Importing models into Autodesk Platform Services

About this task

This section explains the steps required to view a model within IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities.
Note: Some of these steps may have been performed outside the current Maximo Real Estate and Facilities instance. If so, Buckets, Model Files, and translated models may already be shown in the BIM Model Administration Tool.

Procedure

  1. Create one or more storage containers called Buckets in the Autodesk Platform Services to hold the model files. For the purpose of a demo, only one storage container is required. If you manage models for multiple projects or companies, you should create an additional container to organize your models.
  2. Upload the model files to Autodesk Platform Services.
  3. Request that Autodesk Platform Services translates the model into a viewable format.
  4. Associate the viewable model with the Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Building record for the facility that is represented by the model. The Building and its contained Floor, Space, and Building equipment records are typically created from Autodesk Revit with the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Connector for BIM.
