To open the model overview of a project, click a project in the on the left-hand side of the dashboard (1) and click the Models tab at the top of your screen (2).
This page displays all the models in this project that you have access to. If you don't have viewing rights for a specific model, this model will not be visible for you in this overview.
The model overview is personalized based on your access rights to the different models.
Click a model card to select it. Depending on your model access rights, you will be able to do any of the following actions on this model:
Open the model (3)
Delete the model (4)
Export the model to IFC (7)
To open a model you can also simply double-click the model card. When opening a model you can choose between continuing in the web browser or opening the model in the desktop app. Functionality-wise both environments work exactly the same, but for modeling operations in large models we do recommend using the desktop application as you will have more computing power available.
Opening a model in the web browser on mobile devices is not supported. Please download the mobile app using the App Store or Google Play Store.
Select multiple models at once by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the models, or hold the Shift key to select a range of models. Accessing the model version history and managing access rights for multiple models at once is currently not supported.
You can switch between card view (9) and list view (10) of the model in the top-right corner of the screen.
Use the sorting functionality to sort by model name, creation date and last updated (11).
Use the grouping functionality to group your models by creator or discipline (12). Grouping is only supported in the list view.
Use the search field to filter on model name (13).
The list view also allows you to rename models by clicking the pencil icon appearing next to a model name.
