Thanks for your reply it realy got us started. (sorry for the late reply
wanted to realy test stuff before replying).
The thing we do diffrent now is not uploading/collaborate before step 5.
The reason behind this is that creating an automatic RVT from a IFC by linking it also works fine offline.
In our testst it showed that this saved time with:
1/ not having to upload original IFC to BIM 360
2/ not losing time when your trying to link from the BIM 360 (with me it sometimes takes a long time
opening the path finder and vice versa with navigating trough it when using external content
(hope pathfinder is the correct term))
3/ Revit does not have to upload the automaticly created ****.ifc.rvt (and other files like the log) to the cloud
4/ Opening this automaticly created project is faster from the local server than from BIM 360
The diffrence in time may seem marginal, but with big industrial projects it is worth it to do the first steps offline,
So the current workflow we use now and works the " fastest " for us is:
1/ On local server in the project map create a folder IFC to RVT
2/ Save IFC in this folder
3/ Open an emty project and link the IFC's into here
4/ Revit automatically converts the linked IFC's to ifc.rvt in the same folder.
5/In a separte Revit sesion open the RVT created in step 4.
6/Collaborate this rvt model to BIM360 ( we use a seperate folder for example "IFC to RVT"
, because in my tests the links wouldn't show up when placed the same folder as the main model).
7/Open the main model (host) and link the collabrotated ifc.rvt's from external resources
8/ Setup the publishing set (and make sure there is a 3D view in this set 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)
9/ Publish model
A note to Autodesk:
Fix your stuff or at least make comprehensive/understandable tutorials for stuff like this.
After years of using Archicad in my study time it is a real bummer to work with Revit,
sadly our local field is Revit dominated and it would cost to much to re-eduacte our older collegeges
. (and i am not talking about not having enough knowledge about Revit,
i am talking about restrictions mostly because of the category system.)
Again thanks for the reply !!!
it was way better then the solutions that autodesk has on there multiple websites.
Wich are in many ways confusing.
