Integrations

Available data sources for integration:

• ProjectWise Design Integration
• iTwin File Service

ProjectWise Design Integration

You can map design files stored in ProjectWise Design Integration with an iModel and synchronize changes. For that, you need to choose ProjectWise Design Integration as a data source. 

Prerequisites

To process ProjectWise documents, these products will need to be installed and configured:

• ProjectWise Application server

• Web Service Gateway. Version info:

  •  PW WSG plugin version 3.456 or higher is required.

 NOTE: The Web Service Gateway URL should be publicly accessible from the internet. It is required for the Azure service to reach out to it and pull files from it.

The latest version of Design applications must be installed on the same machines as the WSG server. For example, MicroStation should be installed if the workspace is using its files.

• The latest released versions of the MicroStation, Open Building Designer, and OpenRoads Designer applications could be downloaded from https://softwaredownloads.bentley.com/en/.

NOTE: It is important to open Design applications at least once in a machine. After opening it, specific required files will be created.

Mapping

Follow these steps to connect to ProjectWise Design Integration server:

1. Define the WSG Server URL and click Get Datasource button
   NOTE: Datasource should be accessible to your user.
2. Select the required data source from the dropdown list
3. Select a Work Area from the dropdown list
4. Click Next button

Once connected, navigate to the design files you would like to use. Follow the usual connection wizard steps.

 NOTE: Composite model and all referenced files can be in separate folders.

iTwin File Service

You can map design files stored in iTwin File Service with an iModel and synchronize changes. For that, you need to choose iTwin File Service as a data source.  

NOTE: You need to have at least Read  Share permission defined in Role Based Access Control. 

Mapping

Once connected, navigate to the design files you would like to use. Follow the usual connection wizard steps.

 NOTE: Discipline composite model and all reference files must be in the same folder.

    NOTE: Open Building Designer connector is not available for iTwin File Service because of the workspace support limitation. Use ProjectWise workflow instead which has support for workspace.
