Thank you Shane very useful. If I get confused again I'll be back in touch.

Hi Graham,

Hope you are well. Simply put, I would consider the structure as consisting of these three parts:

Workset - the project folder. A Workset should be created for each project, similar to how you would have created a new project in Hevacomp. The Workset contains all the project material data, weather data, schedules data, and so on, and all the project results.
Workspace - a collection of Worksets
DGN - the 3D model. This should reside in the Workset. Just leave the location as default.

The process I would recommend to create a new project can be found here.

Should you wish to save Worksets/Workspaces in custom locations, eg a shared server, you can do so as shown here.
