    Using iTwin Referencing for Coordination with Revit

      Product: OpenBuildings Designer
      Version: CONNECT Edition
      Area: Interoperability
    Subarea: Revit

    The Situation

    Do you need to reference a Revit model to your OpenBuildings Designer model so that you can coordinate between disciplines?

    Solution

    Use the iModel Hub to connect the Revit model to an iModel, then reference the iModel to your OpenBuildings model using the Attach iTwin tool.

    The Attach iTwin tool is a part of the Collaborate tab In OpenBuildings Designer Update 8 which brings together collaboration, synchronization, and issue resolution tools available in OpenBuildings Designer for seamless coordination between different teams on a project. Using this tool you can attach an iModel as a reference in a DGN.

    To link a Revit model to an iModel and then reference it to your OpenBuildings model use the following steps:

    1. Open the Connection Center at Connect.Bentley.com.
    2. Select the Projects tab and select Register a Project. (You will need to have administrator privileges with your account to register a new project. You may need to talk to your Site Administrator)
      1. Enter a Project Number, and Project Name, select an Asset, Industry, and Type and select a Billing Country.
      2. Select Register. The project opens in the web browser.
    3. On the Team Members tile select Manage.
      1. Select Add User(s).
      2. Use either Name or Email to add yourself and any other team members you wish to have access. Select a Role for yourself that will give you privileges to View/Read/Write/Manage and Delete on the iModel Hub. See the link to to the Licensing, Cloud and Web Services Wiki for more information on Role-based Access.
      3. Browse back to the project Home page.
    4. Under ProjectWise 365 Services select the Share tile.
      1. Browse to select and upload the Revit model to the Share.
      2. Browse back to the project Home page.
    5. Under iTwin Services select the iModel Manager tile.
      1. Select Create iModel. Give the iModel a Name and Description. Select Create.
    6. Go back to the iModels tab, from the 3 dots select Connections.
      1. Select Create Connection.
      2. Select iTwin File Service. Select Next.
      3. Select the Revit Model. Select Next.
      4. Select the Revit Model. Select Next.
      5. Select Next.
      6. Give the Connection a name and set a schedule for synchronization. Never will allow you to synch manually.
      7. Select the Connection and synch manually.
    7. Open OpenBuildings Designer and select the Collaborate tab.
    8. Select Associate Project to WorkSet.
      1. Select Browse.
      2. Select the newly registered project.
      3. Select Associate. Select OK.
    9. Select Attach iTwin.
      1. Select the iModel created earlier.
      2. Select the iTwin references to attach and select Attach.

    The Revit model is now attached to your dgn file for coordination. The reference can be displayed on or off, levels can be displayed on and off and object properties can be viewed.
