The model structure loaded in the workspace is opaque and is now a local copy of the Network/Parent/Central model structure and appears in read-only mode. Users-1 navigates back to the folder of the Network/Parent/Central model and selects the Multiuser Demo.dwg, opens it, and preforms a zoom extent by selecting the mouse wheel twice. User-1 clicks on the Multi-User panel, to connect to the Network/Parent/Central model.Ģ. Users-1, for this example, opens this drawing with the same name.ġ. User-1 saved the drawing as User-1 within the folder they previously created. The template used is Users-1 and Users-2 opens a new drawing template and saves as, to a folder they previously created in the same location as the Network/ Parent/ Central location. This exercise is based on two users,Users-1, and Users-2. The Network/Parent /Central model must be closed as working directly on the Parent model is not good practice. The Network/Parent/Central model structure for this example is saved in the Advance Steel 2021 Work folder in a subfolder called Multi-User Demo Webinar. Then go to the security tab to change the security settings for the file and add the users. Open the file properties dialog for this DWG file (right click on the file > Properties). The folder needs to be on a NTFS partition.ĭ. Verify that the file is not set to read-only by right-clicking on the file and selecting properties from the contextual menu.Ĭ. Create a folder on the server/Network computer (for example “ Multi-User Demo” is used)ī. Setting up a Network/Parent/Central ModelĪ. The users work on a local copy and send the changes back to the Network/ Parent/Central model.Īdvance Steel provides a complete range of tools, all grouped on the Extended Modelling tab, on the Multi-User panel. The Parent model is a model saved in a DWG file that stores all project information and is shared on a network. If this option is turned off, then all the added users that should have access to this file will be automatically removed from the allowed access list for this file. It is necessary to check the option: “Include inheritable permission from this object’s parent”. When the work is done, users have the ability to “publish Reload” their work back to the Network/Parent /Central model, thus making it instantly accessible to other members. HOW TO USE THE MULTI-USER.Īreas of the model that have been checked out by other members are always available in read-only mode. In addition, users get real-time notifications enabling them to identify which parts of the model are being worked on by other members. Designed to increase productivity during the modelling stage of the project, the Multi-User toolset allows users to work on the same project at the same time.Įach member of a project team has access to a Network/Parent /Central model and can check out the elements they need to work on.
