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.

See Share a Teamwork Project in ARCHICAD.

2.You must be a user on the BIMcloud.

See the BIMcloud 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

To choose a project to open from a BIMcloud, 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 and user as needed.

See Log in to BIMcloud.

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 to which you have access. Click the Refresh icon as needed to refresh the contents of the tree and the folders.

//helpcenter.graphisoft.com/wp-content/uploads/ac22_help/080-collaboration/key00104.png    Permissions required to view items:

-Simplified Management: You are a member of a folder’s child project

-Detailed Management: View item permission for the folder or any child folder/project

If the selected BIMcloud 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.
