![]() ![]() BIM 360 works so well, that by all reasonable accounts, it's the only option available. Without a doubt, BIM 360 is the easiest and overall cheapest (all things considered) option for those who use Revit on a consistent and frequent basis. The only two viable options are this: You can purchase a BIM 360 license and use Autodesk's cloud service, or you can have your I.T. You do have options, and Remote Desktop to a local machine on the network isn't a great or ideal workflow either. This topic has been asked and discussed for at least ten years, and is still asked today among new Revit users in the community and the answer has always been and always will be - it does not work. Is there any way to use Revit on this kind of platform? Or does it need to live on a hard server and everyone just accesses via Remote Desktop or something? We are geographically spread apart even without the plague shutting down the office, so this will be a permanent setup, whatever we do. So, my assumption is that even though Egnyte is not synced to individuals' desktops, it has to be caching data somehow, which is screwing up Revit. But the file is acting weird, and we keep having to restore an old copy of it, which is probably the most annoying thing ever. We are all opening without creating a local copy, as the central model, from the OPEN dialogue box in Revit. Now, there is an option to force certain folders to sync for offline access, which we have told anyone who accesses the Revit files to NOT do. Kind of like OneDrive, but you can map it. Our company uses a program called Egnyte for file management, which has an app which basically uses a Network drive as cloud storage. However, we are starting to have to do small bits of work in Revit, and we are having a few growing pains. I work in AV, and as an industry we still mostly work in CAD. Confession time, I'm not great with Revit. ![]()
