Autodesk integration

Use your Autodesk Revit Cloud account as the storage backend for stage files.

Business

What it does#

By default, Vellum stores stage files in our own secure cloud storage. The Autodesk integration switches that to **Autodesk Revit Cloud**, so your team's files live where the rest of your Autodesk workflow already does.

Once configured, every file uploaded through Vellum lands inside an Autodesk hub, project, and folder you map at the company level. Vellum keeps only a reference — the file itself stays in Autodesk's storage.

Setup#

Setup requires:

  • An Autodesk account with admin access to a hub.
  • An Admin user on the Vellum side to authorise the connection.
  • About 10 minutes.

From the Vellum admin area, open the Autodesk page and click "Connect". You'll be redirected to Autodesk to authorise; on return, you map a default Autodesk project and folder to act as the destination for new uploads. After saving, all later uploads go to Autodesk.

Limitations#

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Switching isn't retroactive. Files uploaded before the switch stay in Vellum's storage. Vellum doesn't migrate them.
  • One option at a time. A company is either on Vellum's storage or on Autodesk, not both.
  • Plan tier. This integration is part of the Business tier; get in touch with sales to enable it.
