Webinar Summary
If you are in the role of team administrator or BIM manager, it is necessary for you to understand how work-sharing works. You should know how to set up and maintain a workshared project. The workflow for both file-based work-sharing or server-based work-sharing is almost identical. In this webinar, you will learn file management techniques that can help you keep your Revit files in good health to avoid any performance issues.

What to Do When a File Fails to Open
Recommendations: ➢ Re-start Revit ➢ Re-start Computer ➢ Clean Window Catch (disk clean-up) ➢ Delete all Revit back-up files and any other excess Revit file ➢ If this doesn’t work – Ask a colleague to open the file in their Computer ✓ If it does open, it might be a hard drive issue in your local machine
➢ Finally, it will be necessary to compress the Central Model (this is part of maintenance of the Central file that must be done in a regular basis) www.netcomlearning.com | info@netcomlearning.com | (888) 563 8266
