Open or Join Teamwork Project

To open or join a Teamwork project in ARCHICAD:

1.The project must already have been shared to the BIMcloud.

See Share a Teamwork Project in ARCHICAD.

2.You must be a user on the BIMcloud.

See the BIMcloud User Guide for details.

Even if you are in offline mode, you can open a project which you joined earlier. However, since you cannot synchronize with the server when you are offline, you cannot be sure that the local copy you open is up to date.

Note: To open a Teamwork file from ARCHICAD 12 or earlier, you must first convert the project.

Open Recent Teamwork Project

If you have recently opened the project on this computer with the current user name, do one of the following:

From the Start ARCHICAD dialog box, select it from the listed Recent Projects

Use File > Open and select it from the listed Recent Projects

Choose Project from a BIMcloud

Do one of the following:

From the Start ARCHICAD dialog box, click Teamwork

For the selected server, the tree structure at left lists the project folders and projects on the BIMcloud to which you have access.

Click Refresh to refresh the contents of the tree and the folders.

-Simplified Management: You are a member of a folder’s child project

-Detailed Management: View item permission for the folder or any child folder/project

For each project, the dialog box shows its status (whether you have joined it already), the last time it was modified, its size and the BIMcloud Server on which it is housed.

If the selected BIMcloud is “Offline”, the tree structure shows only those projects that you already joined at an earlier time, and whose local data is available on your machine. You can open such a project and continue working on it in offline mode.

Locked projects are shown with a lock icon. You can open it in read-only mode.

Click Open.

(If you have not yet joined the project, the command changes from “Open” to “Join.”)

Import Travel Pack

The Import button in the Open Teamwork Project dialog box enables you to import a Travel Pack file (.twtravel). (You create a Travel Pack to transport a Teamwork Project and/or project libraries to different locations).

See Travel Pack: Move Your Teamwork Project and Libraries to a Different Computer.
