Click on the synchronize button to renew the navigation-tree. If files were added or removed while ZOOM is connected to the project, it won’t detect these automatically.Same with removed files, they will be shown in red as ‘missing'. Next time you connect ZOOM to the BIMcollab project it will find the new file and adds it to the project. When a new modelfile is placed in the project folder on Dropbox Business, Dropbox will take care of sharing this file with all team members.Updating, adding and removing models from your project Note: We advise to prevent the use of move&rotate since they can make the use of viewpoints unreliable, Instead make sure models are positioned correctly in their authoring tools. Synchronizing these file-settings to the cloud can only be done by project leaders. After synchronizing with BIMcollab Cloud, these file-settings in the navigation-tree will be available for all team members. When a model is given a prefix or moved/rotated, this will be stored in the project. This load-status is personal and can be different for each user. However ZOOM will remember which files are loaded and automatically loads the same files the next time you connect to the project. BIMcollab ZOOM will automatically detect the correct local Dropbox folder and adds any supported files, including IFC reference files and point clouds, to the navigation tree.īy default all models will be unloaded. Start BIMcollab ZOOM and connect to the BIMcollab project with the Dropbox Business Integration. The folder can now be used to share models, IFC reference files, point clouds, PDF documents, etc. The BIMcollab folder must be synced locally to allow ZOOM to open your models. Note: Do not use the Dropbox “online-only” mode. Once installed, the ‘BIMcollab’ folder will be available.

To be able to share and access the files via Dropbox Business, all team members should install the Dropbox desktop application on their computer. Only the Project leader who is setting up the integration needs administration rights on the Dropbox Business account. A personal Dropbox account is sufficient to access the project. Note: The team members don’t require a Dropbox Business account.

Permission to access Dropbox can be updated at any time. Reviewers and viewers will have read access only. Team members who have the role of Editor or Project leader will have read and write access to the project folder on Dropbox Business. Provide access to Dropbox to those team members who will require it:
