Model Revisions

Model revisions might occur during project execution.

Model with Same Name

Follow the same process of the initial exporting from AutoCAD or Revit or importing an IFC file.

Notice the following parameters while updating the model.

  • The Model file is the same file name that you have opened to update.
  • The Location is populated from the previous selection and lets you export as a new model.
  • The Config Options use the previous settings.

Model with a Revised Name

Follow the same procedure of the initial exporting from AutoCAD or Revit or importing an IFC file.

Notice the Model file has .rev2 added to it, different from the initial file name.

The system puts the revised model stream in the previously selected location.
