Welcome back to CAD Teacher VDCI's video course content

00:04.600 --> 00:06.880
for the BIM-322 course.

00:06.880 --> 00:08.920
In the previous video, we talked about the files

00:08.920 --> 00:10.180
that you needed to download

00:10.180 --> 00:13.800
from the S student information system,

00:13.800 --> 00:16.480
and then the folder structure on your C drive

00:16.480 --> 00:19.040
as a folder in BIM-322,

00:19.040 --> 00:22.960
then BIM-322 backgrounds central details.

00:22.960 --> 00:24.160
And so what we're gonna go ahead and do now

00:24.160 --> 00:24.920
is we're actually gonna go ahead

00:24.920 --> 00:26.520
and start working on the project.

00:26.520 --> 00:29.040
But what we need to go ahead and do first is,

00:29.040 --> 00:31.800
is we need to go and look at the central,

00:31.800 --> 00:35.760
and go ahead and open up this central and detach it,

00:35.760 --> 00:38.440
and then re-save it as a central file.

00:38.440 --> 00:39.800
When we move the central file,

00:39.800 --> 00:41.800
or when you download to your local computer,

00:41.800 --> 00:44.600
Rev it kinda has some odd things that it goes through,

00:44.600 --> 00:46.800
and so we need to re-save this as a central file

00:46.800 --> 00:48.240
on your local machine.

00:48.240 --> 00:50.320
So what I'd like you to go ahead and do

00:50.320 --> 00:52.760
is please, under your BIM-322 folder,

00:52.760 --> 00:56.120
go to the BIM-322-Central,

00:56.120 --> 00:58.760
go ahead, go to BIM-322-Central here,

00:58.760 --> 01:02.880
and go ahead and hit detach from central, please.

01:02.880 --> 01:04.080
Then go ahead and hit open.

01:05.480 --> 01:08.760
Go ahead and also select detach and preserve worksets.

01:14.480 --> 01:17.240
And what we have now is, is we have the model file,

01:17.240 --> 01:19.880
or the central file has not been detached.

01:19.880 --> 01:21.040
And what we wanna go ahead and do now

01:21.040 --> 01:24.880
is we wanna re-save this as a new central file.

01:24.880 --> 01:27.080
So what I wanna go ahead and do,

01:27.080 --> 01:30.520
is I'm gonna go ahead and go up to the application button here.

01:31.560 --> 01:32.800
I'm gonna pull this down,

01:32.800 --> 01:35.640
and I'm gonna go save as project.

01:38.120 --> 01:41.880
It's gonna take me back to the BIM-322-Central,

01:41.880 --> 01:44.000
or just navigate to that location.

01:45.760 --> 01:46.840
And what I'm gonna do now is,

01:46.840 --> 01:49.880
I'm gonna select that BIM-322-Central

01:49.880 --> 01:51.320
to get the file name here.

01:52.280 --> 01:53.840
I'm also gonna go into options,

01:54.840 --> 01:59.160
and I'm gonna make sure that the make this a central file model

01:59.160 --> 02:03.280
after save is checkmarked here.

02:03.280 --> 02:06.840
Gonna hit okay, I'm gonna go ahead hit save,

02:07.840 --> 02:09.720
and it's gonna save the file.

02:09.720 --> 02:12.400
This is gonna come up, if you have a backup version,

02:12.400 --> 02:13.800
just go ahead and hit yes.

02:21.200 --> 02:23.360
So it saves that as a new central file,

02:23.360 --> 02:25.360
and we do not wanna work in this file.

02:25.360 --> 02:26.960
This is the central file,

02:26.960 --> 02:29.880
we need to create a new local user copy

02:29.880 --> 02:31.680
that we will use to work in,

02:31.680 --> 02:35.840
that will actually be synchronized to this central file.

02:35.840 --> 02:36.800
So what I'm gonna do is,

02:36.800 --> 02:38.720
I'm gonna go ahead and close this down,

02:38.720 --> 02:40.240
in the top right corner here.

02:41.720 --> 02:42.960
And what I'm gonna do now is,

02:42.960 --> 02:44.280
I'm gonna go back to open,

02:46.080 --> 02:49.160
and I'm gonna select that file I just created with that save.

02:50.720 --> 02:53.320
But instead of detach from central this time,

02:53.320 --> 02:56.520
I'm gonna go create new local.

02:56.520 --> 02:58.840
I'm gonna go ahead and hit open,

02:58.840 --> 03:01.720
and it's gonna create a new local file for us.

03:04.120 --> 03:07.680
Now, the issue with this new local file is,

03:07.680 --> 03:10.480
is that when Revit creates a new local file,

03:10.480 --> 03:12.880
it automatically saves and are my documents,

03:12.880 --> 03:15.240
and that's not really where we wanna save anything.

03:15.240 --> 03:17.000
So what I wanna go ahead and do is,

03:17.000 --> 03:19.320
let's go ahead and click save up here,

03:20.320 --> 03:23.080
and we're gonna go ahead and move this

03:23.080 --> 03:25.600
to our BIM322 folder.

03:25.600 --> 03:28.160
So what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna close it again,

03:28.160 --> 03:31.280
go ahead and just synchronize with the central, that's fine.

03:33.720 --> 03:34.560
Hit okay,

03:38.960 --> 03:39.960
and what I'm gonna do now is,

03:39.960 --> 03:41.880
is I'm gonna go down on my start button,

03:42.840 --> 03:44.960
and I'm gonna go to my documents.

03:44.960 --> 03:47.200
If you need to go ahead and use your own way

03:47.200 --> 03:48.160
to get here my documents,

03:48.160 --> 03:50.160
if you have a faster way of doing it,

03:50.160 --> 03:52.320
I'm gonna go to my documents here,

03:52.320 --> 03:56.440
and as you can see, that BIM322 central is saved here.

03:56.440 --> 03:57.760
This is not where we wanna save it,

03:57.760 --> 04:00.000
we wanna save it in a server location,

04:00.000 --> 04:02.640
so if people need to access it, they can.

04:02.640 --> 04:03.480
So what I'm gonna do is,

04:03.480 --> 04:05.040
is I'm gonna select this file,

04:06.120 --> 04:08.880
do a right click, and go cut.

04:10.760 --> 04:12.600
I'm gonna go back over to my C drive,

04:14.400 --> 04:16.600
go to my BIM322 folder,

04:18.680 --> 04:20.560
and I'm gonna go ahead and paste it here.

04:20.560 --> 04:24.280
So all I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna do a right click, paste.

04:25.720 --> 04:29.440
And we've now put that file, excuse me,

04:29.440 --> 04:31.520
in our BIM322 folder.

04:31.520 --> 04:33.480
I wanna go ahead and rename it real quickly,

04:33.480 --> 04:35.480
so that we do not have any confusion,

04:35.480 --> 04:38.240
that this is the central, I'm gonna select it,

04:39.720 --> 04:41.320
right click, rename,

04:43.280 --> 04:44.440
and I'm gonna rename it,

04:45.440 --> 04:48.440
my name, dash local,

04:50.080 --> 04:52.640
and click off, to lock in that name.

04:53.600 --> 04:57.440
What I'm gonna do now is, I'm gonna close my Windows Explorer here,

04:59.240 --> 05:01.120
and I'm gonna go ahead and go open,

05:03.080 --> 05:07.080
I'm gonna go up a level to my BIM322 folder,

05:08.600 --> 05:12.000
go to my, the local file I just created,

05:13.000 --> 05:14.320
and it open.

05:20.160 --> 05:23.520
And this is where we're gonna go ahead and start, okay?

05:23.520 --> 05:25.440
So I'm gonna go ahead and stop this video here,

05:25.440 --> 05:27.080
and the next videos we're gonna go ahead

05:27.080 --> 05:29.240
and actually get started with modeling.

05:29.240 --> 05:30.080
See you then.
