for paid work. The Student Licenses are truly just for students in secondary schools to learn the programs. It is violation of the agreement with Autodesk to use the Student License for paid work.

Agreed...

But just as with the other areas of learning, students sometimes seek exposure to real life projects happening in collaboration-worksharing basis.

This limitation proves a constraint at that time....

It is not a limitation. I am sorry you see it that way.
