See Connection Settings to learn more about how to set up connections.
BIMcloud Manager automatically tests the addresses while entering them and provides feedback about the result.
You can also enter a non-working address, because it might work from a different location.
Changes cannot be saved if one of the entered addresses points to a different BIMcloud.
