Importing Locations?

[Chad-Smith]

I have an existing project in Field, and would like to reuse the locations from there in Plan.

According to this, I should be able to reuse the locations from Field.

According to this, I should also have an Import button to import from an Excel file.

I am unable to use either of these methods. I can't see how to import from Field, and I certainly do not have an Import button.

How do you go about reusing existing Field data, or importing from a file?

Hi Chad:

Thanks for raising this issue - the article you found about adding locations to Plan has an error in it.  Plan does not have the ability to use a location set created in Field.  I agree this would be useful and we are working on building a more centralized way of managing locations across BIM 360.

The article that talks about importing locations from Excel is explaining a feature that is currently available for Field.

Sorry for the confusion.
