Step 2: Assign to aBIM 360Team Hub (new or existing) See BIM 360 Team: Contract Assignment Workflow. You can create a Team Hub from here: https://team.bim360.com NOTE: this can only be done by the Contract Manager for the Collaboration for Revit software. a. Log in to your Autodesk account. Manage.autodesk.com Under the management tab and All Products, locate theBIM 360Team/Collaboration for Revit contract. b. Click Access Now located at the far right.

Assign the Collaboration for Revit to a Team Hub. If not available from drop down, enter hub URL and assign contract. d. Once assigned, details will show up on the Team Hub dashboard.

Step 4: Invite users to the Team Hub. From the Team Hub, select the “members & roles” tab and “Invite” users.  BIM 360 Team: Contract Assignment Workflow.
