@benschilders  , yes we have a workaround for now. 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.

 
 

1) Open a new Revit model

2) Import IFC and save te model

3) Link this new Revit model to parent model

4) Upload new linked model to Bim360 Document Management.

 

We tried it and it didn;t work for us. Our solution:

 

1) Under the project in Bim360 docs, under Project Files, create a folder IFC

2) Upload the IFC's to this folder

3) Open the Revit main model en link these IFC's

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

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.

6) Open the main model and load these ifc.rvt via external resources (which only shows collaborated models)

7) Synchronize your main model

9) Publish the model with Manage Cloud Models.

 

And voila, everything works flawless. Good luck with it.
