When using Rhino.Inside.Revit do you wish you could use BIM360 to store the most recent Rhino and Grasshopper files as part of the project also. It is now possible to use Rhino and Grasshopper files in BIM 360 benefiting from the backup, versioning and file locking that BIM 360 offers.
BIM360 will lock files if currently open by another person. @eirannejad has made it possible for Rhino and Grasshopper to use BIM360 file locking in Rhino. The BIM360 File Locker for Rhino is available whether in Rhino.Inside.Revit or in Rhino by itself.
This is an underrated plugin! However, it doesn’t seem to be showing up in the Package Manager search bar anymore? I was following the naming in the tutorial youtube video.
I can still build from source but would prefer to use yak.
Not much, but we’re starting deploying project on ACC rather than BIM360 to get more potentialities of the cloud services provided by Autodesk, so in the future we will be forced to find a way. At the moment we can still manage content on the company server, but our ambition is to have all project files on the cloud.
First off, Thank You! This greatly reduces save times when staff are working remotely, vs saving over VPN. From my testing it seems Rhino worksessions do not work on BIM360, as the path is to the initial user’s personal autodesk docs path in their user profile. is there another way to use worksessions on BIM360? I could be missing something obvious.
That’s interesting. Are you using ACC or BIM360? We are on ACC and worksessions appear to be working. The only caveat is sometimes manual syncing is required prior to opening up a worksession.

I recently installed the BIM360FileLockerForRhino on my machine and others of my team so we could have a better workflow, however, it does not seem to lock our files even though it states that it has… "[BIM360 File Locker] Successfully connected to ADC [BIM360 File Locker] Locked “SITE-HCI Vineyard_Environmental Analysis.3dm”
I’ve refreshed my File Explorer to see if there is a lock on anything (nope) I’ve also experimented by opening a file my colleague opened to see if I could save over the file while he was in it and it didn’t prompt with any warnings.
Is there a patch for this plug in that sync’s things back up with the latest ACC? I don’t know if it’s a factor in the code for the plug in, but recently ACC modified their file pathing… ?
Hi Craig, Thanks for reporting, its been a while since I’ve had that up and going, last time i tried to get into BIM360 it was giving me the run around logging in. I’ll try again and try to replicate your issue.
