Projects Page

Use the Projects page of BIMcloud Manager to organize and manage the following items to which you have access:

•Teamwork Projects

•BIMcloud Projects

•Folders (regular folders and library folders)

•BIMcloud Libraries

•Uploaded files

You can organize these items into any folder hierarchy as needed, e.g. all projects belonging to a studio go into one folder, or all libraries into one folder. (Use the Move command to organize items: see Move Item.)

The Projects page of BIMcloud Manager can contain two distinct types of projects:

Teamwork Projects

A design project shared from ARCHICAD to the BIMcloud, and used in Teamwork. Teamwork Projects are listed on the Projects page of BIMcloud Manager, at any level of the folder hierarchy.

Permissions for Teamwork Projects

Permissions for specific Teamwork Projects contain ARCHICAD level permissions as well. If a user Joins a project from ARCHICAD, then the permissions granted on the project's access panel will control what he/she can do in ARCHICAD.

Required permissions to Join a project using ARCHICAD:

•Simplified management:

-Project/Server Administrator management role or

-Any user who has been added to the project’s Access list (even without any further permissions)

•Detailed management:

-Any user who has View item permission for the project. (Traversing applies)

Required permissions to work from ARCHICAD:

•Use the ARCHICAD permissions to control what each individual user can do in ARCHICAD (see ARCHICAD Related Permissions)

BIMcloud Projects

A folder-like container, created on the Projects page of BIMcloud Manager. Use a BIMcloud Project to store (for example) Teamwork Projects, files of any format, and sub-folders in one place. Unlike regular folders, BIMcloud Projects can have unique Teams of users assigned to them and/or to their sub-items.

For more information, see BIMcloud Project.

Remember: A PLN file uploaded to BIMcloud is not the same as a shared Teamwork Project. Even if you upload a PLN file to the BIMcloud, you cannot use it for Teamwork. To create a Teamwork project, you must share the project from ARCHICAD.
