Share Content Between Cloud Projects Using a Static Bridge | Autodesk Civil 3D Collaboration Tutorial

In this tutorial, you will learn how to share content between cloud projects using a Static Bridge in Autodesk Forma Data Management and Collaboration for Civil 3D.

This tutorial explains the static bridge workflow and how it helps project teams share and access relevant project content across different cloud projects. Learn how cloud-based collaboration can improve coordination, information sharing, and project management in infrastructure design workflows.
What You Will Learn
- Introduction to Static Bridge in cloud projects
- How to share content between cloud projects
- Understanding the Static Bridge workflow
- Managing shared project information
- Improving collaboration between project teams
- Cloud-based data sharing for Civil 3D projects
- Best practices for BIM collaboration and infrastructure projects

Transcript
00:09you can replicate or copy content between civil 3d projects in the cloud using the bridge tool
00:16this type of connection allows any cloud-based civil 3d project to leverage files from another
00:22cloud project even if it resides in a different account this example configures a static bridge
00:29for one-time file replication but you can also create a synchronized bridge to share and synchronize
00:34data between a host project and a receiving project to create a bridge you must be a member
00:41of both the sending and receiving projects with appropriate folder permissions specifically
00:48you need view and download permissions or higher in the folder you are sending content from
00:53and edit permissions or higher in the receiving folder a static bridge is useful when you have
01:00content in one project that is valuable to share in another project for example here roadway project
01:08a has a pkt file that is a custom sub-assembly creating a bridge will replicate this content
01:15as a standalone file and project b where it can be used as a starting point and edited as needed
01:22you can do the same thing with aerial photos dwg files or other files you want to copy to another
01:29project
01:31to create a static bridge begin in your web browser with two acc tabs open one open to the project
01:38files
01:38of the sending project and one for the receiving project here the zurich phase one and zurich phase two
01:46projects are open in the phase one project open the project files resources folder where you see two pkt
01:55files that you want to access in the phase two project to create a static bridge select both files
02:04then expand the more menu and select share in the share dialog select another project type a title for the
02:14bridge transaction in this case pkt share click in the target project field and select the project you
02:22are sharing content with in this case zurich phase two then click in the target folder field to select a
02:30folder in the directory structure of the selected project here expand project files and select resources
02:39click select back in the share dialog under selected items you see the files you have selected to share
02:48you can add more content by clicking add folders but for now click share a confirmation message informs
02:57you that the transaction is underway next switch to the receiving project phase two and open the resources folder
03:07here you can see the bridged files a record is kept of all bridge transactions in the navigation panel notice
03:16the bridge option which can also be accessed from the project admin or build modules click bridge to
03:24review and manage bridges between projects click the incoming tab to see a record of bridge transactions
03:31including including the name of the bridge who created it what project it came from and when it was accepted
03:39select the bridge in this case pkt share and you can see the files that are included in that bridge
03:47returning to bridge select the outgoing tab where you see nothing because this is the receiving project
03:55switch to the phase one project and select bridge to see similar information because this is the sending
04:03project you will find the bridge information on the outgoing tab with nothing on the incoming tab now you know
04:10how to create a static bridge to replicate information from one project to another in the cloud even if they
04:16exist in
04:16different accounts
