Issue:
You are working in a "Cloud Model for Revit" (Non-workshared) and need to use StabiBASE features like Sheet Management, or you are experiencing error reports in versions older than 25.08.
 
Solution A: Save as Local Project Use this if cloud collaboration is not required.
1. Open the file in Revit.
2. Go to File > Save As > Project.
3. Save the file to a standard network drive or a local BIM 360/Desktop Connector folder.
4. Register the local file in StabiBASE as normal.
5. Repeat steps for linked models when those are save to the ACC as well.
 
Solution B: Convert to Workshared Model Use this if you need both cloud hosting and StabiBASE features.

  1. Download and rename
    • In ACC/BIM 360 Document Management (web), download the RVT file and rename it (for example, ProjectName_Workshared.rvt).

  2. Enable worksharing locally
    • Open the renamed file in Revit. In the Open dialog, check “Audit” and click Open.
    • Switch to the Collaborate ribbon → Collaborate → Within your network.
    • Choose a local folder (for example, %UserProfile%\Documents\Revit\Projects), click Save.
    • In the Collaborate dialog, set up worksharing and click OK.

  3. Create a new Central model in BIM 360
    • Close the file. Reopen that same local file in Revit, checking “Detach from Central” before you click Open.
    • On the Collaborate ribbon → Collaborate → In BIM 360 Document Management.
    • Browse to the desired BIM 360 project folder, click Initiate to publish a new Central model.
    • Once upload completes, synchronize and close Revit.

  4. Register the Central model in StabiBASE
    • Open Revit and load the model from BIM 360 (use the BIM 360 button on the Open dialog).
    • Go to the StabiTOOLS ribbon → Register central model in StabiBASE.
    • Select or create the corresponding A360 HUB and confirm.

Important
• Always open and edit the model in Revit; do not open it directly in StabiBASE.
• After editing, use “Synchronize with Central” to push changes back to BIM 360.
