Once complete, you will begin to see PDFs arriving in Autodesk Docs from Aconex on a daily / nightly basis. Although the scope is basically the same for every Aconex client that wants this, it seems individual Aconex clients will be charged significantly for this development to occur and operate on their ‘own’ PIF. This will require considerable time, effort, $$ and planning. The Aconex PIF is hard to find on the inter-webs…Īs part of my strategic consultancy work as a Director at Virtual Built Technology, I have assisted clients in setting up the Aconex to BIM 360 sync. This essentially acts as an API, and clients are able to build integrations between Aconex and other tools using their own budget. Step 1 – Aconex Document Register sync with BIM 360 Document ManagementĪconex provides a PIF (Project Integration Framework). Connect the BIM 360 project to the Revizto project and connect your BIM 360 ‘official Aconex’ PDFs to Revizto 2D Sheets.Setup a sync between the Aconex Doc Register and Autodesk Docs (BIM 360 Document Management), using the Aconex PIF and Autodesk APIs.However, you can achieve the promise in the title of this post – with a bit of work! They seem to deliberately resist platform-level integration with other tools like BIM 360 and Revizto. Autodesk, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk Docs, BIM360 7zip, Autodesk Construction Cloud, BIM360, Collaboration for Revit, hard drive, log files No Commentsįirst, let’s manage some expectations – Aconex is generally viewed as a closed platform.
#Revizto ports archive#
To future-proof this scenario, I’m considering writing a Powershell script to detect and possibly archive and delete the existence of massive log files.

I used 7-zip with the “Fastest” and “Delete files after compression” option to archive and delete those logs.

The final resolution was quite simple – delete the massive log files, and then the files linked to Revit fine. I reviewed the files and folders and discovered that one particular program was generating massive log files: So Revit was failing to link the model, but wasn’t providing a ‘insufficient hard drive space’ warning.
#Revizto ports windows#
Windows Explorer showed this hard drive was essentially running out of space. I had previously used this method ( Moving the Revit BIM360 CollaborationCache Folder to a Secondary Hard Drive ) to move the cache for BIM 360 / ACC Docs to a secondary hard drive. The federated host model and the links were all initiated and ‘live’ collaborated models on the Autodesk Construction Cloud.

The models were failing to link, but no error message or warning was provided. I was recently trying to link Revit models to a federated file on Revit 2021.
