The information that can be bundled is a lot of different file formats plus that you can also view design attributes for more accurate knowledge of the information that easily visible in the information you interested in. Is there tools to combine and deliver the projects as whole information bundles, not file by file.Īutodesk have two different sotfwares to bundle projects to one Navis file (.nwd), Naviswork Simulate and Navisworks Manage. Yes this is about collaboration, how we collaborate digitally within and outside Bentley. Thank you for bringing the discussion to exactly what this thread was meant to be. I've not used a cloud solution with MicroStation and I'm happy that's going to stay that way. I've also used Packager (.pzip) files but they aren't ideal as the folder structure if gives you never matches any project folder structure so it there was always a lot of manual work to relocate files where they should go. In fact, the very first project I ever worked on with a new employer originally started out on ProjectWise but due to the delays that it caused (iirc partially due to the markup/approval process), the project got hauled out of it and put back on a network drive.

Entering Titleblock information via some custom form in the PW application instead of a drawing, is frustrating and slow, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. On the Bentley side, where models and drawings are isolated as individual files, ProjectWise works fine, its just not pleasant to use, and that goes for PW hosted in an office and also hosted online. Here's an example show the view and some of the Drawing Sheets in the Project Browser: The building file contains not only the 3D model, but all the different views (Plans/Sections/Details/Drafting View/Schedules/Drawing Sheets and whatever else you choose to make), however, common practice is that you strip out the RVT file to remove your Drawing Sheets before sharing with consultants (to prevent others altering and printing your drawings). I don't know if you have any knowledge of REVIT but projects where it is used typically consist of only just a couple of files (but can be more depending on the nature of the project).
