Opening the Bricsys 24/7 Panel

1. Click the Bricsys 24/7 icon in the Tool panel on the right side of the workspace (if it’s not there, right-click the Tool panel and tick Bricsys 24/7 in the dropdown menu).
2. Log in to your 24/7 account if you haven’t already.

Adding a File to the Project

2. Click the plus icon to open Add new document, and choose a file.
3. Choose a status from the dropdown, Draft, for example.

The file appears in the folder’s file list, marked Available for download; downloaded files save to the folder set by CLOUDDOWNLOADPATH.

Editing an Uploaded File

Double-click the file to open it. After editing and saving, its status changes to Locally modified. Right-click it to lock it against editing by anyone else. Upload the modified file again with a new status and description; it then gets marked Up-to-date.
