Some modeling tools, such as Autodesk Revit, have a workflow
that distributes a model across many files that are then linked to form the complete model. For
example, a model may be divided into an architectural, an MEP, and a structure component each in
different Revit
files. Autodesk Platform Services
can integrate these parts into a single model for display in the Autodesk Platform Services Viewer.
Procedure
Gather the files composing the model into a directory tree that can easily be
converted into a compressed file. Ideally, you should remove extraneous files
such as auto-save files.
Select the file that will be the master file for the linked model. Ensure that
all linked parts or submodel files load correctly when this file is
opened.
Convert the directory containing the model files into a compressed file.
