The Common Data Environment (CDE) in BIMWorkplace centralizes project documentation, ensuring that all team members access the correct and most up-to-date information.
Follow these steps to upload files and organize your document structure.
- Access the CDE
- Go to the desired Project within your Workplace.
- Select the CDE module from the side panel.
Upload Files
You can upload files in two ways:
- Drag & Drop: Select files from your computer and drop them directly into the CDE interface.
- Upload Button: Click the “Upload” button and select the files from your computer.
Files can be uploaded directly into any existing folder or subfolder.
- Create a New Folder
- Right click on the root folder (“Project Folder”) any existing folder.
- Select “Add Subfolder”.
- Enter the folder name (e.g., Drawings – Structural, Contracts – Suppliers).
- Click Create Folder.
- Organize Your Files
Use the available actions in the ribbon to manage documents:
- Move – Transfer files to another folder.
- Copy – Duplicate files into a different location.
- Rename – Update file names.

These actions support structure document management within the CDE.
