Success Plan: Model Co-authoring for Buildings Maturity 1
The ability of members of a design team to collaborate securely in real-time on design models, while working remotely from a wide variety of locations, with simplified workflows and centralized data.
Course overview
The ability of members of a design team to collaborate securely in real-time on design models, while working remotely from a wide variety of locations, with simplified workflows and centralized data.
- Do you want to use local worksharing on isolated projects within network or in a cloud environment?
- Do you wish your model co-authoring, development were such that repeating the same steps is possible for wider adoption across the organization? Do you want alignment of standards for teams, linking, review etc?
- Do you need multi-team / multi-discipline collaboration on multiple model files in cloud solutions, utilising team controls and permissions, issue management, mark-ups and version control?
- Are you able to work through complex standards issues with high level of inter-dependency of capabilities?
- Do you want state of the art practices and maximizing impact of business outcomes and values around model co-authoring?
Any of the modules in this course will help you accomplish any of the objectives above. Simply get started in the module of your choice depending upon the technology that your team has access to.

Coordinate Designs Across Disciplines by Setting the Shared Coordinates
Set up the shared coordinates at the beginning of the project to reduce design errors and make collaboration easier across disciplines. In this module, you learn what questions to ask in order to define the project coordinates. Then, you add the shared coordinates to the Revit model to ensure everything lines up across disciplines and design firms.
