Important: A PLN file uploaded to BIMcloud is not the same as a shared Teamwork Project. An uploaded PLN file cannot be used in Teamwork.

To create a Teamwork project, you must share the project from ARCHICAD.

File Exchange with ARCHICAD

From ARCHICAD, you can publish or export the entire model or any Publisher items directly to the BIMcloud.

As always, you must log in to a running BIMcloud as a valid user with appropriate permissions, and you must choose a destination folder to which you have permission.

Do any of the following from ARCHICAD:

Use File > Export to BIMcloud. This uploads the current model to the BIMcloud in a variety of formats.

Use the Publisher to set up one or more Publishing sets or items. In the Publisher Set Properties dialog, use the Browse button to choose “To BIMcloud”.

From Issue Organizer, select and export Issues to BIMcloud in BCF format.

ARCHICAD can directly access all files uploaded to BIMcloud. For example:

Place and update hotlinked models directly from BIMcloud

Place and update any drawing (e.g.: DWG, DXF) directly from BIMcloud

Merge any drawing or model into the current project from BIMcloud (File > Interoperability > Merge from BIMcloud)
