Update Projects in the Newforma Model Viewer

The Newforma Model Viewer Powered by VEO is a multiuser environment. Multiple users may be viewing the model simultaneously, adding or updating master presets and styles. The viewer updates users to these changes so that they can update their own environment to the most current version of the model.

In addition, when changes are made to a project in Revit that has been exported to the Newforma Model Viewer, the project is republished so that the newest version is available to Newforma Model Viewer users. Users are also alerted to these changes to project structure.

Perform the following steps to update a project in the Newforma Model Viewer.

For information on configuring the Newforma Model Viewer, please see Newforma Model Viewer Setup and Workflow.
