Linking Non-Initiated BIM 360 Files into Revit

Linking Non-Initiated BIM 360 Files into Revit

If you have Desktop Connector installed, you probably realise you can ‘upload’ Revit models and other files to BIM 360 Docs by dragging and dropping to the folder in Windows Explorer (using Desktop Connector). However, when you try and link this using the BIM 360 shortcut in Revit, you might not be able to see the file…

Here is a workaround that may allow you to link a non-initiated Revit model into your Revit file:

  1. Ensure you have Autodesk Desktop Connector installed
  2. Start Link Revit command from the ribbon
  3. Open Windows Explorer
  4. Browse to BIM 360 Team – domain – folder
  5. Click to select the path from Windows Explorer address bar
  6. Paste it into the Link RVT dialog in Revit
  7. Select the file (non initiated) that you want to link

You should get the BIM 360 prefix in Manage Links:

There is a short video of this process here:
