Open or Join Teamwork Project

To open or join a Teamwork project in ARCHICAD:
1.
The project must already have been shared to the BIMcloud/BIM Server.
See Share a Teamwork Project in ARCHICAD.
2.
You must be a user on the BIMcloud/BIM Server.
See the BIMcloud/BIM Server User Guide for details.
Even if you are in offline mode, you can open a project which you joined earlier. However, since you cannot synchronize with the server when you are offline, you cannot be sure that the local copy you open is up to date.
Open Recent Teamwork Project
If you have recently opened the project on this computer with the current user name, you can just select it from the Recent Projects list, at the bottom of the File > Open sub-menu, or in the “Select a recent project” list of the Start ARCHICAD dialog box.
Choose Project from a BIMcloud/BIM Server
To choose a project to open from a BIMcloud/BIM Server, do one of the following:
•
Choose File > Open > Open/Join Teamwork Project
•
Choose Teamwork > Project > Open/Join Teamwork Project.
•
When starting ARCHICAD, choose Open Project, then Browse for a Teamwork Project.
See Start ARCHICAD.
The Open Teamwork Project dialog box appears. Select a BIMcloud/BIM Server and user as needed.
See Access the BIMcloud/BIM Server.
Select Project
In the Open/Join Teamwork Project dialog box:
For the selected server, the tree structure at left lists the project folders and projects on the BIMcloud/BIM Server to which you have access. Click the Refresh icon as needed to refresh the contents of the tree and the folders.
Note: The items you see here depend on your permissions.
•
Simplified Management: You are a member of a folder’s child project
•
Detailed Management: You have View item permission for the folder or any child folder/project
If the selected BIMcloud/BIM Server is shown as “Offline”, the tree structure shows only those projects that you already joined at an earlier time, and whose local data is available on your machine. You can open such a project and continue working on it in offline mode.
If any of these projects is currently locked on the server, it is still listed, but shown with a lock icon. You can open it in read-only mode.
For each project, the dialog box shows its status (whether you have joined it already), the last time it was modified, its size and the BIMcloud Server on which it is housed. (If that server is currently stopped, this is also shown.)
Click Open.
(If you have not yet joined the project, the command changes from “Open” to “Join.”)
You can now work on the opened Teamwork project.
Import Travel Pack
The Import button in the Open Teamwork Project dialog box enables you to import a Travel Pack file (.twtravel). (You create a Travel Pack to transport a Teamwork Project and/or project libraries to different locations).
See Travel Pack: Move Your Teamwork Project and Libraries to a Different Computer.
