In Revit, when adding a link, you’ll simply navigate to the other team’s Shared model in their Document Management ‘Shared’ folder ( BIM 360://Project Name/Project Files/ Shared/Team Name/FileName.rvt).

If your team wants to automatically have these newly-shared models linked in, it is possible to link directly to the 'Shared' folder location.

When the model author shares a package in Design Collaboration, a copy of the model will automatically be created (or updated to a new version: see image below) in the 'Shared' folder for their team in Document Management. Method 2 - Controlled Sharing - Link from the Shared Folder In Revit, when adding a link, you’ll simply navigate to your team’s Consumed folder in Document Management ( BIM 360://Project Name/Project Files/ Your Team Name/Consumed/Team Name/FileName.rvt). In the Document Management module, the model gets added to the ‘Consumed’ folder in Document Management, under the appropriate ‘team’ folder. In the Design Collaboration module, the package timeline dot will appear filled with color. To consume a package, click on the circle to select the it, then click the Consume button. To link to models that are published in Packages, you make it available for linking by ‘consuming’ the package. Exploring the package details will reveal the newly released items in a full model or sheet viewer, and will allow you to review changes made in the model since the last package was published by that team. It's useful to preview and ‘Explore’ a Package before choosing to consume it as your link.

In the image below, a member of the MEP team is consuming a package published by the Architecture team (designated by the white circle). Once the author has shared the package, you may then Consume it. Consuming a package means that you’ve brought another team’s package into your environment and it is available for linking to. To make their published model shareable, they must first click ' +' to create a new Package, then curate which ' Sets' (collections of views and sheets) they want included in the Package with the model. Using this workflow, the model author will first Publish their model - they can do this from Revit’s Publish function or from the 'Update to Latest' button in Design Collaboration. Method 1 - Controlled Sharing - ‘Consume’ Published Models from Packages There are several methods available to use when linking: With the release of Autodesk BIM 360 Design, project teams now have greater flexibility in how they allow their model to be consumed by others using Revit Cloud Worksharing.
