- [Instructor] In this video, I'm going to switch
to the Design Collaboration module within
the web-based interface of BIM 360.
Now, if you watched the previous video, we logged in
as a limited user who was not a Revit user
and we saw some of the things that she could do
in the BIM 360 portal, and we left off
in the Document Management module where I am right now.
But what I've done in the meantime is, I've switched users.
So if you look over here at my badge in the corner,
you can see that I'm now logged in as my user, Hawie Cadell.
Now, Hawie is a member of the structure
and the architecture teams.
So he serves both roles within this project.
What I wanted you to see here in document management
before we move on to design collaboration is,
that because Hawie has access to both
architecture and structure, he sees both of those folders.
So we're going to continue to talk about this idea
of user access as we go along, but you're going to see
that it shows up everywhere throughout
the BIM 360 ecosystem.
Another place where it's going to show up
is on the module picker.
So if I open up the module picker and you look at it,
there are still three items here just like Julie had,
but they are three different items.
Julie had project home insight and Document Management.
Hawie has project home, document management
and design collaboration.
So why do they see different modules?
Well, again, it totally depends on their usernames,
their logins and which modules and software
they have licenses and access to.
So if you're not sure what you have access to
or what you need to have access to, you can talk it over
with your BIM manager or other support person
who's responsible for that in your company,
and what you see on your screen might vary
from what you see on mine from time to time.
Okay, so let's focus on the design collaboration module
for Hawie's experience.
So I'm going to choose design collaboration here,
and that will switch over to that module.
And, you know, it looks pretty different
than document management did.
Now always important to look at the top of the screen
on your account in project, just to make sure that
it didn't inadvertently switch on you.
It does that sometimes.
So I wanted to make sure that I'm still
in the correct account and that I'm still
in Nadia's Garden.
But when I look at this menu,
notice that it is a little different.
One more example of the difference between
two different user logins, Hawie has access
to three different projects within my account,
while Julie only had access to one.
Okay, so anyway, Nadia's Garden's chosen
and you might see different projects there.
So choose whatever project you want to work in
for this example.
Okay, I mentioned that Hawie was a member of both
the architecture and the structure teams.
When I went to design collaboration,
it defaulted to the architecture team home space.
So what we're looking at right now is a home space here,
and it's architecture.
What if Hawie wanted to work in the structure home space?
Well, he has access to it,
but he would have to have some way to switch.
The way that he would switch is using
this little menu right here, and if you click that,
it expands open to something that we call the timelines,
or sometimes they're referred to as the swimlanes.
Now, I'm going to talk about the details of what
all of these means in future videos,
all those different icons on the timelines and all of that.
We're not really concerned with that at the moment,
all I want to focus on is the disciplines
that we see over here.
So there's architecture because that's the team space
that I'm currently in,
above that it says shared.
If I click on shared, it'll actually expand that out
into two swimlanes.
So we now see MEP and structure.
Now, how he's able to click on structure
because he's a member of that team
and notice that it shuffles everything around
and it just changed the focus of my team space
to the structural team.
Now, if he tries to do the same thing with MEP,
nothing happens because he's not a member of that team.
So you have to be a member of that team before you can
make it the active team space.
Now I'm going to switch back to architecture
by doing the same thing and clicking on that team space.
So now that I've decided which team space I want to work in
and I've made sure that I've got the right one,
I'll just click this little X here to close the timelines
and give myself a little bit more room here to work.
Now, right next to the name of the team,
you have two items here.
These three are kind of grouped together,
and this says, explore, set contents in your team space.
And then you also have this item, project model,
which allows you to explore an aggregated model.
Now, I encourage you to try both of these on your own.
What I'm going to do is start with sets.
Now, the other place I can get to the sets is right here,
because it says sets and here's a list.
So right here, it tells me I've got two sets.
The contents of those two sets are a total of 13 sheets
and four views.
And if I look down here, I can see that set one
is 3D views.
It contains four 3D views, no sheets.
Set two is DD set.
It contains 13 sheets and no 3D views.
So that 13 and four breaks down across the two sets.
So what I'm going to do is click on the DD set here,
and that will actually load that set,
and it will take me to the first item in that set,
which happens to be sheet A one, the first floor plan.
Notice that this is a 2D view on a sheet.
So in the previous video, we were looking at a 3D model
and we could certainly do that here as well,
but in this case, we're looking at a 2D sheet.
Now I'm going to stay focused on the contents of the DD set
for the remainder of this video,
we'll look at some of the other set contents
in a future video.
But let's go ahead and zoom in a little bit here.
So I'm just going to roll my wheel and zoom in,
and you can pan around
by holding the wheel down and dragging.
So same kind of things that we talked about
in the previous video.
Now you can select items in this view as well
and view their properties.
They just don't highlight very clearly when you select them.
So if I click say this table,
you can see it subtly changed color.
It's a little bit of a dark blue, but it really is subtle.
So you have to kind of trust that it's selected.
Now, if you want to be sure that it's selected,
come over here and click the properties palette,
and then it will tell you very clearly
what object you have selected.
So in this case, I have a table-dining with chairs selected.
If I switch to a wall, you'll see it highlights slightly,
but now it says basic wall.
Click a door, it says door double flush.
So I am in fact, selecting objects and being able to view
their properties and you can scroll through
and see all of the different properties here,
but it's just a little difficult to tell
that they're selected here in this floor plan view.
I'm going to go ahead and close out of the properties.
Now look at the elevation and section heads.
I've got section heads here, and I've got an elevation here.
And notice that the sheet number is highlighted
in color there for the elevation marker there,
and for this plan call out here.
So the way this works is, that's actually a hyperlink
and I could click that and it will take me to that sheet.
So notice that it took me to this sheet that contains
these enlarged dining room plans.
And then if I zoom in, there's that same elevation marker.
And if I click that sheet, it takes me to a sheet
that contains those interior elevations.
And, once again, we can kind of zoom in,
we can pan around, we can select objects,
we can view their properties.
So it works the same way in any of these views,
it's just different ways of navigating around.
Now, if you want to back up through the views
that you've been opening, you can click right here
and it'll go back one at a time,
or you can use the drop-down menu here and jump all the way
back to the beginning where you started from.
That's some easy ways that you can kind of start to navigate
around this document set.
So I encourage you to explore the sheets here
in the DD set a little bit further.
Now, most of them are 2D views,
but they are not all 2D views.
There actually is a sheet, A15 here
that does have some 3D views on the sheet.
So sets are not limited to 2D or 3D, it's entirely up to you
what contents you want them to contain.
In fact, there is even an A13 sheet here,
which has schedules on it.
So these are literally the sheets that came from
the Revit project.
So take a little bit more time to navigate around
and explore the elements within this set
and then when you're ready,
you can move on to the next video where we will explore
some of these elements in 3D.
