Similarly if you are looking at a bookmark of which you have made a copy you will be able to "Open my copy" here.
Sharing
When a bookmark is shared with the project, all project members will be able to see the bookmark in their list of bookmarks.
Private
Only you will be able to see this bookmark.
You might have to turn of the publicly shared URL to make a bookmark private again.
Share with project
Project members will be able to filter for this bookmark and make copies of it.
Public URL sharing
In the public URL sharing part of a bookmark you can create a public URL.
Public URLs are typically used to show a client, external contractor or a government official what people in the project are working on without having to invite them to the project.
To create a public URL the bookmark first has to be shared with the project.
Enable public url
To enable a public bookmark click on Edit sharing and check the "Enable public url" checkbox.
Access required: Project administrator
When a URL is created anyone in the project can share it with people outside the project.
The public bookmark can be locked to revisions or to follow the latest revision just like a regular bookmark.
If you follow latest revision link holders can follow along with how the project is going.
If you lock to revisions link holders can get view of the current state of the model revisions in the bookmark.
Be sure to update the bookmark if any new models get added.
Expiration date
An expiration date can be set after which the URL will no longer open the bookmark.
If there are any models with 4D work plans in the project, these can be applied to the bookmark.
Workplan (4D)
If you add a 4D workplan they could even see the objects appearing as they get installed on the site.
Disabling public sharing
Organization owners can request for all public sharing features to be turned off for all their project. Some projects require this for security reasons.
If you would like to turn off all public sharing features please contact support with the black chat button next to your profile picture on the top right or via support@catenda.com
Models and revisions
After a bookmark has been created new revisions might be uploaded to it causing the bookmark to get outdated. Sometimes this is desired as you would like to see how it was at the time of creation and sometimes you want to see the bookmark with the latest revisions.
Follow latest revision
The latest published revision of the models in the bookmark will be loaded when it is played.
Shared revisions: Shared revisions will not be displayed as these are still in the workspace. If there is a published revision in the model of the shared revision, the latest published revision will be shown instead.
Lock to original revisions
The original revisions of the models in the bookmark will be loaded when it is played.
Shared revisions: With this option shared revisions will also be displayed.
Below the options the models will be listed with the revision of the model that will be shown when the bookmark is played.
Be sure to update the bookmark if any new models get added.
Documents
Here you will see any documents that might have been loaded in the 3D viewer when the bookmark was created. These can be the following:
- IFC documents that have not been connected to a model (Legacy)
- Point clouds
- GML
Here you will see the location of the document in the file structure, the name of the document and the revision of the document that will be shown.
These documents will also be visible with public bookmarks.
